What's this? An update?
No, the world isn't coming to an end. Let us say instead, that certain life experiences have made a reluctant blogger realize that sharing one's story may help someone else who is struggling to stay afloat and that it will certainly help me along the path to living a happier life.
What is happiness? For me it is being in a state of positive peace, free from anxiety and fear and filled with delightful purpose. Happiness is on the sunny side of the being at peace spectrum, a state that is finite, but unbelievably enjoyable. Lately, I've found myself on the "meh" side, being neither very upset nor deliriously happy, rather somewhere slightly off center where I just am.
This is not where I would like to be. Nope. Not a bit.
Life is a blessing, a feast of experiences or the soul and for the senses.
There's no time to be lolly-gagging left off center, no reason to look at a brand new day with a lackluster, slack-jawed gaze. It is as found in Romans, a high time to awake, cast off the darkness and put on the armor of light.
This is why I am writing again on this blog, to try and chronicle my attempt at getting back to center and ridding myself of this meddlesome emotional mediocrity. I owe it to my friends and family.
I owe it to myself.
I am determined to be cheerful and happy in whatever situation I may find myself. For I have learned that the greater part of our misery or unhappiness is determined not by our circumstance but by our disposition.
