Optimism Is key!

If anyone had a bad day today, it was me! Would you like a play-by-play? Good because I'm going to give you one!

It all started 7 months ago when I decided to get a job at all call center, it wasn't bad at first but the longer I have been here the worse it gets. So here is the low down: you make money for the company, get there on time, and meet all the hour requirements and you can bonus all the way! However they make that very hard, I call republicans asking for donations! Anyway, long story short I won't be bonusing very much this paycheck!

Next, I woke up early so I could get a lot of errands done before work. So at 9 am I was out weeding raspberry bushes for a few hours. That doesn't sound too bad until I remind you that raspberry bushes have thorns.... we have at least 8 feet of bushes. I finally finish and go inside to boil some eggs from my mom when I decided to check to notifications on my phone. This was when I was reminded that I had an orthodontist appointment in 15 minutes!

So I get to the appointment, right on time! And sit and wait for THIRTY MINUTES. What even is this?! So that was awesome. I get my wires changed and realize I haven't eaten yet and my mouth is going to be sore for the next week.

I get to work, do horrible, and go home. My house is empty and I remember that I was supposed to go to my grandma's house for fireworks! I hop in the car and drive the 20 minutes there and realize my parents van isn't there. I call my mom and she so kindly reminded me that we scheduled that for tomorrow.

What did I learn from all of this? Optimism is key! I know you are probably thinking, "How on earth did you learn that?!" Let me explain myself!

I believe that everything happens for a reason! Along with that I believe in Karma. In the past I would blame other people for my bad mood and try find reasons why I was having so much bad luck. Tonight I realized that it doesn't help anything or anyone if I try to put the blame on someone else and being in a bad mood also won't help you or anyone else! People are drawn to positive uplifting people, someone that is happy! If you are showing everyone that you are having a bad day who does that help?

I want people to remember me as the girl that was always smiling! The girl that was constantly uplifting others, not the pessimist. Which one are you?


Much love :)
