Be Happy...

For the dumbest of reasons, I could have been the spokesperson for Zoloft the way I've been acting lately. (FYI: I'm not on that stuff! LOL)

When I first started blogging, I hoped to use this as an outlet for my thoughts, so that I won't think myself into a headache. Every now and then, my thoughts would leave an impression on a reader, which is what I aim to do. It's another thing, however, to pump out advice on here and not follow it myself. I have made a habit out of "smiling in public & crying in private", so to speak, only to surprise folk when it all falls down. Truth be told, my moods are mostly self-inflicted. It's my own fault for choosing to hang my head low. I won't even get into how many people wanna BOP me upside my head for not getting it together...

All in all, I just need to be happy. I've thought for a while that being committed to someone would solve my issues of being happy. Of course, a friend of mine today corrected me quickly: "how can you love someone else (or expect someone else to love you) when you don't love yourself?" Now surely, I love myself; can't say I have been acting like it though. If the name of my blog is any indication, I'm one to believe that how I think dictates how I act:

"And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise." - Phillipians 4:8

That being said, let me think of a few things that really make me happy!

1. The Father! Get you some...LOL but for real, when I give Him the time He deserves, I'm the happiest man alive...hmm...

2. Family! You can't pick em, but I still love em!

3. Food! Speaking of which, I'm hongry. Bout to make some cajun catfish...

Just a thought, think happy, be happy...that is all! ;-)
