I'm feeling a little down this morning, as I usually do on Mondays. I know, shit, what the hell else is new? Then I read a blog entry that made me think. The author asked that we list a few things in our lives that we coud never grow tired of. As a person who often struggles with depression and sadness, it always helps to think of the little blessings in life.
I could never grow tired of my friends and family. I am very blessed to have a couple of wonderful, close friends and a very close family. There are times when I feel very lonely, but I don't think I can even begin to understand the true meaning of lonliness. My friends and family have always been there for me.
I could never grow tired of art. I love the world of art...music, literature, visual arts...the world would be such a dull place without artistic influence. I am very thankful for my artistic ability. It doesn't matter if I use it to make money or if I just do it for me. I enjoy having such an outlet.
I could never grow tired of my pets and animals and nature in general. These things help me to relax. There is nothing like the unconditional love you receive from a pet. There is also nothing like walking through nature, listening to bird song, smelling the plants, feeling the breeze...it does wonders for the soul. I also love thunderstorms and rain, natures way of cleaning house. It's always fun to watch a good thunderstorm.
I could never grow tired of laughing. I love to be silly and laugh. I love making people say, "What the hell? You are nuts!" It's so much fun to just let go. I never want to lose my inner child. It's important to be able to let go and be silly. It helps balance things out in this stressful world we live in.
I could never grow tired of loving. I am very lucky to have a partner who also really appreciates the above listed things. He's taught me to appreciate them even more. As I've said before, I know that relationships are hard work and I am up for the challenge. I can't wait to build a life with this person. I am very fortunate to have found him.
Okay, it's time to get to work. I've been thinking and worrying too much again. Once again, I have to remember the little things.
