Sometimes it's just easy to find those joy filled moments that make your heart just want to burst right open and share it with everyone. Sometimes it seems that those moments of happiness are randomly strewn around everywhere, just waiting for you to scoop them up and hold them close. They blow in the breeze and come curling into your heart and sit there a spell for you to enjoy and ponder.
Other times, joy is harder to find. You have to really go searching for it. You really have to dig deep to keep the dark clouds from covering you up so that there is no light to find the joy. Other times, joy is elusive. You see it, dangling there right in front of you. And you. . . desperate to grab on to it, reach out only to find it just a little out of reach. Sometimes you see the joy others have and are convinced you will never have it. You are convinced that joy will never be yours.
As someone who struggles with depression, anxiety, panic - these are all thoughts and feelings that I have experienced. And quite truthfully - sometimes all in one day. Sometimes life can feel like a yo yo that is at it's highest unfurled end, swinging through the air without a care in the world - able to see all the goodness around - and yet within the next moment, life is completely wound so tight, it almost sucks the breath right out of you.
These past couple of weeks, I have experienced both of those highs and lows. Thankfully these past couple of weeks there HAVE been more moments of joy, than not. So I thought that rather share with you how to get past the dark moments, how to claw your way up to see the light, I thought I would simply share my light moments with you. The moments that brought joy to my life these last couple of weeks.
