A Turn-Around

Isn't it amazing how the smallest little thing can completely brighten up your day? I've been so down lately. I realized I was, and I was allowing myself to feel that way. It was completely in my control, but I was letting the situation control me.

I've decided to let it be. That situation is completely over. Thank God. And I'm the one who decided it would be over, and that I wasn't going to let it effect my life negatively any more.

I've taken control of that area of my life. And, being on the other side of it, I see how emotionally draining it was. But I also see WHY I went through it. I learned a lot about myself. Good things, as well as bad things. Things I need to work on and change. Things I need to emphasize. Things I need to allow others to see.

I have a wise friend. A friend who sat down with me and had an open, honest conversation about letting things happen in their own time. This friend helped me to see how rushing into situations just opened it up for hurt. Rushing hasn't worked in the past, why would I expect it to be any different this time around?

So, I'm trying things a different way. I know who I am SO MUCH more than I did a few months ago. And you know what? I LIKE who I am! And I don't need to be validated by someone else. I just have to let it be. And allow nature to take it's course. Even if it takes longer than I'd like it to take. It will all be worth it in the end. Time will tell. Time will tell. Time will tell...... Let it be.

Back On Track

It's Sunday. It's the first day of a brand new week.

Last week is over. It's gone forever. It only lives in a few pictures and our memories. And in my butt.

The guys were on Spring break last week. We had a great time. Here's a quick rundown of what we did:

Monday~ San Diego time! We drove down to hang with my sisters, bro-in-law, and niece. I ate like crap.
Tuesday~ Diary of a Wimpy Kid. Super cute movie. I caved to the movie popcorn and red licorice. Pizza for dinner. I ate like crap.
Wednesday~ Retirement part for my sweet teacher, Nan. The guys were, for the most part, great. After the party, we drove to Orange County, back home, back to Orange County to watch the Angels game. I ate like crap.
Thursday~ Lake Perris! It was beautiful! And we're back to Orange County for another Angels game. I ate like crap.
Friday~ How to Train Your Dragon. Another super cute movie. More movie popcorn. More red licorice. Add a box of Milk Duds. I ate like crap.
Saturday~ Girls Night Out!! I ate like crap, but managed to SKIP the movie popcorn this time!

I'm SO looking forward to weighing in on Tuesday!
