Contingencies

So, I woke up feeling sooooooo good this morning; as if I'd just come from a spa retreat or something. I had this spectacular outlook on the day; excited about the things that I needed to get done, even the little stuff like grocery shopping. But then, my good ole' personal Fox News Channel started running thru all these past events trying to remind me of all the reasons that I couldn't be happy. It was like my brain was saying, "Yea, you're happy, but not fully b/c all of this is going on." But like I said in LIG It, "your thoughts & emotions can only live when you believe them." So, I rejected my mental contingency plan for happiness, & decided that, I am not my thoughts, but I am happy!
