Grumpy pants...

I wrote this block about a week ago. And I teetered back and forth between posting it and not posting it. But I feel I should share my not so pleasant posts (as well as the great ones) as a way of showing/helping others walk away from bad days as a better, stronger and wiser individual. And because we all have bad days.

So here it is, my not so pleasant post:

Its one of those days. Just one of those days that make you want to curl up in a dark room and sleep until the day goes away.

Its cloudy and cold and the sky keeps spitting out drops of rain here and there and right on top of my hair that I spent so much time ironing straight this morning.

And this weather is not the least bit welcoming nor inspiring. This weather makes me want to wrap up in 100 blankets and sleep until tomorrow.

Have you realized Im complaining and whinning and being crabby? Because that is exactly what Im doing. Ryan would say, "You have your grumpy pants on today."

Its just one of those days.

And still somehow I conquered the monotonous house chores early in my day. Load the dishwasher, take out the trash, do a load of laundry, pick up clothes scattered about the bathroom and bedroom floors, etc. Yup the same old tasks. I even called for quotes on insurance as I feel ours is currently to expensive. And I was right. When I switch I will save $40 a month on car insurance. (To bad its not Geico.)

Today.

I revisited my blog today and realized I was having one of those grumpy pants days. Again. I cant fail to mention Ive had some excellent fun days in between.

And the day has gotten better. All thanks go to my sister and grand haven sisters Laura and Tiffany. They brightened my day just by seeing me and talking to me about their lives, new things and excitements in their lives. Which makes me excited and uplifts my mindset to a more positive state.

I love the people around me for so many reasons. This being one of them. I miss my parents back home because of their loving nature. But my grand haven family fills the void just enough to where I can make it to another holiday or visit home.

And that is another reason to keep my head up. Im surrounded by people that care and love me.

As well as you are.

Keep loving. And thinking positive.
