My ride home was filled with bumper to bumper traffic, so I had all the time in the world to recap the emotional day. Not good. I felt myself getting upset and everything I was holding in started brimming to the top. I had let little things... actually a LOT of little (and aggravating) things get the best of me. A few moderate stressors fell into the mix, as well. Narly traffic the entire way home was the topper.
I thought, how are you gonna find your "joy moment" in this day? I had no idea. I couldn't fake the funk... and never would. An hour and a half later, I was finally home but my mood wasn't much better.
So I went in my room, got comfortable, and kept it completely silent to really reflect on my day. I thought about what I could've done differently to make it a better day. Even though I couldn't control the things that happened, I could control how I reacted to them. I needed to remember that. Then I prayed. I prayed for future strength, courage and wisdom in all that I said and did. And then, I let it go... for real this time. God's got it, I thought, 'nuff said. Did I feel better? Yes. Was I joyous... I wouldn't have described it that way but I definitely felt back on track. A little house cleaning is necessary and always a good thing.
Stay Tuned. :-)
