Blue Happy Living

I’m a person that has a very small window of social time. I do go out and my life is busy but for the most socializing isn’t something I don’t do a lot of. Recently I was invited to a girls night out with teachers and staff from my school.  I don’t know most of these women outside of passing them on the side-walk or in a meeting. I appreciate the effort made to help us all bond more but I just really didn’t want to go.

On Monday it was the final day to turn your name in for a ticket. Still didn’t wanna go and even pretended that I didn’t know anything about it when I was asked if I was going. My sweet daughter sent me a text and said Mom please go with me to the movie night. How could I say no to that sweet request. For those that don’t know my daughter is the marketing manager at the school I teach at.

I picked up my daughter about 6:30. It was nice we had great conversation all the way to the movies. I even surprised her with a Starbucks drink. Even with a great start to the evening I still didn’t wanna be there. Once I got there I was glad I went. I laughed, talked and had a great time. These women are just like me they work hard, take care of their families and are just as stressed as I am.

Some times I’m guilty of not getting to know someone because I think that they will not like me or I will not like them. Tonight proved me so wrong. Judging people isn’t something we will all admit to. It’s not something to be proud of that you judge others. I’m guilty of this in so many ways. Opening my heart and my mind to others and their differences is now the direction of my heart. After all getting healthy by trimming away the fat on my body can ring true for my heart. Opening my self up to enjoy other people and their lives can only enhance my life.  We all have things to learn for each other and other women can teach you so much.

Think back to yesterday or just a few weeks ago have you judged someone and not given them a chance? Now that, is a loaded question. I’m honest enough to say I have judged and not let someone into my world because I was closed off. If we all take one day at a time and open our hearts we just might meet some pretty cool people. I hope that your day is fantastic and Blue Happy. It’s hump day so be blessed!
