The other day I was really upset…and it takes a lot to get me upset. My frustration was justifiable, but I’m not going to waste anyone’s time with the story. After a three-hour pity party, I decided to just go to bed and sleep it off.
After eight hours on a Temperpedic bed with a cuddly puppy, I woke up feeling better. (Dog-sitting isn’t a bad gig!) I hung out with my sister for a bit. I got my tire pressure checked, my nearly flat tire repaired, and a rotation for free because I’m so incredible cute and charming, or possibly because I purchased my warranty-dipped tires there. My best friend took me out for lunch and then Barnes & Nobel to buy my Christmas present, a hardback illustrated version of Animal Farm. (It is so neat!) I upload a month’s worth of picture and discovered the lovely gem below. I’m house-sitting right up the street from my aunt and uncle, so I was able to walk over for a few drinks and some intense laughter.
There’s really no use getting upset over anything. A shift of perspective or a proverbial slap on the wrist is all you need to improve your situation. Nothing will happen to you that can’t be fixed by a day spent with wonderful people and a few good laughs. The one thing that I can’t help reacting to is someone challenging my integrity for their own gain. But does it really matter what someone else thinks or says? Not at all. Actions speak louder than words and the people who matter will see you for who you truly are. Take life lightly and laugh at everything.
”Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward.”
- Kurt Vonnegut
I'm bored. Wanna to take an awkward Christmas picture?
