It’s okay to be sad sometimes.

N. Cardoso (Inspired by a thought from Tony Bovi.)

I must confess, I have those crazy periods when I am down, depressed, miserable, wanting to be alone, and sad. Most of the time, there is no apparent reason for it. I am just sad, melancholic, missing something that I can’t quite explain…I know, it sounds crazy.

Gray and rainy days usually have this effect on me. I believe we all deserve to feel like that once in a while. I believe it’s part of the scale of happiness, and part of a balanced life.

I heard it’s healthy. I also know I am the one who gets myself out of this funk, and puts me on the path of happiness over again. If I had to depend on others to do this, I would never be happy. Knowing that gives me comfort to feel down sometimes, because I know exactly where my happiness comes from, I know how to tap into the fountain that makes me whole again, it lays right here, inside of me. I only look to others to feed on their positivity. This is called helping each other, novel thought, huh?

Have a fantastic day and remember, it is certain that we will all, without an exception, have down days…only you can control the down times, only you have the power to decide how long or how short they will be.

When they come, be generous, be patient, be understanding, be forgiving, be gentle with yourself. Remember that after each storm, each rainy day there will always be a sunny and bright sky waiting for you.

“As you get older you find out that true happiness is not in how much you make or how many degrees you have or how big your house is or how fancy your car is. It’s finding peace and joy and a calmness in your life that will soon become the most important thing to you. Your family is what matters to you. Things that are of quality not of quantity. — Unknown”
