Got What I needed

You ever wonder why you feel down a lot, not able to cope with the day to day stuff. Why we can't seem to get that feeling like I am successful and complete and tomorrow will be alright? You just seem to be feeling one notch below where you think you should be, and if you were then life would be a smile instead of lacking one.
I have been there and these past few weeks it has been tough, not having a day off and working long hours, not getting the sleep I should. Things get edgy in a sort of way, no matter what it is. You start to wonder is this all worth it, you know, the things you are doing day in and day out. I am not talking about taking my life just to stop whatever feelings I may be having. I am not that way. I believe there is always a way through and that giving up is not the answer (I just wanted to make that clear).
Then all of a sudden someone gives you a compliment or does something nice for you just at the right moment in your life when you need it most. You feel the goose bumps and your heart seems to beat stronger and life seems to flow through your veins once again. What a feeling. It seems to change everything.
But what has changed? You didn't do anything different, have you? No, someone else did something and all of a sudden your feelings make life a smile. Circumstances haven't necessarily changed one bit but it doesn't matter does it? Just an act of kindness to you and WOW you feel good all over.
I would like to hang on to that moment and live there and I could tackle the world when I am in that place. But you know as well as I do that it is just a moment in time, it will pass and you will forget that feeling and how everything looked to you. Why does it pass, the circumstances we face don't change but how we see them do because of what someone else did for else and we can succeed at that very moment then when it passes we doubt if we will get through it.
I wish I could bottle it and save it for those times I need a little dose just to make my day better, I would be rich wouldn't I......
So what do we do? Just a thought, look at what happens when someone says a kind word to you at that time when you need it most and how it helps you through your day. Then think on how it would feel to them if you did the same thing, remember that you have no idea what they are dealing with at that time because they (that is the one who gave you a kind word when you needed it didn't know what you were dealing with did they) may be going through something that is really dragging them down. They get a does of life from you and what did it cost you? Did you get drained by saying a kind word or doing a kind deed? No, you actually feel a little better I would say.
So If I feel better and my day looks brighter by someone else doing something good for me and I can do that for someone else then maybe I should pay more attention to those around me and I just might find out that my day to day stuff will look better by me giving a little something to others.
I know this is not a complete thought but I just needed to say a little. I hope you can have a better day because I want one, those are nice to have.
Later.
