Magnets and Life

Some people like magnets on their refrigerators and other people don't. I am one of those people likes them. Mine refrigerator is full of them. I have some shaped like shoes, some like bottle caps, some that are Dilbert cartoons. I have the words you can make into sentences. I have some that even serve a purpose such as let me know the number to my favorite pizza place. My favorite one though is one I got in the mail. It has a cartoon boy that is pulling all these different faces under describes the feeling represented such as happy, smug, disgusted, ecstatic. Then there is a little magnet. It is shaped like a picture frame. It says I am. Then the fun part is you put it over the one you are feeling. For the longest time it has been over the one that says frightened ~ hey it amuses me. Well, one day standing at the frig. deciding what I wanted to eat. I stared at the magnet. I thought it is time I change it. I had a hard time. What was I feeling? Angry? Hopeful?Confused? Frustrated?Hysterical?Enraged?Sad?Anxious?Depressed? Happy? Gee I could honestly say yes to all of those. How can someone be angry, hopeful, anxious, sad and happy all at the same time? My emotions run all over the map waiting for the adoption. It is hard to put on the happy face when all you want to do is mope and complain. I could do that but what purpose would it serve? It won't bring her faster to me. Besides, she needs a mom that is strong not one that is going to cry at every turn because she can't cope with life's ups and downs. Anyway, my wise(don't tell her I said this it will go right to her head) mom always said the day is what you make it. If you think you are going to have a happy upbeat day, you will. If you think you will have a crappy day, you will. So go out there people and have an awesome incredible day!!!
