Down With The Happy Killers!!!!

     Today I have taken a small yet powerful step for the sake of my happiness.  There has been a certain aspect of my life (I won't go into detail because talking about it would just cause me to dwell on it again, which is counter productive) that has been causing me great stress and sadness where it wasn't even the slightest bit necessary.  So what did I do?  I made it to where I never have to see or hear it again.  I know it sounds simple and obvious, but for most people, its oddly hard to finally cut the thing that's poisoning your life out of it. 

     There are always going to be things and people in this world that will try and make you think you don't deserve to be happy or try to bring themselves up by tearing you down.  And while you know in your heart that these things/people are irrelevant, it doesn't keep the negativity from seeping in a little at times.  Well today I took a stand and said to myself "I deserve to be happy, and the only people who have to be happy or comfortable with the way I am and my choices in life are me, my husband, and my children.  The rest can either get with the program or kick rocks." 

     I am me.  Yes, I still have a lot of learning and growing to do and I have bad days just like everybody else, but that doesn't make me any worse or better than the next person.  I won't sit and compare my life to other people, because their priorities are probably different.  My priorities are healthy happy kids and a healthy happy marriage, and all the basics that go along with those (shelter, food, etc.).  Everything else is secondary for me. 

     I know this blog might sound preachy, and hell, maybe it is.  I just want whoever reads this to know that, no matter what negativity gets thrown your way, you deserve to be happy.  If you're a good person who doesn't go out of your way to hurt others and you take care of the things that are important to you and your life, then to hell with the rest.  If people/things in your life are making you feel down about you or your life, get rid of them quickly!  That's their misery and it doesn't have to be yours.  Be happy!!!!!
