When I was thirteen, my baby cousin was at my Grandmother’s house. She had her parents down for a visit and he ran around saying, “ old people, old people, up and down people!” They stayed upstairs overnight, and apparently, this was a two year olds perception. I couldn’t tell you how many sets of stairs I do a day, for sure over a dozen. My mood is right there with the stairs. So who lifts you up? Not a piggyback on the stairs, but makes your mood lift? They could be one and the same, we can piggyback emotions too sometimes.
I have been a rather good hermit in February, and was quite surprised to hear the date, the twentieth! The sun is setting after 6pm and we are on the final stretch of winter. Still freezing, but the goal post is right there! The ref’s keep blowing the whistle and throwing flags, but we are closer. It is now that we stick our toes in the water to see if it’s safe to swim. The indoor things are getting pretty boring.
Time to get with the up people. People that are happy and smiling get that contagious, infectious, feel good on! Do anything that elevates your spirit. Create happy spaces, you create them. Figure out how to be the contagious one. Things that others do, that make you happy, do that! With illness still kicking around, don’t share that! Wrong contagious! Be a happy building block, to secure someone else’s footing. Come on Spring!
