I went to work this morning in a sour mood that would rival the taste of a carton of milk that's been left in the fridge more than a week past its expiration date (that's assuming my mood were like a carton of milk). I went through most of my day feeling that way in fact, and came home expecting to stay in that dark place. Something interesting happened though. A song triggered something inside me, something that said it's okay to be happy again. When I went to work this morning I heard this same song in a different arrangement--slow, mellow, almost depressing, it was perfect for the mood I was in. But tonight, in a different version by the same artist it had a beat to it, it was faster, and more optimistic.
Maybe that's what we all need at times--that remix in our lives, that chance for a new perspective on the same situation. I know for my part the emotional potential to be sad and depressed is still there, but I'll choose to try and put a positive spin on it.
The world for each of us can change in a second.
