Honestly, I am not sure what kind of change my blog would make in your world, in our world. I guess if I can make you feel better because of a post of mine, then I am super happy.
Writing this blog has given me personally so much and has made a big change in my world already. I feel like I achieve something and I share this achievement with you.
I want to let you know, that we all struggle, that we all have our ups and downs. I decided not to share my downs with you. Not because I don’t want to share it with you or because I think you are not close enough or not worth it. Simply because I believe in a positive attitude. Yes, I ramble. My “down moments” though will be all mine. As I want to move forward and want to stay positive and I know you have your downs. So why put more weight out there instead of trying to lift it in staying positive?
If it helps you, if it makes a change for you, if it takes only as much as a single gram off your shoulder, then I have achieved a lot. And by doing so, I have definitely made my day better.
I believe that you are in charge of your life, that you can decide if you want to live a happy life or not. There are tons of things we can not influence really, but what we can always control is our take on it. And my take on a difficult situation is “Fuck this shit and move on!”
All the issues we struggle with, the things that pull us down, can only pull us down as long as we let it happen. Look at it, acknowledge it and then use it to move on, to make the best out of it and make the next step.
Sometimes it is harder, sometimes it is easier. I am not saying it is always a smooth ride. Hell no! I for sure know well enough that it is not. But we have power to decide if we want to make it harder on us or easier.
Well, that is what I believe. So if I have provoked a thought or two with this, then I probably already have made a little change in someone’s world. And that thought just made me smile a little bit brighter 😉
Have a beautiful (rest of this) day everyone!

I agree with every single word. And yes, you definitely can cause a change with your blog. You are another person that goes for her conviction and therefor creates her life and takes responsibility for her life. This encourages others to do the same. 😀

Agree! Same underlying thought of my blog. Life’s too short to focus on (and blog about) the negative. Glad to find a blog that resonates with my belief.

Thank you! Love the Luminaries! We met them a bit over ayear ago and they were super awesome especially with the kids. And then they gave my son their most recent CD. He was over the moon. Love the message in their songs.

Must admit, it’s the first time that I’ve heard of them, haha! I do really like this tune in particular, and the lyrics.

I’m glad I saw this today. As I am going through a nasty period of anxiety at the moment, it is a little difficult to try and be positive, However, you are so right, we all have our downs and there is enough sadness out there already without adding to it. You write many inspiring posts and your blog does make a difference, thank you 🙂

You definitely provoked a thought or two in me with your post… I like your attitude, the fact that you decided to keep your blog positive. It does makes sense to me, because I often think I am letting too much negativity in my writing and it may not be good… lovely post

Thank you so much. I guess it’s not always easy to stay positive and I need my little rant posts every now and then too…
