It really is ok..

to feel whatever it is you are feeling right now.. In today's world there is such an aversion to feeling feelings.. but.. it really is ok to feel what you are feeling.. it is ok to be happy.. it is ok to be sad.. it is ok to feel energized.. it is ok to feel exhausted.. it.. is.. ok..

A few years ago the movie Inside Out came out.. if you have not seen it check it out.. this movie highlights the feelings of Anger, Sadness, Joy, Fear, and Disgust.. aside from being a hilarious and extremely adorable movie.. it showcases the fact that it is ok to feel all of your feelings.. Part of being human is having a wide.. complex.. diverse set of feelings..

At the moment I am simply worn down and exhausted.. and that is ok.. it is ok for me to not be energetic and full of joy.. I am not sad.. I am not depressed.. though it may appear that way on the surface.. and frankly.. even if I was.. it is ok to feel those things..

Last week was Spring Break.. this week we are back to it.. and for some reason the great idea fairies decided to have a staff meeting.. AND conferences.. on consecutive days.. on our first week back from break.. and I.. am.. worn.. out.. but you know what.. it is ok.. this too.. shall pass..

Life is full of valleys and peaks.. highs.. and lows.. things can not always be great.. so don't tell yourself they always have to be great.. and when things are not great.. do not lament.. but rather look for the lesson.. seek what is to be learned from it.. and remember it.. grow from it..

When you find yourself in those valleys.. those.. low points.. just remember.. it is.. and it will be.. ok..
