Happiness is NOT an illusion

For awhile there, as you can tell from my blogs, I was super down and out. It wasn't easy to smile and some days I was unable to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Well, now I am finally out of the tunnel, watching the birds, the deer, enjoying the snow on the ground.

Today, I am happy. I think it has to do with letting go. I finally, without a doubt in my mind, have let go. Let go of the poison, the pollution, the people who make my heart feel sad. I am with me now, strong, silent, loving. I like the me that I am and no one gets to take that away from me anymore. I like Liz, hell, I love Liz. I know it's weird to type that, but for a long time I couldn't even bring myself to think it.

I thank the New Year, the Blue Moon, and my strength. This is a new decade, a new chapter. In this chapter, I shall succeed. I shall smile more. I shall laugh more. I will put my time and energy into those people who I love. Those who deserve my laughter, my spirit, and my love. To all those that beat me down, I will no longer allow people who abuse me to remain in my heart. Not for today... and certainly not for tomorrow.

  2. It's amazing the energy we put out and take... Laughing and really laughing to grab and feel, it is hard to find. But your right it's not an illusion.
    The last few days I have been trying to let go and what I have been drawn to is the cycles that are around us, and how to hold on to the positive and truly let go of the negative. I love how you talk about those who deserve you, and letting go of those who beat down. Another cycle that supports us as a person. But its what we take and how we use it. much luv
