Happy New Year! The countdown has commenced, cheering has taken its place, and a feeling of something new and invigorating was present. Yet, while everyone around me seemed overjoyed for the New Year, I was feeling quite overwhelmed! I walked back into the house of the gathering I was attending. With an expression that reflected my inner turmoil I slumped into the nearest couch. The only other person in the room that had a similar face reaction to the change of year was my niece who was wide eyed from lack of sleep and seemed stunned. Even though 24 hours before was just another day, a second of change in time brought to me a feeling that my future "doomed and loomed over me". I could not shake the feeling of reminding myself what immense changes and requirements were before me. Not that the things before me are bad, just difficult and looking at it all in one accumulation stressed me out. I continued with this feeling all of today. At times I felt as if all the pressure was driving me to sure insanity. I could not do any task with out worrying about all the decision ahead and preparations I need to be doing before the end of this new year. I would find myself wasting time with gripping nervousness that would cause me to look anxiously over my future.
Thankfully I turned on some of my Sunday music. I found this song. While I do need to be paying attention to the future, I cannot figure it all on my own at this very moment. I can't let my worrying for the future stop my progression of today, or else my future will be thwarted.

I am grateful for uplifting music. Perspectives can be shifted and nerves can be calmed my simple phrases that mean the world to me.
