When you think about it, life is made up of constant ebbs and flows. By definition, an ebb and flow is arecurrent or rhythmical pattern of coming and going or decline and regrowth. And life is just that. There are moments of the highest highs, moments of the lowest lows, and then those mediocre, average moments in between.

As I’ve gotten older (and I like to think wiser, as well) I really pay attention to my own ebbs and flows. And when I’m ‘ebbing’ out, I just let it pass by. I do what I need to get through it, and remind myself that it’s temporary. TEMPORARY. And when I’m ‘flowing’ I ride that wave and enjoy every single drop of the joy and the happy. Because, again, that’s also temporary.

Day to day I’m a happy girl. I try to stay as positive as humanly possible because, hey guess what, being negative takes up SO much damn energy, so why bother?! While I am, overall, happy, I still have my moments. Oh I sure do. I have moments where I want to be anti social and just hang out on my couch alone, and when those moments come, I make the best of it, I remind myself that this is TEMPORARY and nothing is wrong with feeling this way. And soon enough, I’m back into my groove…my FLOW.
Something else I remind myself of is that the ebbs are necessary to REALLY AND TRULY appreciate the flows. Take the good with the bad, smiles with the sad, and just keep on keepin’ on, friends. HUGS.
