I'm In Need Of Inspiration

I have decided to let go of some things in my life recently, physically, emotionally and mentally. I'm feeling pretty drained from everything going on in my life and my family's lives right now. I have always been the type of person to take on everything. I always felt that doing it all meant success to me. What can I say about that? Looking back on that now, I know that it not only is impossible but so unrealistic. I mean, where did doing everything get me? Stressed out with having heavy burdens on me, that's where. I can no longer rely on just myself to pull me out of the dumps. I KNOW that there is a higher power that really does have control. It's not me, obviously. I wouldn't have laid out this path in life for me. But, I accept it as I'm confident there is a reason for it. However, today the path is foggy and I can't see five feet in front of me.

I'm really not trying to be negative. I'm just down right now. I try not to have too many of these days as I don't want to be stuck in a rut. But on the other hand, I need to have these kind of days so I can work through the emotions of them. I also know that I will get through all of this, as I have been. Being weak is not in my nature.

Today, I'm in need of some inspiration. I found a quote that made me feel good inside, and I think will get me through whatever I'm feeling...at least for today anyway.

Hope is the thing with feathers that perches in the soul.
      - Emily Dickenson

When I was working (outside of the home), I had a manager that had an inspirational quote almost everyday. I loved reading them because it was something I could focus on to get my through the day. It may not have applied to what was happening everyday, but it was something that gave a purpose to the day. The best thing about them, was sharing them with my employees. Inspiration comes in many ways and I loved making it a Team effort.

So, today I am sharing my inspiration with you. I cannot get through this alone. I am hopeful that today will be okay, and tomorrow will be better because I do have faith that my prayers of getting me through my life experiences will float up to God. (Yes, I do pray and yes, I do believe in God.) I leave it in His hands.

Today I have hope. Tomorrow I hope to have happiness.
