Ready to fly away...I want to be free!

I seem to be in this increasingly depressing funk as of lately. You think I would be riding high off of the inauguration of President Obama. But I'm not. I am still trying to navigate around the economies pressing reins of debt and more debt. Leaving me feeling stressed out and depleted of all creative energy.

I really have been focusing on the wrong things in my life. All the negative things are prominently front and center in my mind. I began to think about the bills that continue to pile up and the unfinished writing projects on my desk and I get overwhelmed thinking of it all. Being a mom, a wife and having two boys who all need me and then I need to write and fulfill my own personal goals can be very nerve racking and utterly hopeless.

I assume that I am not alone in my pessimistic outlook on my life. Since most people are feeing the crunch with the economic climate. I need to just focus on the good things and let the pressure of everything fall to the side. I was reading someones blog today and it really inspired me. He was saying that he decided to stop being stressed about things that happen in his life and instead he would just be present. Being present in the moments that are good and bad. And the outcome of his positive outlook and just being present in situations. He found that he noticed his mood changing and he was happy and content.

I want to be happy and content no matter what happens in or around my life.(because you know other people's attitudes and opinions can affect you indirectly)

I want to be free of all of that. Free of being concerned about what people think. Free to be me no matter what anyone says. Free to write and to write what I want and to finish projects. Free to grow and change without questions. Now that is what I call growth. I'm ready to be present and to be overcome with happiness...
