Because I'm Happy

Have you ever been so happy about nothing and everything at the same time? I feel like that's me right now at this is particular point in life. I could totally clap along because I feel like a "room without a roof." Some of my happy is because i'm deliriously tired and some of it is because for the first time in a long time my "full plate" doesn't feel so full. I have more money coming in than going out, I'm taking care of things that I've avoided taking care of and I feel really loved in every area of my life. I'm almost "too happy". As a writer who loves to nit pick , this amount of joy is almost a hindrance. I have no crazy scenarios to elaborate on and If someone did something super annoying in the last few weeks, I barely gave it attention. The one thing about being gleeful is that it is easy to spot an unhappy person. Ya'll, they're everywhere!!! First of all, its officially fall. Bath and body works has three wick candles that smell like pumpkin spice. There is no way anyone should be unhappy with the smell of pumpkin in the air yet, even with the first leaves falling, the premier of Blackish right around the corner and Steve Madden satisfying everyone's boot needs, folks are still out here taking a major dump on all these wonderful things that make the next three months lit AF! I get it...The year is coming to a close and many people are in the process of trying to accomplish all of the goals that they set for themselves in January but newsflash babe..Its holiday season. Get into the holiday spirit, believe that things will work out for the best and fa-la-la-la-la your way into the new year. I was once a negative Nancy during the holiday season. I went through something pretty traumatic in November of 2009 (i'll save that story for a later blog) so the moment that people started stringing lights, I would get into an awful, depressing mood. Two years ago I made a conscious effort to remove those "I hate the holidays" thoughts and I became a Ho-Ho-Ho loving, crazy sock wearing, Hocus Pocus watching, cornbread stuffing eating, October 1st- January 1st smiling, happy, little freak. This year is special because thus far, it has proven to be one of the most positive years of my adult life. I've accomplished a lot and this blog has kept me creative and looking forward to sharing my life with the few people that take the time out to read it. I think it is really important to focus on the things that have gone right. All too often we as humans focus on the "right now" things that are causing us to be frustrated. I'm sure that every single person on the planet has had something great happen to them in the past 10 months. Smile about those things because there are more good things to come. This cheery mood of mine only last for these three months so don't check out on me yet. By February I'm positive that I will be back to complaining about traffic, pot luck, and annoying co-workers but as of now enjoy this overly happy Chas!!
