A new day of choices

Have you ever had a day where it seemed like every other car and everything someone said to you got on your nerves? Well that was my day yesterday, a day of aggravation. I was meditating last night and ended up laughing at myself for the day I had yesterday. I couldn’t find any peace during the day and I decided to take it out on the world, boo hoo, poor me:~)
It was such a beautiful day out and all I wanted to do was feel anger. Why? I wish I had a good answer but I don’t. I didn’t have much strength and lost some of my weight that I worked so hard to gain, maybe that was part of it. Meditation or just sitting quietly for 30 minutes let me become aware of my actions which led to me laughing at myself. I laughed because I knew I had a choice of my actions and I was choosing the wrong actions, but from the moment I became aware of the pain I was inflicting on myself and others I was able to change how I will react to everything. Awareness is a powerful thing, but I had to slow my mind down enough for me to be able to recognize what I was doing.
Today is going to be another beautiful day and I will be a different person then I was yesterday because I want to be. My actions not only affect myself but all those around me and I am sorry for that. Today is mother’s day, a day we can all celebrate. I’m pretty sure that everyone on this planet is either a mother or at least was born by a mommy. Today is a new day where all the choices of how I react to things are up to me. I control what I want to get out of this day thanks to awareness and my choices.
