Trying to stay positive..
"We can always choose to perceive things
differently...
We can focus on what's wrong in our life
or we can focus on what's right.."
Smile, Breathe and be grateful.

The sun is coming out again and today the sky was blue. I was stuck inside work all day while it all passed me by and then came home to eat dinner and do nothing. I'm extremely lazy lately. I started new medication so here's hoping it makes me feel better.
"Never give up hope, Situations can change overnight
& problems can dissolve in the light of a new day."

Bittersweet Sunday. Love that I have the day off but sad I have to work tomorrow. If only the week didn't go so slow. If only my life was already moved on and I didn't have to fear the future. Ahhh well can't have everything you want I suppose.
I am grateful to have gotten a few things done even if not what I really wanted to get done. Oh well, it's ok it's not going to kill me to just relax. I wish I could get some divine inspiration for my future though. I really need to figure it out soon. It would have been better to have found a better paying job by now. Since I have not my only choice is to keep looking.
The day may have been rainy but it has ended sunny with fairly blue sky. I am hoping that it gets warmer soon. I'm tired of the rain and cold. I really need to get some sun and let it help put my head in the right place.
Grateful to have a job and grateful for the chance to pay for most of my life myself. Grateful to have my kids and my family and friends. I may not have much of a life but I'm grateful for what I do have. No matter how much I don't have I do have hope and my faith my be at it's breaking point but I want to believe in a future of happiness and I want to believe I can get there on my own.

Rainy day today. It has also been cold. I could do without the temperature changes of spring I think. The day has been good although I haven't done much today. The laundry is half done and the dishes got done. That's about it. I did color today which tends to take up a bunch of time.
Last night I ate at Zupas and had the Wisconsin cauliflower soup and it was delightful. I also had the Turkey Cranberry sandwich which was also wonderful. I haven't eaten there before but I think I will be wanting to eat there again.
Doing ok despite the fact there is mere weeks left until I am faced with being homeless with my kids. I haven't been able to find a job paying more than what I am making now and don't make enough to pay for rent or a mortgage. I'm sure we'll be ok though. When all is said and done. At least I'll be divorced and can start making a new start of things on my own. I'm excited for the unknown of it.
He says he's excited too. I hope when it's done I have enough to make a life for my kids. I hope I can find a better paying job as well. I want to support myself.
Rainy day. Too cold as well. Wish I had of stayed in bed. Trying to keep an open mind on the future. Trying to keep a smile on my face. They say we make our own happiness.

Well it hasn't been the best couple of days but I'm getting over it and the weekend is upon us so that's good. Yesterday I spent the day getting my tires fixed. I had a flat that looked as though the road had taken a tasty bite of it. Air was whistling out pretty well. My glove box also broke. It won't shut and just jostles around as you drive.
Tomorrow will probably something else breaking, oh and the dude doing the tire said "your bearing is going out. It's not out yet but its getting some play" he was kind enough to price that repair out at 364 dollars and had nothing to say when I told him the last time they did work they broke my transmission. "that's not good" was all he could say to that.
Good times. But I'm smiling. I found a new Dr. and went yesterday. Waiting to hear how the blood results are. I hope we can get my medication right and I can start feeling better. I don't even remember what it's like to eat and not be in pain after.
I am thankful for what little life I have and for the small things I take for granted every day. I'll keep smiling and trying to move forward in a positive direction...

you all think your leaving me
broken in the rain
but everyday you build me stronger
soon I'll be strong enough to leave
as soon as I find my passion
I'll leave you all in my dust
wondering where I went off to
I may seem vulnerable now
to weak to make it work
you think you can break me down
doesn't matter what it takes
but I'll come back
you'll be wondering where I've been
and you'll see that you always
underestimated me.

Today is such a challenge I am not finding much happiness in it so I'm going to go with some things I'm thankful for instead. I'm thankful that my car is still running even with all it's problems. I'm thankful for my kids and my family & friends.
I'm thankful I can go to bed and put today behind me and Im thankful if I wake in the morning I can hope for a better day.

Today has been awesome. Sunshine and blue skies. Took daughter to the children's museum at Gateway. So not worth the money to get in but she had a good time so that was good. We found a good sale and got her some really "her" shoes for cheap and ate lunch at Panda. mmmmm orange chicken.
All in all I got a bit done as well after she went to her Dad's for his visit I got the rest of my papers to my attorney and stopped on an Easter errand. Then I came home did laundry and dishes and started dinner. Homeade Chicken Enchiladas.
I have been trying to picture myself doing something to start my business going. I think I'm gonna make me a website to sell my paper crafts and then I don't have to pay someone else to let me sell on their site.

