Perception

I have this friend...a really smart friend...who tells me that our perception creates our reality.
What the hell does that mean, anyway?
That's what I've been struggling with lately but during this morning's workout a light bulb went off.

The stories we tell ourselves define our reality...right?
I've been telling myself that nobody wants to know my story right now...nobody needs to know...nobody would understand.  The fact of the matter is...I don't get to decide that!  I get to put my story out there because I need to write, talk, blog, journal...be me.  This blog has been my journal and I've missed it because its been my perception that nothing is going on that anyone needs to know about.  

I can only speak for myself.  
I can only think for myself.  
I can choose to be happy.
I can choose to embrace change.
I can think...oh yes, there is no way to turn off this runaway brain...but I can think positively.

Today...I choose to perceive that people
care
are interested
need to know
will understand

I choose to start putting it out there again...my heart, my thoughts, myself.

What does that mean?  It means that I'm making a conscious effort to blog again, to tell the Bug's Story no matter what it involves. It's a new year everyone...and its going to be a great one, no matter what, because that is how I'm going to perceive it...as an adventure!

Thank you 'really smart friend'!! Thanks for helping Stacy realize that The Bug Story needs continue and for empowering her to share the adventure with confidence and conviction. Like Lindsay said, we've missed the blogs.

I LOVE your post, Stacy! You are so intuitive to what is going on in the world. We would love to hear what you have to say! Just set it out there and let your fans taste the flavors of the day! We've all had those different flavored days and you are right we need to share in eachother's experiences and trade flavors some times! It makes life nicer.

Friends near and far want to be a 'part' of 'The Bugs Story'. When we are far apart physically or just far apart because our lives take us different places we can be together here at blogspot.com. That being said, I need to update my peeps too on our story... TBA.

We will laugh with you and maybe at you... we will be a virtual shoulder to cry on or a wonderful wall to lean on. You know where to find 'us' if you need 'us', right?!

Good or bad, happy or sad, life is an adventure. If only we can realize it, and appreciate it, while its happening.
