Ray of Sunshine

Some days I feel as though life is at a stand still. That there are all types of things going on around me and I just cant seem to catch on to any of it. Kind of like I keep getting stuck at all the red lights. Or like the tickets run out right when I get to the front to buy one. Does that make any sense?

I got stopped today while I was pumping gas and this complete stranger told me that I looked really fun. That, because I was laughing at a hilarious text message, that I was going to have a good day. That he wished he had someone like me, to bring light into his day, everyday. Nice huh?

I really, couldn't help but laugh, because I mostly feel like the little grey rain cloud that follows people around, and here was this complete stranger that said I was rather a ray of sunshine. Really?

I don't know if its the lack of spontaneity that is missing. Or perhaps the feeling of always being inadequate. Whoa, I bet you didn't know you were signing up for my own personal therapy session...

I guess I just feel that I am not living the life I signed up for. Everyone has pitfalls, road blocks, diversions. I guess I am just in need of something new. If I wasn't totally against it at the moment, this is where I would usually insert a new daring haircut.

So I am ready world.. bring it on.. something new. Something engaging and excited. Bring. It.

You're a ray of sunshine in my life, Mae! I'll bet there are several other people who would concur... especially Jack, if only he knew what 'concur' meant! I'm sorry you're feeling blah. You've been working so hard towards a great future for you and Jackson that there is little time to enjoy the now. You're doing a wonderful job as a mother and as a person! Much love to you...