Today was a success, at least I hope it was. Made it through the day with a smile on my face and wasn't too stressed out about anything. We ended up ordering in but I am just so sore and tired. I don't know what is wrong with me lately but feel sure I could benefit from a massage.
Got out and took a walk with daughter tonight that helped clear the mind and make me feel like it's Friday. I'm off tomorrow just to spend some time with daughter who is on Spring Break. The sun and fresh air sure do wonders for a person.

Thought my day would get better once I was clocked off at work and headed home. It did not. I couldn't print up my check stubs because the site was down, my brake fluid light came on and wouldn't go off, I was late getting home dinner was late getting on the plates and my son didn't even eat because he was already so hungry he had a sandwich.
But as I type this in, my head hurting and my eyes bugging out there is a smile upon my face. Yes that is right. A smile on my face. I started freaking out earlier letting my head tell me my life sucks, then I took a deep breath bought more fluid and figure out where to put it. Got my son to work, the papers to my lawyer and dinner was late but still delicious.
"Life will be just about as happy as we decide to make it."

The sun is shining and the sky is blue! I love Spring days like this. It still has a cool chill to the air but the weather is brilliant. I love not having to wear a coat when I leave the house.
I have a lot to get done today and I'll don't know if I'll do it or leave it for another day but I want to make the most of my day and hopefully it will go in a positive direction.
Smiling through my morning! Happy Thursday!!

It is warm and sunny today in SLC!!! The sun is blazing down upon us and I am in short sleeves. It's wonderful! Work is over and it's my rotation for Saturday this week so tomorrow is my day off instead. Not real sure what I want to do but some of it will be spent helping my mom and then I have to figure out how to get my registration.
Enough about me and my day off. I have had a happy day today all in all and haven't really done anything but it's not been too awfully stressful and despite not finding my registration I feel fairly good. (except for the usual gut wrenching pain in my stomach.)
"Happiness is a direction, not a place.
I may not be there yet but I'm closer than
I was yesterday..."

"When life puts you in tough situations,
Don't say "Why me?"
Just say "Try me!"
Today was a great day. Warm, sunny, blue skies. Worked my 8 hours, picked up the kids and got home. Chores and dinner then out for a walk with the kids. Took the boy driving and while on our way home discovered my car registration is no where to be found. I don't have any idea where it has gone. I am not really sure what to do.
My insurance cards aren't there either so I'll get those printed and put in the car but I'm at a loss where they are. That put a damper on the day but I'll try to still smile and go to bed in peace instead of stressed.
Happy Tuesday everyone.

We also tried Cheesy broccoli casserole the other night and it was delicious as well. They will both be do overs I would guess. I like trying new recipes but my kids aren't always so sure. Indeed it is a do over! Another recipe for week day nights and would even be good for a potluck.

3/4 cup pepperoni chopped
1/2 c half and half
1/4 c chicken broth
3/4 cup mozzarella
1 can cream of mushroom soup
mix everything together
bake in casserole dish for 20 minutes covered
then 5 - 10 minutes uncovered til brown and bubbly
Voila!!! It was quick and easy and tastes delicious. Now you can all enjoy. Happy Monday!

Things that help lift your spirits and make you happy..
*familiar scents i.e.... brownies, crispy treats, cake, bread
*music
* Sunshine
* Exercise
Today rained off and on but ended with a beautiful blue sky and sun setting. All in all it was an ok weekend but wished we could have gotten a little more done.
Seeing Captain America was fun and I did get some groceries and hopefully the week will be full of smiles since the sun will be out and the temperatures will be climbing.

Going to see Captain America today. Getting out of the house is something I need to do. I never go anywhere. People say I should be out living life not holed up in my house day after day...
We'll see if it makes me any happier to leave. The sun has finally come out a little. I am glad that I can see it for a minute. I'm feeling vulnerable this weekend but glad to be off a couple days to rest and relax.

My health is playing tricks on me for April fools.... I've been feeling rancid all day. First I started getting symptoms of needing iron. I took the iron at the first signs and put my head down during break. The iron made my vision return but also made me sick to my stomach and oh boy.....
Needless to say I came home and slept. I now have the kids and I'm back home safe and sound. My stomach is still upset but feels at least a little better although now my head is starting to throb. Fun times!
"You will never be truly happy if you
continuously hold on to the things that
make you unhappy..
Let things go and move on...
