What do you know!? Right after I have a "winter hang over" day, it's nice out! It's supposed to be in the 50's today! That got me a little excited for Spring! I've been wanting to wear my new Guess heels (even though I've only had them for 3 days now!!!), today is perfect! I almost didn't go to work today I was feeling so good! Then I gave myself a reality check, and decided I need to go!! I should be thankful I have a job!! The heels made it a little easier to get out!
Today I want to talk about "confidence". I think far too many people are unhappy and just settle for that, for an array of reasons.... from being comfortable to just not having the drive to change things in order to be happy. I'm here to tell you----LIFE IS TOO SHORT--- YOU deserve to be happy!
I looked up the word "confidence" in the dictionary and here is what I found: freedom from doubt; belief in yourself and your abilities, a feeling of trust (in someone or something), a state of confident hopefulness that events will be favorable, a trustful relationship. There are many more. I looked up several different sites to make sure I quoted the full meaning.
I think many people often confuse the word "confident" with "arrogant". The word arrogant means having or showing feelings of unwarranted importance out of overbearing pride. Having confidence is believing in yourself and the things that you associate with. If you believe you are a good person, deserve to be treated well and you have a lot to offer you should have confidence. Not in a prideful, but in a humble way. Not to flaunt what you have or make others look bad, but to be assured in who you are and what you have in store for you/your life. If you don't like who you are, or the results you get because of who you are, you should seek out making changes in your life. You should never stop perusing and engaging in ways to change who you are and better your life. You should never settle. Always chase after and expect the best! If you settle for lesser things, you will never get or be the best.
That's my soap box for today. It's so hard to see someone you care about (I've even felt this way about myself at times in my life) settling for something or someone when they deserve so much more. It's so easy to see from the outside, but when you are on the inside I guess you are blinded by the feeling you have involved in the situation. It's so hard, trust me, I know this!! Anyone that really knows me, knows of things I have been through!! Thank God that's over with!
On another note, I am pumped for this weekend! MARDI GRAS!!!! I have never been to the one in St. Louis!! I'm really excited! We went and got our nails done for Mardi Gras!! Check em out!!
And for all of you wondering, yes, Wynsten is coming with!!! I'll take pictures with his Mardi Gras beads!! haha. Glad he's such a good sport!!!
Whoa, it's been awhile since I posted. I haven't kept to my word about posting 3 times a week! But I haven't thrown in the towel! I love writing; I've just been soo busy! Livin life and lovin it!
It's all rainy and cloudy out today. Blah! It's so hard to want to get out of bed when it's dark and gloomy and you have a good movie to watch! Not to mention a tv in your room so you don't even have to get out of bed!! I've got Spring Fever bad! I can't wait for the flowers to start blooming and the sun to start rising earlier! Excited to be able to take my dog to the park and play! Can't wait to wear cute shirts and skirts!!! Ahh!!! For now it's just a day dream! Looks like we could still get some more snow before this is all over with!
Here I am, made it work! Barely! On my way to work, after getting coffee, I was dropping Wynsten off and I'm not sure if the rain on my sunroof scared him or what, but he decided he needed to be in my lap, so he took a leap! All but his back foot made it!!!! Yup!!! Right in the coffee!! Awesome!!! ALL over him, me and my car!! Thank God I think ahead and I grabbed a towel before leaving this morning thinking he might get my car dirty! Just didn't know it was going to be coffee not because of the rain!!! Grr!!
Speaking of Wynsten, this weekend he decided to EAT one of his new chew toys! It made him really sick! I felt so bad for him. He was up in the middle of the night getting sick all over the place. He was shaking. His eyes were all blood shot. Poor baby! He seems to be just fine now, thank God!!! I don't know what I would if anything happened to him.
I'm getting back on track with a lot of things, including school! I only have ONE semester left! I really need to punch this out! I got my next class books in the mail yesterday! I'm really excited to push past this part of my life. I think that I will continue to go to school after this because I really want to get my masters! Feel free to harass me and push me along!!!
