I'm trying to be positive today, I really am, but for some reason I am down in the dumps. I think with not knowing what our future holds for certain with office jobs & our house selling, my weight gain..I am feeling down today. Usually, whenever I feel down, I make a list of all of the things that I am grateful for and it always makes me feel better..so here goes!
I am grateful for an amazing husband who I am madly in love with.
I am grateful that our house remodel is finished.
I am grateful that we own 2 beautiful land lots for our future home.
I am grateful for having jobs & extra bonus checks {yes!}
I am grateful for the possibility of a new office job..
I am grateful for Roscoe being healthy.
I am grateful for having 1 more week off of work to enjoy!
I am grateful for having a roof over my head, groceries in my pantry & family.
I am grateful for having a pool to swim anytime that I like!
What do you do when you feel down in the dumps?
Hotel Living...
June 24, 2012
As fabulous as hotel living can be, I do miss my dog, home, and it gets old packing & re-packing every day. Although, I have really enjoyed staying at some of the most fabulous hotels, Aloft, The Hilton, Marriot and DoubleTree to name a few, the only downside is having to work and not having the free time to enjoy the nice amenities {check in at 7-8 p.m and leaving early the next morning}. I wish I could work as a hotel reviewer and then I would definitely have to review the amenities! Anyway, we will be doing this job 2 more months and then we are going to be working 8-5 jobs and having our weekends back for trips and fun!!
Great News!!
June 1, 2012
I have some amazing news, but I am afraid that I have to wait until everything gets worked out for definite first before I get into all of the details! Let's just say that I may be in an office soon! I am very excited about shopping for some office outfits and decorating my office. Life is going in a good direction right now..I also have a second piece of great news, but that will have to wait until later as well. I am very overwhelmed, trying to process everything, but super excited as well! Everything should be finalized within the next month or so.
It's amazing to me what can happen when we are just fully honest & let people know how we feel instead of holding it all in because we don't want to upset anyone. I've always been the type to never settle for something when I can live a better life. Life should always be about making ourselves better & reaching for our dreams.
It's been an amazing journey this year & I have learned SO much about myself...
Like how much I really appreciate my life & how to make the most of my time and appreciate the small things, because really they are the big things.
I've learned that I had to get out of my comfort zone in order to be where I want to be in life..I had to get out of my comfort zone by leaving Roscoe with my sister- I am very overprotective of him and really have never let anyone watch him, but because of me letting go, he learned how to become less afraid of people & not so defensive thinking someone was going to hurt him.
I've learned that speaking in public didn't kill me & that everyone did not in fact point and laugh at me, as I always imagined they would. It helped me to become a more confident person & now I feel that I can do anything! {speaking in public has always been a huge fear of mine}
I've learned that all you need to do is just get your foot in the door & prove yourself..and the rest is history.
And last, but definitely not least, I've learned to speak up when things are bothering you, because people can't read your mind & you never know how the situation can be remedied & made better by speaking up.
And now I leave you with some office inspiration from pinterest....
Some of the most things that I am excited for are:
Having my afternoons to work out, go shopping, have coffee, bake, etc.
Weekends! {& weekend trips}
Vacays!
Decorating my office!
Shopping for an office wardrobe
Bigger paycheck {so I can go shopping!}
Time with family
Time to check my emails, blog, social media, etc.
Time for myself, spa time, reading books, tanning/pool, movies, etc.
Time with hubby.
Being able to be there for Roscoe & not have to leave him home anymore.
