On being emotionless

Excitement that is built over a gradual period of time has been killed and buried immediately with just a shrug or cold shoulder...

in seconds... the passion and excitement that i have felt came to a halt with no reciprocation from the other one concerned! Such a bummer, waste of energy and mental space.

Now, i've passed onto the emotion-less boat.. in a very quick span of time! Need a break &

Yay it's Friday again!

I'll Be Happy When...

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren't old enough and we'll be more content when they are. After that, we're frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, when we are able to go on a nice vacation or when we retire. The truth is there's no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges.

It's best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway.

Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have and treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time with ... and remember that time waits for no one.

So, stop waiting ... Until your car or home is paid off.
Until you get a new car or home.
Until your kids leave the house.
Until you go back to school.
Until you finish school.
Until you lose 10 lbs.
Until you gain 10 lbs.
Until you get married.
Until you get a divorce.
Until you have kids.
Until you retire.
Until summer.
Until spring.
Until winter.
Until fall.
Until you die. There is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. So work like you don't need money, love like you've never been hurt, and, dance like no one's watching.

------------I received this article as one of those forwards, can't remember by whom or who the original author was. But I found it to be very very true of us humans, at some point or another. Some of us have come out of it yet some of us are still trapped in this "i'll be happy when.... " syndrome.

So, if you are reading this, can you testify if you have honestly broken free from this syndrome or share if you are really waiting for something to happen in order to be happy?
