I actually woke up in a not so bright mood. I had a conversation with someone last night that bothered me. Not just a casual friend or anything, it was someone I really care about. Instead of holding it in and thinking about it all day and into next week, I brought it up to that person this morning and told them exactly how it made me feel. You know how it turned out? Just fine! Once things got cleared up and I said everything that was weighing on my chest, we were both able to continue the day on a much more positive note! I take things to heart most times, specially when its someone dear to me but at times you just don't want to cause drama or you don't know how to bring it up. In this case I just needed to get it out and be able to move on. If they truly love you unconditionally, they will hear you out and clear any misunderstandings that happened. In this case, it turned out good and reassured me we have a pretty good relationship.
That's a relief! So I did what any normal mother does on a cold snowy winters day....."I LET IT GO!" Got the kids in their winter gear and we headed outside to walk the trails with the dogs. Beautiful scenery with the snow laying over the ground and covering the trees. Peaceful feeling. I'm glad I talked things out instead of letting thoughts linger in my head. Because of that simple action, I was able to show the boys a much better morning! Instead of being inside my head, I was noticing bird nests. Then some of the others started finding bird nests and looking for deer trails. Free falling, landing on our backs to make snow angels. I'm glad we got outside and did the trail walk because I imagine with the mix of snow and rain we are getting, its just wet and heavy outside in the snow now.
Communication is key!��
