Part of the system?

It's funny how over time we become that cog in the wheel. We don't even see it happening. One day we realize we are just one little moving piece that helps keep other pieces moving. It's not like anyone CAN'T move without us, we have just become part of the system...good or bad we are part of the rhythm that is everyday life.

Sometimes that's good, sometimes you have to step back and wonder, is this really where I want to be? Is this really what I want to spend my time on? Days like today, when the weather is all dark and gloomy actually inspire me more than sunny bright days. I like these days because I feel like they allow you to FEEL something. They let my insides come out to play.

The Universe had this waiting for me:

What if funky, confusing, gray, lonely days were just part of a "system" that, in turn, created bright, rich, happy, friendly days? What if they were just meant to give deeper elements of your creativity a rest? What if they were deliberately crafted holidays, of a sort, devised by your inner psyche to relieve you from the pressure of artificial expectations?

Would you still bemoan them, wonder what's wrong with you, or fear that they'll never end? Or would they kind of tickle you pink?

You party animal, you -

Makes you think.....what if the days your feeling out of sorts or feeling like you can't go on because it all seems like it's too much was really an attempt to get you to see the happier, better, more wonderful things in your life and to really appreciate and value them.

What if they are designed to take the pressure off constantly being happy and excited and crazy thrilled with all parts of life...because that could be really exhausting as well. If you never had the balance, the ying with the yang, you wouldn't appreciate things. Right? Isn't that the whole point of being human...taking the good and the bad and surrounding yourself with people and things that allow you to ride this roller coaster without falling out?

So remain seated, keep your hands in at all times and enjoy the ride.
