I'm staring at the screen wondering what to write. I don't have thoughts pouring from my brain begging to be written down. Maybe its because its just a nice day and I've been smiling and laughing a lot lately.
Strangely I think the deepest thoughts come from a heart that is troubled and its trying to sort its self out. Then I write freely letting my wanderings flow out and hope no one minds reading the thoughts of a girl who is not having a very good day.
Sometimes I feel dependant on the days that are good. They give me the power to laugh and go through life with a smile. As much as I am grateful for the days I can laugh I feel it is necessary to not be tied to them. Unfortunately your hilarious friends and family will not always be readily available and sometimes it just will not be funny when you spill flour all over the kitchen.
Sometimes you have to be alone and face the fact that you are having a not so lovely day and no one is around to distract you from it.
And in the words of another "what is the first thing you will use to fix that bad day"? Chocolate, a good book perhaps, maybe a good TV show, your favorite exercise maybe?
Everyone needs to know what will help them relax and get them away from the edge of the pit of despair.
Just maybe though would it not be wise to first reach for the Word of God and refresh yourself in a time of reading and prayer before reaching for your smart phone to see how all your Facebook friends are doing? Oops did I just say facebook I meant to say the uh phone book because I don't want this post to be too much like a pointed finger...at myself.
I drink up those times of laughter and wish I could put them in a bottle to have whenever I wish, but I can read my Bible whenever I wish. I wonder though if I read it often as I should instead digging through those chocolates...
Just some random thoughts prompted by times with my silly friends and deep times with my small group at church.
