This is Peanut Butter Brickle. You have two choices…every second of the day. To look on the bright side of life. Or to not. It’s really as simple as that.
I know I haven’t been feeling good. But I also have been feeling good. Every day is different.
And when I have learned to accept that, I look on the sunshiney side of things. That I will feel good again. ☀️
You may wonder how I’m so sure of that. I’m not. But I also choose to believe the sunshiney. I choose not to listen to the dark thoughts. I choose the sunshiney side up.
It’s not that I’m lying to myself that I’m not getting older. I’ll be 15 this week. But I can also tell myself that I am here. Now. I try to flip the negativity into positivity. Like an egg. I’ll take that sunshiney side up.
Fruitycake has certainly helped me to be brighter and lighter and carefree. He doesn’t know all the negative things I’ve seen yet. And I don’t want him to. Because he helps me. He grounds me.
He reminds me that life is never to be taken for granted.
In this Florida place, they call it the sunshiney state. Well. I do too. The sun shines most days.
I’m glad I’m here right now. I’m glad I’m here this week. There’s a lot to do. A lot to see.
I know that it’s not always easy to see the sunshiney. Especially when problems that we encounter seem little on the outside. But to us, they are big. But we are also the only ones who can control our thoughts.
So work on finding the sunshiney side up of things. And I will too.
