I have noticed...
I have noticed recently that the friends I have that I admire most, the ones who are living their dreams and seem happy and have what they want all have something in common: I have never once heard them complain.
I know life isn’t peachy all the time even for the generally happy people out there, but I envy these people who manage to not let every little bump in the road get to them. So, what am I gonna do about it? I’m going to TRY REALLY HARD to not complain ever again for like a month!? In fact, I’m going to blog at least one thing a day that I am grateful for (I used to do this) and/or that is inspiring me.
…SO, I’ve created Blissful Thinking, a new tumblog for my happy, inspiring thoughts, finds, pictures, links, and general feel-good stuff. I hope you’ll also follow me over there too!
Part of the reason people might think I look a lot younger than I am is because I have no fashion sense. I would totally wear this Hello Kitty sweatshirt. I used to wear a lot of Paul Frank, but have since retired most of my beloved cartoon character hoodies. I do know how to put together classic looks, but I have virtually no idea how to dress outside of the Banana Republic type realm. I think I realize more and more that I don’t even really care about fashion, but every so often I see someone put together something totally cute and unique and wonder why I can’t do the same. I’d like to be able to take more risks, but I have such a self defeating attitude. I’m always like “yeah I can’t wear that because I’m taller than average, or not stick thin.” Ho hum, I need to get over it! Don’tchya think?
Elmo, like sweet morning dew
I took one look at you
And it was plain to see
You were my destiny
With you I’ll spend my time
I’ll dedicate my life
I’ll sacrifice for you
Dedicate my life for you
It’s completely unreal that Turkey Day is only a week away. Where did 2009 go?
The last few years have flown by. Sometimes I don’t even know how I old I am. I have no idea where 26 and 27 went…Now I am 28? I feel 19. Can’t I just be 19?
I would rather walk with a friend in the dark, than alone in the light.
