Tuesday was Part 1 of these two part posts. That was the day I talked about a small thing that irritated me and probably shouldn't have. Today I'm going to talk about a small thing that makes me happy even though it's silly to get so excited about it.
For years, I've always worn black. I like black and it's practical for my job. Need to go to the hangar for something without warning? I'm dressed for it. But I didn't realize how stuck in my rut I had become until I bought something in teal. It was on sale!
Seriously, every time I see the teal color, I smile and feel more lighthearted.
It's ridiculous. Really. I mean what difference does it make? And yet it does make me happy and I look forward to teal days. I think this means it's time buy more colors and get away from black.
Even though it's silly, I also think that life is about small pleasures and we should seek these things out. Attitude makes such a difference and if something can improve one's mood, I say go for it. Going through life, always looking on the bleak side or always creating drama is a tough way to live and, sadly, the people who do this don't even realize they're guilty of it. We create our reality and our reactions to events in life--big or small--affect our mood. And our general happiness.
So even though I posted on Tuesday about something that put my mood on a nosedive, I'm working to not let it bother me. It still is, but I'm working on it. ;-)
Life is tough. I don't want to make it any harder than it already is. It's in the attitude.
