Sad Happy - Ep. 442
So, how do you feel about being sad?
A weakness, is it? Or a much-needed release?
Do you worry about opening the floodgates even just a tad?

Ep. 442 - Sad Happy
We begin as always
with the Happy Creed.
We believe in Happy,
in Balance and Growth,
of being Mindful and Grateful,
Compassionate and Understanding.
Yowza
Haha
My Happy Friends!
Read the first letter of each line
And you’ll see a message
Hidden like a secret sign.
So, how do you feel about being sad?
A weakness, is it? Or a much-needed release?
Do you worry about opening the floodgates even just a tad?
How about starting with just the tiniest dose of Sad?
An amount so small it’s something anyone can process?
Purpose being, to get you accustomed to it without it feeling too bad.
People need a chance to acclimate, to get over the initial stress,
Yet not so slowly that they can’t let go of any of the pain they had.
Really, the idea is not to make you feel sad for sadness’ sake,
As Sad, like any mood, is not the goal, it’s just a tool, a way to deal with life,
How about something only mildly sad like a choice you did or didn’t make.
Read a sad story, listen to a sad song, or just contemplate inhumanity and fear,
Acknowledge the absurd humor of it all so you don’t wallow in sorrow,
Hone your endurance, and you’ll be able to stop crying after a single tear.
Haha
