simply let it go

Yesterday (Monday) I woke up in a terrible mood with a bad attitude. I was crushed by the feeling because I try so hard to let everything go. I really focus on being positive and keeping any stress out of my life. It was from a build up of being frustrated by things such as projects, summer plans, and to just lay it all out there unhappy feelings still come around from the breakup... and of course I had an 8 a.m. class to top it off! Our class was scheduled to go to the Reiman Gardens (a serene place full of gorgeous flowers/plants). I was really not in the mood, however once we got there and we started talking about what we were going to do (which was take pictures.. love it!) I started to cheer up a bit. Once I started taking the pictures and looking closely at the beautiful nature around me I realized that my stress/worry was slowly slipping away. I was back to the happy/positive me. As simple as it is I am thankful for that experience that made all the things that don't need to matter go away. I am planning to go back to the Gardens just to take in the beautiful view and relax...maybe read a book?? If you have any sort of place like this near you I suggest going there and letting the worries of life slip away.
