If I had a dollar for every time I've heard the phrase, "Don't let anyone steal your joy," I would have quite a few dollars by now. :) Really though, it's become cliche'. Whenever someone gets on your nerves that's guaranteed to be one of the first canned responses you'll get. Well, I had a 'moment' this morning. The past couple days I've been on Cloud Nine for no apparent reason. Today started off similarly. I was late getting out of the house but it didn't phase me; I still felt good. It's amazing, though, how just a few words can cause your attitude to flip. I no longer had that free, happy go lucky feeling. Instead I was mulling over the words and what they meant, who said them and who heard them.

I've been a good mood the past couple of days. Not sure why though. Maybe it's the slight reprieve from financial stress. Maybe it's because I feel cute. Could be in part due to the jump-up music I listened to on the way to work. Or it might be a result of all the love that's been floating around. I feel like I have a positive outlook today. There is still so much to do, to plan, to get in motion, and that can be overwhelming at times, but for today at least I feel like I can handle it. Bring it on! :)
