A few days ago, I felt really sad. Was disappointed by a certain situation, by a certain someone. Although I know that he had no intention of disappointing me, he did. And the thing was, I couldn't say anything about it. Because I knew. His situation. It was the reason I didn't want to go out with him in the first place. Because I knew I'd like him. But I also knew, I would never really like his situation. You know, all those strikes, remember?
So, although I knew all of that going in, I still felt down when it didn't quite go the way I had hoped. But, like I said, it's amazing what a change of focus does ... and how stepping back helps us regain footing, and the perspective (the clarity) that was lost ... for a short while during the fall.
I am happy again. Because I know that everything happens for a reason. And this weekend, seeing and spending time with the people who matter, who I cherish and hold so dearly, really makes that little heartache seem not-so-bad at all. And like I've said many times before, it's important to recognize the things that make us smile. Because those are the things that make life beautiful. However, I do also believe that heartache is important. Without them, it's easy to take for granted those things (and those people) we love ... and bring a smile to our faces.
Here's to celebrating the things that make us smile ...
