As you probably have noticed (or maybe not), my blog has a totally new look. I have changed basically everything, even the name. I feel like I created this blog for a reason that isn't there any longer. I am not tied down to a devastation in my life anymore nor do I want to go back there. I am excited to brighten things up a bit!
I also decided to change the name. Life, Love and Things Between still is an important aspect of this blog. Learning to do life together more versus trying to do it all alone is still a goal, and trying to love as deep as the ocean is also a great thing. But I wasn't focusing on the "Things Between" portion. Many times I've started blog posts and ended up deleting them because I felt as if they didn't fit into what I was trying to make this blog about. SO, I changed the name to La Dee Dah (LDD). LDD to me means, I am human, I am trying to live this life to the best of my ablity, yes I'll screw up but it's not the end. LDD means laughter and fun, silly randoms and memories.
I was taking myself to seriously and I have realized that life is too short to always be serious. I have begun to stop and notice the small things (another posting on this in the future). The importance of seeing vs looking is an incredible thing to discover. Some of us live our lives on auto pilot and miss out on so many things and opportunities.
As we were cleaning my father in laws house today and decluttering it, it dawned on me, we have the power to introduce and promote happiness in our lives. Some of us need to work on decluttering our own lives. Whether it be literal or figurative. Decluttering our "friends" is something we could all benefit from and getting rid of all the negativity that will suck you dry. This has helped me so much in my own life. Other peoples negativity began to be like a disease in acquired and it was wearing me out. I was no longer going to let other people have rein over my happiness in this short life.
I saw this powerful quote by Eleanor Roosevelt- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.
Truth is... I was letting people have that control, until I consciously decided they no longer had that ability.
May this leave you with a bit of hope that you truly have the power and control over the amount of happiness and joy enter your life (besides the occasional inevitable things). Only you have the power to rid the old and go seek the new! It may change your life forever!
Find what makes you happy and pursue it!
