Out of the Dark, Into the Light

I started to call this post "After the Rain", but all I kept hearing was that song by Nelson. Ahhh, Nelson. I saw the twins twice in concert. Hey, cut me some slack. I was fifteen.

Anyhoo, the last couple days - or you could even say weeks (or year and a half for that matter) - I've had the shit kicked out of me. So much so that I was milling through my past to figure out what I could've possibly done to deserve such karmic retribution. I came up with one, but perhaps that's just me being extremely critical and hard on myself. So I've come up with another reason: negativity breeds negativity.

I don't believe in much, but one thing I do believe in is energy. One of the reasons I believe I lead a (fairly) charmed life is by keeping things positive, but sometimes it's hard to just roll with punches when I keep getting beat down. And the more I get mired down in the bullshit, the more I notice that bullshit is slung in my direction. I feel like I keep getting up on my knees and before I can stand all the way up, I get knocked back down. Til today.

Today things got set right. So I'm gonna ride this wave, and keep it flowing. I'm going to take this opportunity to fix some things that need fixin', and set the positive energy back in motion.

Yeah, maybe it sounds a litte hokey and new-agey, but it works for me. So that's what I'm gonna do. Good thoughts and energy are always welcome, too, so if you've got any to spare, send some my way.

I'll start by sending some good energy your way: check out this gorgeous stuff by Sheila.
