Puke in a Front-load Washer: How Will Your Life Change Today?
EMAIL THIS ARTICLE 
Each part of your life affects another part; it’s all interconnected. What you do today will have bearing on what happens to you tomorrow.
That statement sounds dire and scary, but it may not be cataclysmic.
You may barely even notice the ripple that yesterday’s off-hand comment caused in today’s conversation. Or how that small act of kindness last week changed a person’s life this week.
But it’s there.
And don’t let anyone tell you any different.
Actions, reactions, all that. Good or bad.
The lesson: listen to your life and keep a watchful eye. This week’s obsessive love of mac and cheese for every meal (**raises hand**) means something for next week. Today’s brash confidence means the crazy idea it begets takes off tomorrow…and also awakens a certain Inner Critic Zombie. That hour today that you pushed beyond your comfort zone will reap rewards, well, maybe not in the next fifteen minutes, but you just might be better at bursting through that zone next time.
Life is an ever changing mass of color, light and shadow. (I like to think of it as a little like puking into a front load washer and then sitting back and watching the show.) There is no “stuck”, you do not have to resign yourself to your fate…there is always still time for change, for betterment, for improvement.
A little heavy for a Tuesday, but I haven’t had a lot of coffee yet.

I sometime feel this way like my life is going nowhere and I feel way older than my 20 years old. You can roll your eyes and say oh to be young but reading your blog everyday has inspired me to deal with the issues that are in my life such as recently being diagnosed with adult ADHD and bipolar disease. So Red cheer up, youtube a Cher Video (Believe is my fav) then watch a cheerleader fail video and have a great day! Works every time! Blessings to you and your life and may it be exactly how you want it.
Cierra, thank you. And I don't roll my eyes at you at all! Thanks for the encouragement, and kudos to you for learning so much younger than I did that your life is yours to control. That's the only context in which I think, "Oh to be young...". :)
For God's sake get some coffee, girl!
I'm over coffee and am just switching to the hard stuff: coffee with a sprinkle of Valium. Yum! :)
