Rather You See It or Not

Sunrise Jekyll Island - FD Thornton 

Good morning or what's left of it. Just wanted to drop a line and tell you how things are going. After what seems like a week of hot, sticky, rainy, Southern weather; the sun has finally broke through. Day after day of either hot sticky or rainy hot stickier weather can kill a good mood. Needless to say, during this time I've been in a kind of funk, feeling a bit melancholy and it definitely reflected in my writing. But the day began with the sun breaking through and a dry breeze blowing through the house. On top of that, finally got some good news in the mail and got some much needed paperwork completed.  

I suppose I'm irritating you my happy news just to say; be patient with your own situation because it doesn’t last forever. If I've learned anything about darkness it’s that there’s always a dawn. I've learned that emotions can come in like a tide. A smart fisherman or boater watches the tide, and works with it and not against it. The best thing I can tell you now is as the tides of anxiety and emotions roll in. Don't fight them, be patient and work with them. The more you fight against your own self the more it fights back. 

Learn to accept what you see, and in a loving compassionate way work to change the situation. Be proactive and understand that life happens and we screw up. Don't beat yourself to death just because of a mistake and don't curse life just because of a few bad breaks. Live your life being aware that bad things happen and that the sun raises every morning rather you see it or not.
