LOVE this.
I know I haven’t posted much, but I promise things are coming with the weekend, and the time I get during it!
For now though, I really just want to share this (written by Kelle of Enjoying the Small things):
“The thing is, I hate being sad. I hate being negative. And while I may be teased on my over-positivity or need to find a cape emblazoned with “Enjoying the @#!*-ing Small Things,” I too wallow in a bad mood from time to time. However, I’ve found I am quite healed by the Fake It Till You Make It Strategy–searching for the good (and there’s lots to find), writing about the good, taking pictures of the good, talking about the good–basically bathing in the many little things that bring joy to our life until I am no longer faking it, I believe it completely and have allowed the good to rise above the bad in that ever present glass of “Half Full.” Unrealistic? Perhaps, but I don’t think so. Regardless, I’d much rather live life as an unrealistic optimist than a realistic miserable pessimist. It’s so much more fun.”
So well said. This woman, Kelle of Enjoying the Small things may very well be my hero. I just LOVE love that paragraph.
Thanks to Emily for leading me to her blog by chance. I Love the beautiful photos, such lovely writing.
and again, for kicks and a smile
