Trying for Happy

I awoke this morning in a very sad state, and allowed myself some fall-apart time while I waited for my coffee to brew.  Then I decided that I can't stay in this state of mind.  Yes, I need to allow some of it so that I can wash it out of myself and heal.  But I can't stay like this for too long or I will become depressed and then I will be useless to the people who need me.

So I wiped the tears out of my eyes (and tried to chase down the ones rolling into my ears), and got up.  Since then, I've been on Facebook catching up on people who have good news to share, and rejoicing in their triumphs.

And I've been texting with someone very dear to me, who has excellent news which I will be able to share at a later date, but for now it is just between a few close people.  I look forward to the day I get to shout the news to the world.  It will make me very happy.  In the meantime, I will hold it close to me, and remember it every time I feel like being sad.
