Nice, right? Cost me a whopping 20 bucks. By no means did it break the bank.
Most of you who really know me know that most of my life altering revelations happen in the bathroom. Toilet, shower, or just in the mirror making myself beauteous..... It's something about the bathroom that makes me extra deep. Or maybe God knows it's the only time I'm not distracted and He can get a word in.
My old clock radio had been giving me problems for FOREVER. It was really staticy. The sound goes in and out all willy nilly. Basically it had a mind of it's own....short of changing stations by itself.
If it was THAT possessed I would have gotten rid of it a long time ago...
Anyway I was in the bathroom getting ready for work the other day, listening to Steve Harvey. And I caught myself with and an eye shadow brush in one hand and smacking the crap out of my radio with a jar of hair grease with the other.
Really Michelle? Really? I think you make enough money to buy yourself a new radio!
I kid you not Blog-land - I have been smacking the crap out this radio for MONTHS!!! And before this week nothing in me said, "just get a new radio Crazy!"
Why?
Because I, probably like a lot of you, hold on to stuff WAAAAY too long!! Way past its functionality or usefulness or my emotional happiness. Trying to "make do". Or because I'm comfortable. Or I'm hoping against hope that something (or someone) will function the way it used to or the way I want.
I Recognized My Crazy!
Crazy is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting something different to happen.
I smack my radio everyday. Has it returned to normal? No. Crazy!
Those pens in my office that don't write and I put them right back in the cup 'cuz next time I pick it up it just might work. Crazy!
And don't get me started on my car! With the money I've spent in the last 6 months I coulda had a new one. Which is what I really wanted in the first place! Crazy! And more repairs are coming around the corner if I don't get my mind right.
What it really comes down to is not believing that what you have can and could and will be better (if you let it). Believing that having something is better than having nothing, even if that something doesn't work or it's not REALLLLLY what your heart desires.
It comes down to settling. And where's the happy in that?
Get your mind right with me Blog-land!! Whatever is not working for you....CHUCK IT!!!! Life is too short to waste time on a pen that doesn't write or a radio that doesn't work.
You need those 5 seconds.
We got better things to get to.
