Take a deep breath of goodness.

Every negative  circumstance also contains an opposite, meaning that there will always be some good buried in every seemingly bad situation.  It is up to us to seek positive aspects in every situation and to try to deal with the bad, knowing that if we search enough, we will find the positive aspect or silver lining.  We are confronted daily with a variety of feelings, as a result of experiences we have and depending on how busy we are, very little time exists to stop and contemplate things that affect us on a daily basis.  We go at full speed to get through the traffic and the work load and the cooking and shopping and all to get to bed, so that we can rise again tomorrow to do it all again.  How little time we actually get to spend on the impact of those choices and decisions we make daily and which go a long way, to determining our future.  We know and feel so much more than we think on a daily basis and we just sometimes need to find a quiet place, to give an opportunity for our heart to talk, so that our mind can listen.  We need important people in our lives that can help us to de-clutter in a positive and expedient manner.  Instead of needing many friends a few with less bullsh$# can go a long way to a happy life.  Even though you may not know it, you could be a part of a puzzle in someones life and their life (even though you cant see it) may never be complete, if you are not in it. Some of my own regrets come not from the past per se, but rather the time I wasted with the wrong people.  How much more value a life has, when we exercise good judgement, manage the negative things circulating in our lives and cherish the special and good things we are sure to find in any day. As we head into a weekend where we are sure to be surrounded with things to do and decisions to be made, spend the time wisely and don't be afraid to vent to those that make a difference in our lives.  Don't underestimate the value of a few moments of quiet and reflection and make enough time to absorb good advice, special moments and a whole lot of quality breaths.
