aligning doubt

Today is a beautiful day. I am thrilled to be up, running, and back on the blogosphere. I’ve been bogged down with an unexpected illness since my last entry which has been very straining on my mental state, but I’ve managed to recoup myself from the monotonous environment since the weekend. Even though I’ve been through this drill in its many forms, I never seem to fully caution myself from implanting bad seeds. It all starts with these innate urges that trigger negativity and self-doubt within. But how does one find light and redemption amid the darkness when you’re hopeless and falling?

Find your saving grace. In my case, I took two days of silence during the weekend to center myself and realign everything that was/is precious to my heart. Silence and solitude are truly the most powerful tools, and if used right, can almost always bring about everlasting results on the soul. I still worry about how much time I spend thinking about all that is wrong in my life. But on a day like today, a day of universal love, I took a step back thanks to a wonderful message from my parents this morning, and took a moment to realize my surroundings; the heavenly group of people who believe, love and support me through my life. And this was when I noticed that I had failed to realize the last couple of weeks just how lucky I am to live in an atmosphere full of love. This realization quickly diminished any doubt and sadness I had left within me and I hope to practice this new-found attainment as long as I can.

Happy Valentines Day Hi.Lite.Headers!
