Chaos

I was thinking about how we feel when we say we have so much chaos going on in our lives.  Chaos normally feels like something negative, but for me chaos makes me feel like all the moments of life’s adventures are about to collide.  Yes they can include bad but if we concentrate on all the positive things chaos can bring it can help center us and keep us more in the here and now.

Chaos kicks those endorphin’s into overdrive and we kind of get a two for one.  We get a super rush which makes our heartbeat a bit more, like when we see the person that makes our heart sing, but because our heart is beating faster this also allows you to burn some calories.  Come on who doesn’t want to burn extra calories.  I know I do.

Chaos can also trigger change.  Change can be scary, I know it’s not always something I gravitate to, I’m more of a let’s keep things simple kind of girl, but I’ve learned over the years from being with my husband that our life is full of chaos and it’s mostly that good chaos, as in having too many things to choose from in the way of adventures but with a strong partner by your side, the yin to your yang you can learn to embrace chaos just as much as I have.  Knowing I have person by my side to share life’s amazing moments and life’s challenges chaos can be managed.

Go out and when you’ve come across some chaos, dive right in, take control of it and you will be happy you made it through to the other side.

A Message to My Sister

This is a poem I wrote today, the 2nd anniversary of my sister’s passing.

I opened up my eyes last night and felt some raindrops falling,
I had been dreaming that I saw you,
I dreamt that you looked happy. 
I noticed you were walking and had a smile from ear to ear,
You said you were happy to see me and you said to have no fear.
You told me God had made your body whole,
You told me you missed us dearly but that you had to go.
I sat up to see you leaving but still the raindrops fell, 
I realized those raindrops were nothing more than teardrops coming from my eyes,
I was dreaming of you happy and that made me feel very warm inside.
