Well hello there again WebTraveller!
It’s a brand new day it’s time to get up and get moving. Yeah I know motivation is not always easy, grab some coffee and do something for you today. For me? Well as thr title suggests:
I decided this morning to continue on a “rebuilding” life can sometimes tear you down. Sometimes you don’t realize it from you perspective. Don’t get me started on perspectives. However this song by Republica really resonates with me. Because I am ready to go. I said on the precious post about returning to my roots. This is what I have done. Gone into my past, lots to deal with there, allieviate myself from burdens, thoughts, actions and or what have you. Today as I left the house I went for a wonderful walk. Slowly but surely moving and burning some calories. One of my life long challenges was not always feeling “physically” ok with myself and always conscientious of my weights now from the external me I don’t think it looks that bad, the internal me however days, well the tip of the manhood is disappearing and well I wanna make sure I can see it. The last few weeks I decided to get off my ass head out for a walk or jump on the bicycle and ride a few miles. Here’s a few “views” from today’s adventure:
Sunlight, what a beautiful sight. Of course there is a song that goes along with this view, but first another view:
Now these two photos were taken together and the song “Sunlight” by DJ Sammy was on. Lyrics are a great thing.
“Sunlight, there’s nothing like your warm embrace it feels so right, shining on your sculptured face”
So true feeling the suns warm embrace.
Music has been my therapy for so many years, I never really understood the how’s and whys of it but now I understand it was something I that carried me through a lot of situations in life. The artists meaning of a song might be one thing. Having a personal realtionship with that what has been written is something else. I have been listening to many audiobooks. On many artists that I have followed over the years. What really kinda smacked me in the face is their reality, especially if and artist say, Barbra Streisand or Will Smith read their own work. To hear it and resonate with it, laugh with it, cry with it. Realizing that I am not the only person on the planet that from my internal workings “there’s problems” I have worked through a great many things. I am not mad nor upset with things that “have” happened. Today for me has been a very good day so far. Taking some time to share this with you all feels energizing.
Now I have housework to do to feel another sense of accomplishment, ill be back soon with something else that inspires me to share. I hope and it is my intention to allow my experiences in life to help someone out there who coudl be in a dark place, who may not know that is is OK to NOT be OK, it’s day by day, moment by moment, TRUST me i have been there. If you feel like someone is controlling you, trust your gut feeling, start to take back the control over yourself that you need to feel and do for your own happiness. It takes time, but it can be done. I mean look at me I’m a work in progress everyday.
Don’t ever feel alone, I hear that all to often. Ok yes physically at this moment you could be by yourself, but your not alone, it takes courage to feel pain, it’s weakness to shove it down. That old wives tale for me along with many others that aren’t true. A perspective from the outside I allowed in, i wasn’t aware of it before, now I am aware.
Take care of yourself, do something special for you today, show yourself some self love. Trust me, it’s worth it.
Until next time …. -Phil
