You keep us going on

You keep us fighting long after the fire.

I know it's only Tuesday, but I haven't been having the best week. I guess it just ain't my week. That may be an understatement. Not only have I been extremely unhappy/tired/grouchy, but I have been showing it outwardly more than I often do. Usually I try to make the best of things, but these past couple of days I've found myself being rude to people and just being in a weird mood altogether. I do feel badly about this. I'm gonna try to be better for the remainder of the week.

I often get to the point where I just have to blatantly refuse to let circumstances or the evil powers that be get me down. I just can't. What on earth am I going to do from the ground? Certain things usually jolt me out of my funk. Like after I went and watched Harry Potter for the second time....just earlier today. It's like inspiration being injected into my body through an IV.

Let me just sidebar for a moment:  I know that I'm a little obsessive over HP...but the story has really touched me in a way that few stories have. It has given me insight to things unknown and it has given me hope and inspiration....and joy (And of course, if you were to ask me, I'd tell you all about it). I just love it. I really believe that everyone needs a story like this in their life... to help them figure things out... and jolt them out of funks :)
Sidebar over.

When I left the theater, I felt as if I wished that my heart could momentarily take human form , jump out of my body and just hug everyone in my vicinity (only because I think people might freak out and...really just be a little grossed out if a life-sized, nasty looking organ ran up to them and tried to hug them!). Then I got home to find out that the showerhead that I just bought won't work on my shower...and then I practically showered myself in Spaghetti-os (not even kidding)! And so my inspirational high was a bit short-lived. But I got over those things in a short bit and I'm just feeling very thankful for the things in my life that DO go right.

I'm really starting to understand what "they" mean by "life is a daily struggle" or what not. It really can be. I see that now.

So there's a little sneak peek into my life...whether you wanted it or not.

Now I'm gonna go read. I love getting so into a book that you wish you could just be reading it all the time! Yipeeeeeee!
