1 of "Those" days

Or weeks in my case,

This week is a bit rough for me.  Classes are in full swing and the work is starting to look daunting.  Jazz Concert was great; nailed my solo, but that's not enough to keep my spirits high.  Recently I injured my back at work, but did not notice symptoms until after my seasonal employment ended.  So now I have to pay for everything myself, no workers comp. 

Being a student is hard enough without the looming doom of financial crisis.  Now I'm receiving more bills in the mail (that I did not see coming) and my finances are feeling squished.  God I hope that this whole "government medical funding" issue is resolved soon so people can start feeling the relief that was promised.  Workers compensation, Insurance Coverage, Cobra, etc. are all very confusing and there seems to be little guidance out there that doesn't have a steep price-tag. 

With all of this piling up, its obvious why I don't feel so chipper.  But I have had another oblivious epiphany moment.  You don't have to be happy all the time.
I've been fighting and pushing myself to achieve happiness and its been an uphill battle.  It is a simple balance in nature that governs why this is so.  Just as in the absence of Good, there can be no Evil.  Without sadness what would happiness be?  Its the eb and flow, the yin yang.  Everything in this world moves in cycles and being an audio engineer I should've known this.  
A sound wave travels up and down like any wave.  There is a low point and a high point and plenty in between.  Such is our daily lives.  We have to have lows so we can have highs.  It doesn't mean we have to succumb to being miserable in our lows.  It means that every moment is passing and the passing of every moment brings us closer to the next.  This is an obvious idea, but I often overlook it. 

It is not necessary to be happy all the time,
but it is necessary to be Positive all the time.

Negativity doesn't do anybody any good, and to give energy to it would be taking steps backwards.
So heres to the bad times that bring us towards the good.
