It's a Beautiful Day. . .

Have you ever walked outside on a warm spring day and felt that everything at that moment was going to be ok? Well today was that kind of day for me. The sun seemed to say "I'm gonna shine all I want, and you try to stop me!" Yes, I'm in love with the sun. It just finds a way to make everything 10 times more beautiful than it is without it.

The other day my parents said something to me that really shook me up. I won't go into details, but it was something my ex used to say about me. I always brushed it off like he was just angry at me for being angry at him. Leave it to my parents to knock some sense into me, after all they're the ones that are supposed to know me best. Anyway, this made me do a little soul searching. As Jenny has mentioned, me and her love to sit and mock our SMFPOs, and we find this endlessly amusing. But I think for me, this is just a way to take all the hurt and anger and make light of the situation. I realize now that I can let go. It sounds so simple, I know, but it has taken me a while to actually do it. Today I sat down with the person who has disappointed me and has enraged me like no one else and just remembered that he also made me happier than anyone has thus far. WOW did this feel good!

I write this to all of you who I've heard about that are angry and hurt by someone who was once special to them. . .believe me, not only will you feel better, you will be a better person for it.
