Feel......................

What do you feel today? What is your emotion of the day? Your emoticon? Are you happy, delighted, sad, free, anxious, greedy, solemn, bored? We all have emotions and while some are a flash.....some I think live underneath our skin and smolder. A close friend told me not long ago that she views life as a glass full of emotion. And most of the time the glass is not entirely full, but the slightest thing can turn it into overflowing and at that point, whatever your emotion is comes out....in tears, laughter, sighs or wringing hands. I think that is an interesting concept. It's not your typical 'glass half full/empty' statement. It's a statement which depicts us very well. If you're stressed and handling it seemingly okay, the slightest bump in the road may make your glass overflow. If you're sad, but still putting one foot in front of the other, something as simple as a book, commercial on television of Facebook quote might send you into tears. I hope I'm making sense to you. Flash in the pan emotions are just that....here one second and gone the next. The guy in the traffic lane next to you does something to make you angry, you are outraged for a few minutes, but you don't take it home and make it a part of your life. But if your underlying emotion is anger, then your entire evening is ruined. We all lead stressed lives up to a point, we all have moments of all types of emotions. But at the end of the day, what we need to work on is our feelings in the cells and pores of our live's emotion. We need to pay attention to THAT emotion that defines us as a person. A flash of anger, a sudden sigh, a moment of laughter are entwined in all of our lives daily, but what is really YOU. That is your EMOTICON. Be present in your life. Realize your walk is short. Do what it takes to make sure that when your glass overflows, it's not a life changing experience and one that takes days, months and years to combat. What is your emotion? It hovers in your heart and soul. It make you what you are.
