embrace the LOVE

So as I was going about my morning routine this morning, getting ready with Good Morning America on I noticed on the information scrolling at the bottom that Pshycologist believe today is the most depressing day of the year. Apparently they account this to sad wintery weather and seasonal debt that is finally roaring its ugly head. I usually love this time of the year, my birthday is on the horizon, my mom and brother also have birthdays coming soon (Mom's is tomorrow.) I like winter weather, I love being bundled up in boots and coats with a scarf and beanie on my head. But today I do feel a little bit down. Life is just kicking me hard right now. Family health issues, finances, and relationship burdens are getting me down in the dumps. And I can always tell when I am extra down because I unconsiously stop by a store to by lots of Chocolate. So today as I was pulling out of CVS with my bag full of $9 worth of candy a christian band leader came on the radio and spoke this quote by Martin Luther King Jr.

  "I have decided to stick with LOVE.
                                       Hate is to great a burden to bear."

As I have been a grudge carrier lately and in the spirit of my always optomistic and loving Grandy I have decided to take this on today as a challenge. Life is too short to hold onto the hate it is time to embrace the love and have happiness and joyfulness all around us.
