Have you ever felt as though the world around you was just a bit too overwhelming? I have felt that way a few times, and it was because of circumstances that were out of my control. It is in our nature to try to grasp what is within our reach. It is also the same nature that compels us to try to figure out what is unknown. This year has started off with such great energy and hope, and at times, with what is going on around the world and in our lives we sometimes- just need a break.

It is time that we change the cycle and bring it back to positive thinking and knowing that you are not alone. I sometimes am guilty of feeling helpless, but that only happens when we allow ourselves to feel that way. None of us are perfect, that is what makes us human. A wise friend sent me this by Pink and it just spoke so clearly that I felt compelled to share this with you. It gave me comfort enough to take a deep breath and embrace the goodness that is to come.

Enjoy!

Have you ever fed a lover with just your hands?
Close your eyes and trust it, just trust it
Have you ever thrown a fist full of glitter in the air?
Have you ever looked fear in the face
And said I just don’t care?

It’s only half past the point of no return
The tip of the iceberg, the sun before the burn
The thunder before lightning, the breath before the phrase
Have you ever felt this way?

Have you ever hated yourself for staring at the phone?
Your whole life waiting on the ring to prove you’re not alone?
Have you ever been touched so gently you had to cry?
Have you ever invited a stranger to come inside?

It’s only half past the point of oblivion
The hourglass on the table, the walk before the run
The breath before the kiss and the fear before the flames
Have you ever felt this way?

There you are, sitting in the garden
Clutching my coffee, calling me sugar
You called me sugar

Have you ever wished for an endless night?
Lassoed the moon and the stars and pulled that rope tight?
Have you ever held your breath and asked yourself
Will it ever get better than tonight? Tonight…
