Inspiration of the Day: "Just talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad" -White Trash Story by Casey Donahew Band
Today at work I had my music on my phone playing (like I do pretty much everyday) and of course, like always, I had it on shuffle. Random thought, I don't know why I bother to put it on shuffle because I end up skipping 50 songs just to get to the one I want to hear but anyway, today for some reason I hadn't skipped any songs yet. One song came on and the lyrics just kinda created a lightbulb moment because it made a lot of sense. This goes back to my Inspiration of the Day. The song is 'White Trash Story' by Casey Donahew Band
The part that stuck out is "just talkin bout the good times, drinkin down the bad". I couldn't help but think, this is brilliant! Now, I'm not encouraging to become an alcoholic or get drunk when you are upset (realllly bad things happen), but the basic idea is great. Which is, in my mind anyway, that you should celebrate and remember the good times, and "drink down" or wash away and forget about the bad times.
Now this wasn't the only lightbulb moment I had this week. I've been seeing and hearing a lot of quotes lately that are about worrying. I am such a worrier and have been for most of my life. I worry about everything. Hope for the best but expect the worst. That was my motto until recently when Chris (my boyfriend) yelled at me and told me I need to stop worrying that everything will be ok (which he's right, but don't tell him I said that haha). Then some of the quotes I saw or heard got my brain thinking even more. Here's some of my favorites:
Moral of all of those and any other ones I may find on Pinterest (shamelessly addicted), is that worrying does nothing. It's a waste of time and energy. It's definitely a tough habit to break, especially when I've always been this way, but I think I'm setting myself up for success. I am putting more faith in God and it's getting easier every day to just give everything up to him. I also have irreplaceable supportive friends who are always there no matter how far away we are from each other and I have an amazing boyfriend who listens, supports me in every way possible, and who is there for me anytime I need him. I am so grateful for all these blessings as well as random songs and quotes I come across. It's amazing what one little set of lyrics or one simple quote can do. Sometimes it can really change your life.
