• I am still smiling..

    I woke up an hour late and my daughter missed the bus this morning yet I am still smiling!

    parents were cutting each other off in the parent drop off line and not letting kids walk across the paths because they are in such hurries to be somewhere..which I can totally relate to because that was me 6 years ago and always ending up just on time or late to work.
    .
    instead  I am in my pjs driving to school, calm as a cucumber, my daughter and I singing to Christmas music e enjoying our drive with no stress, and reflecting on how different my life is now because of some workout program I saw on TV 8 years ago and the moment I decided a corporate job was not going to get me where I wanted to go.
    .
    I was willing to accept I would have to build something from scratch while I juggled a full time job, army on the weekends, finishing bachelors, and taking care of a 4 and 5 year old, put more work in for momentum to build, and to do things that scared me.. like talking to people!
    .
    but I am so glad I did because now I have a freedom to wake up late and it’s ok.

  • be more like?

    Do you know somebody with a resting grinch face?
    .
    I’ll admit, I definitely have one and it’s super annoying to be told to “smile, it’s not that bad” … when all you are thinking about is walking down the hall to go pee because you have been busy working and holding it for so long. ?
    .
    but I am the most friendly person you will meet.. some people just have a grinch attitude and just want to argue over everything for the sake of arguing. you know, the person you dread to be around because they just bring negativity to a whole room?

    THOSE people you cannot help. they have to see how dim they are being. and if your first thought in a conversation is to say someone is wrong, try to argue your point, get offended by how they just dont understand, trying to prove a point to how wrong someone is feeling because you dont feel that way, chances are it’s “you” who is the grinch.
