Reframe please...

I have attempted several posts in the last hour, all oozing with toxic, unproductive self pity.

I will just say that, I have every desire to go to sleep tonight and wake up when this holiday season has past.

With that out of the way, onto the reframe. I need to remember what have today. I have the opportunity to be a sober woman of worth...a mother, a partner, a friend, a daughter, a sister, a teacher, a sponsor, an artist, a musican, a positive force and productive member of society.

I definitely have to choice to hide away in my house, in the dark, wasting this opportunity. Not today self pity. You are not taking me.

Wise words from Pink...

I love her new song, Raise Your Glass.  I know it's a party it up song, but the message to me is live your life, live it out loud, and have fun. 

I have so learned how to do that in this program.  I think a lot of it can be attributed to becoming honest and finding out who I truly am, allowing myself to have my own dream about what is right for me in my life, and realizing that I really don't have to spend time worrying about other people's judgements of me because I can let them have their dream.  (Four Agreement stuff...outside literature, but one of the most life changing books I have read, outside of the Big Book, of course).

So, the line from the song that inspired this post for me is..You can choose to let it go.  The fear, other people's behavior and judgements, the past, the future, resentments...none of it has to occupy space my mind.  I can surrender it to the universe and get back to my favorite place to be...that space of peace and serenity, where I am happy, joyous, and free!!

Dancing my way into surrender

Handling business,

heading out
to rock this day!!

doing what I can do,

letting my HP handle the rest.

My happy song choice of the night!!!!

Natasha Bedingfield - Unwritten (US Version)

My morning theme song...Don't judge me. It works.

So here's my deep...dark..secret.    Wait for it.    I love teen pop. 

Being a mother of an 8 and a 10 year old, I watch a lot of Nickelodeon.  Not to mention having every episode of spongebob memorized, I also own and rock out to every Miranda Cosgrove (iCarly) and Victoria Cast (Victorious) song.  This song snaps me out of anything.  The message to me...

you are strong.  you are beautiful.  everything is possible.  Now go out and rock this day!
