Being a Girl II

I guess this is going to be a series, cause here I sit again. With more to say. I was going to use this post to put up pictures of my new hair, my toenails and my clean car. But I think I will keep you all in anticipation. :)
So after booting that idea, I decided to use this post to add a few more things to the list-of-things-to-make-you/me-feel-better.

12. I think that, when your feeling down, its the most important time to make a conscious effort to MAKE yourself happy. I normally try to make myself happy, but I slip up now and then. When someone cuts me off in traffic, when someone says something a little sharper than intended, when people get short tempers with me at work. And usually, I let myself feel the anger and frustration. But today, since I was already feeling down, I decided I didn't need any more of that, so while driving a huge dumptruck cut me off, instead of railing out a list of profanities, I smiled and waved at him, and what do you know, it worked. It didn't ruin my mood, and he smiled and waved back. Hallelujah. My day is getting better by the minute.

13. I dont know if any of you listen to Jack Johnson or Dustin Kensrue, but for some reason, those two singers work miracles for my mood. I feel 110% better after listening to them. So kudos to them for having uplifting music.

So what started as a bad day has morphed into an unbelievably good one. I guess its all in the attitude...

  1. Lindsie Love, sometimes it weirds me out how ridiculously similar our lives are at this moment in time. Really. Except I don't have the guts to dye my hair. :D But I did spend 3 hours cleaning my kitchen today. That is all, just know I love your guts.
