Thoughts of a Sprite

Just a quick thought or two...

I have been thinking, and I have come to the conclusion that life really is like the ocean. It is vast, and everchanging. There are hightides, some higher than others, and there are lowtides, again some lower than others. It can be as calm as can be, flat water as far as the eye can see, and in a flash a storm can arise that tosses the angry waters about in a fury. The sandbars can be an unexpected catch, while the undertow can be life threatening sometimes, and at other times the waves are as gentle as the lul of a mothers rocking chair. It is home to so many various creatures, some harmless, and some ferosious.

Life is so very unpredictable. You can be a rock bottom one day, and the next, something happens, the sun comes out and there is once again hope for a calm beautiful sea. It can change in the blink of an eye, and for better or worse, you just have to roll with the waves. Life truly is as fluid as the very blood in our veins.

Change is good, Change will set you free, or drive you mad if you fight it. I have found that rather than fight an aweful undertow, you should float on the surface for a while.

Yesterday is over, so why worry about it? Tommorow has yet to come, but today, today is here, every today is a gift, and this is why they call it the present.

If I have evoked in you any thought at all, then I have achieved my goal, or at least one of them. I am still working on living each day as if it were my last, not stressing the small stuff, trying not to be jaded towards everything that has testosterone, I am still trying to go with the flow and not fight change. It is inevitable. I am still working on quitting, and I think I am doing pretty good. I will always stress my grades, it is my motivation to do better, my drive to strive for the best, and my refusal to settle for anything less. But I don't have to stress the small stuff. What is done is done, I still fight my past, but I think I am winning. I still have nightmares, but they don't seem quite so scary anymore.

I think I would like to learn to be more laid back, perhaps some of the knots in my back would go away... wouldn't that be grand? My goal for now is to roll with the waves, to quit fighting the undertow, and accept the fact that there are ups and downs, and they can happen all in one day, Life is fluid, so I guess it is good that I can swim right? (hehe)

Kay that is all for me for now, I must take my happy butt to bed... Night fellow bloggers.
