0000 N Emotional Ave.. Vacancies!

My emotions were all over the place today...well not all over the place - just in one place - the toilet. this toilet needed a serious flush or one of those blue rings that keeps it fresh and clean..or maybe just need a new toilet all together. Whatever the case...it was bad.  

I was so down all day and feeling so empty and powerless, when I got off work, I got on the train and prayed to Jehovah for help. Then I went on Twitter to see what my favorite blog/tweeter TDL had to say. Interestingly, today's blog was about emotions...it put a new perspective on my issue(s)  "Emotions are your internal feedback to the quality of choices you are making about the events of your life. Give your life a disempowering meaning and you will experience negative emotions; give your life an empowering meaning and you will begin to experience greater and greater positive emotions."

I had to evaluate the choices I've made over the past few days / weeks and examine why I feeling like a used toilet liner. And subsequently I had a few revelations and made a few silent promises / commitments to live better and make sounder decisions.

So the end of the matter is this... though I'm feeling a little emotionally empty or vacant, I now see it as an opportunity to fill the vacancy with better choices and live in a constant state of positivity, productivity and self-acceptance. Mantra for the week...I am 100% self approved (#TDL)
