The Feel Good Revolution

I took a long nap on Wednesday night. I fell asleep at 8:30 and figured I could sleep through the night, but I ended up waking up around 11. I wanted to sleep, but I just wasn't that tired anymore. So, I poured myself a large glass of white wine and sat out in my frontyard.

I sat there. I sat in my underwear and stared at the moon, sipping on my wine. The whole sky was empty. There where few stars scattered about, and I wasn't sure if I should be appreciative, or disappointed. And there it was-- CHOICE. I could take in the moment, or be bummed...

Right now, I'm all about making the choice of being happy, or sad. And I'm choosing to LIVE, and in order to live, I need to be happy. Life was right there. Life was there sitting in my underwear without a care in the world. Life was the wind blowing through my hair, and grazing my bare legs. Life was my glass of wine that sat in my hand. Life was me feeling confident. Life was the grass beneath me. Life was that moon, even though I can't look at it the same as I used to.

I felt pleasure in such meaningless things, and that's what life is about-- enjoying the small things. There are so many things I cannot control, but right then, I was in control. I made the decision to control my choices in those small moments that made a butterfly effect into my moment now.

Life has so much to offer, and if I take it in, I, too, have a lot to offer.

Right now, it's about me building the confidence in myself... Appreciating my mind, who I really am, and embracing my body. Part of loving myself is sitting around in my underwear, and walking around the house in them. It's all part of forming the BETTERED version of me, because I guess I've never stopped being me.

I'm living. And I'm living in confidence. And living in my underwear.
