AFFIRMATIONS DIVINE

Let’s face it, sometimes love just don’t  work out.  It just don’t.  (Reader alert:  in this little blog, I might abuse the English Language, because let’s face it, there’s a jolly rebel in me.)

Really people, the kicker is that sometimes love does work out, in fact love can work so well, it actually feels like you’re drugged with happiness.  That might be good, I mean after all, we really are comfortable with the human race, and we need people.     Obviously we especially need good people and we are the good ones, right?  So we should be propagating.  Naturally when you’re participating in propagation, you just know your love is working out, amazingly so.  I mean, we’ve seen it happen over and over in the movies.

Now them other people who can’t seem to make love work must have some childhood problems, or issues, or a brain tumor, especially if it’s not their fault.  Sucks for them, too.  What a shame. Ain’t you glad it ain’t us?

Now I’m going to let everybody in on a big secret. Eventually it’s either gonna be us or yuns.  Nobody hardly ever, ceptin those who pass in childhood, gets a pass.  The good news is, iffn this is ahappanun to you, you can survive it, and still be a big fat happy winner.  There I said it, and it’s true.

In therapy, us in the group all learnt to say,  Every day in every way I am getting better and better.  Frankly, I just loved that chant, however for some situations, I had to change it up:  Every day in every way, for millions of people, love just ain’t working out.  And when it don’t work out, it’s more painful than any bad drug, it’s excruciating.

So I thought to myself, since I’m almost an expert on this, maybe I should pass along some of my wise learnin from therapy,  and the school of hard knocks, for all the sufferin souls who need a little cheerin up, right now.

First:  Let go of what you can’t hold on to, and grab on tight to what you have.  Figure out just what makes you smile when you’re  busy doing only your stuff, with nobody else around, and do that very thing, a lot!

Second:  Let those tears run like a river, but only for awhile, and then get yerself a really good antidepressant.  Maybe if the tears dry up within a year or 6 months ya don’t need one, but that’s your business not mine.  All I can report is that those little pills gave me my life back.

Third:  The only love that will never fail you is the love God’s, but you gotta do your part and love yourself.  That means no hurtin yourself, or anybody else.  Curtail the bad words and bad thoughts, and focus on puttin some new branches in the old brainstem, filled with healthy leaves of new positive growth.  Meet new people, do new things, grow a new life.

Fourth:  Failure is just fertilizer.  You’ve all seen the bumper sticker, S__t happens, just remember when it’s happening to you, don’t forget the water and sunshine.   Without good fertilizer, we never really become the beautiful person that attracts another beautiful person.  Now I’m atalkin insides here, but the outsides sometime need a little attention too.  Course in your fifties, this is plain as day. Don’t resent your age though, it’s a huge blessing, cause it’s kinda nice not to have to be all caught up in appearances.  After all, it’s the insides that make life work.

Fer now, I’m about done.  I know y’all can all add to this, and I welcome yer thoughts.

Never, ever damn Hope.  Love hope, nourish hope, and think of hope as something to thank God for.  Keep it alive baby.  It works.  If you can not think of anything to be thankful for, just thank God for the way you wish it, and then thank God he’s a gonna make it even better than that.  God loves to blow your mind with personal miracles, all you have to do is keep on sayin Thanks God,

and mean it!

This was fun to write, and I just hope, it will help somebody, who thinks, love just don’t work out.  You’re right you know, but in the end, if you had it for just a time, nobody can take that away from you, and trust me, Love never fails, it will always be back, in one form or another.  That’s a promise. I’m living proof.
