I left the office yesterday humming “Zip-da-dee-do-da….” and feeling as if my feet barely touched the ground.  Nothing spectacular had happened. In fact there were a couple of incidents that previously would’ve, at best, irritated me but more likely put me in tears. Yesterday they were just source for amusement.  I don’t know if it was the sweet text message received from Jon or the chats we’d had. Maybe it was the sunshine or that I’m back to mostly “clean” eating or that I’ve actually slept well for a few nights. Most likely it was a combination of all of the above.  But I left the office humming and stopping just shy of skipping to the car.

But by the time I was actually IN the car, I was already pulling myself up short. “These moods never last” I told myself. “You know you’re going to crash and it’s going to be worse for this ‘high’. Transmission’s going to drop from under the car or half your shoes will sponateously combust or you’ll get notice that you owe someone your next two years worth of salaries (oh wait…that’s called student loans…)”

And then I made the conscious choice to stop that train of thought and just ENJOY the day. No, I can’t stay on such a “high” all the time.  Yes, a piano will probably fall on my head sometime later this week. But just as the highs are fleeting, so are the lows.  The sun is out today and I am immensely blessed. I think maybe I’ll just keep humming to Mr. Bluebird a little longer.
