Unexplainable Joy

Remember that Simpsons episode where Ned Flanders sons are singing that song:

I got that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart

Where?

Down in my heart

Down in my heart

I got that joy, joy, joy, joy

Down in my heart

Down in my heart

To Stay

And if the devil doesn’t like it

He can sit on a tack

Ow!

Sit on a tack

Ow!

Sit on a tack

Ow!



Ha, ha ha ha…

I don’t know for some reason today I am feeling extremely giddy. You ever have one of those days where you’re just laughing and smiling and everything just looks so pretty to you? You check your cup to make sure no one slipped anything into your kool-aid. You look in the mirror and think, “Damn girl you are so georgeous, with yo bald-headed self!” You think about your friends and you just want to call them all and say, “Aww baby I love you!”

You look at your kids and you just want to take a big ol bite out of them cuz they’re so cute and cuddly and even your annoying lil sista gets a hug.

~sigh

Today is one of those days.

I should be stressing because I haven’t had a chance to write ANYTHING in my novel all weekend long and I am so far behind in my word count it’s ridiculous.

I should be stressing cuz a sista still ain’t found no job. But on the real, I feel like I’m on vacation and I’m loving it!

Right now it feels like it’s the night before Christmas, the first day of school and my birthday all rolled in one! Wow! I feel like something special is about to happen. Or maybe it already has. Maybe it’s just my choice to stop being so down and accept where I am and rejoice in the decisions that I have made in my life.

The mere fact that I made a choice for myself and stuck to it regardless of popular opinion shows I am offically a grown up and I am the captain of my life.

Look at around at your situation and take inventory. Even if it’s a mess, it’s YOUR mess and it’s YOUR life and YOU made the decisions that got you there. If you followed your heart and did what you thought was best and things don’t seem to be going the way you planned them it’s not completely a loss cuz you did a very grown up thing; you took a risk.

None of the world changers ever made their mark by doing what was expected of them. At some point everyone is going to go against the grain.

I am soo happy right now! What a blessing in itself!

I hope some of my joy rubs off on you…

Laced with oodles of hugs and kisses,

Ms. Tee
