It's Just That Kinda Day...

We have all had those kinda days...
grumpy days, fat days, days where we just wanna go back to bed and have a do-over.

Today, I'm having a cute day!
I'm not a very cocky person, but I've gotta say, I look *darn* cute today!

Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it -- and today, you know I've got it!

Status of Love...

This is the status message on my fiance's gchat account:

"short hair, freckles, glasses, pale skin...man I got a great life...:)"

In case you didn't add it up, that's ME he's describing!
For the last few weeks, he has been truly amazing about using his words to make me feel special (which is something we both learned about me during our pre-wedding counseling). I'm a truly lucky gal, ladies!

Inspiration...

Last night, I was reading the newest issue of a magazine that I never subscribed to, but seem to be receiving just the same -- Shape. I am terrible about working out and eating right, but there is a lot I could learn from this magazine, if only I would put it to use.
Flipping through the pages, this little ditty stuck out to me.

Mantra of the Month
It's perfectly natural to desire more -- more clothes, more friends, more money; it's only human. But obsessing over the things you're lacking can make you feel dissatisfied. This month, take a moment to acknowledge what you do have -- anything from your healthy body, which can carry you through a six-mile run, to your best friend, who's really more like a sister. Remember that, while life can always get better, it's fulfilling to appreciate where you are.

This is very reminiscent of something the lovely Sal does on a frequent basis, and really, that is the entire point of this blog. Sure, life could be better, but it's pretty darned good already, and I'm going to be aware and be grateful for what I have. I'm a lucky gal. Positively Fortunate.
