Happy Monday Friends! Well, I’ll admit, I’m feeling a lot better this Monday than I did the last. Sometimes you just need a break from the real world sort of things… I took my break last week. I didn’t blog much, took a little facebook vacay and worked my a$$ off. The wedding “season” is in full effect… full!
I had a self-pitty party last week, cried during ordinary runs and gained a few good lbs. You have a vision of your life, you have dreams, you have hopes… and when ‘things’ don’t happen the way you envisioned, sometimes you feel like your life is crumbling right in front of you. That was me last week… until I had a reality check during my awesome Friday night. I caught up on my favorite blogs while inhaling an entire bottle of the bubs. Speaking of the extra lbs.
I wanted to slap myself silly on Friday… for acting the way that I acted towards myself during that week. TWO-DELIGHTED posted THIS heartfelt story about a young couple who wed. He passed after celebrating their one month anniversary. I balled… in hysterics. To add to the emotional curse I visited Molly’s blog, TUPELO LOVE. Molly lost her precious son, Reid 10 months ago. I can’t imagine the hard times her and her husband, Marshall have experienced. On Friday Molly BLOGGED about a FAMILY who lost their 12 year old son in a flood. I sat on the sofa for hours on Friday, reliving the last few months through this mothers eyes and emotions. My heart breaks for both mothers.
All it took was a few blog readings for me to realize life isn’t as bad as it could be. That I can’t control every situation {darnit!} …and lastly, that it’s up to the Big Man upstairs to decide when it’s our time.
Sometimes, you just need a little slap in the face, a good cry, long run and a bottle of the bubs! Best therapy of all. All happiness on this Monday, celebrating the life that we have. Thankfully, I’m blessed with the most supportive hubby, who enjoys a good tear just as much as I do… and a group of girlfriends who mean the world to me! Life is good, peeps!
On a happy note… some exciting things happened last week. Our good friends, Carmen + Lou, both of which were in our wedding brought a new little miracle into the world. Little Leo! He is precious! On Wednesday one of my followers from DC was in Charlotte for work and I was able to meet her for coffee. Hearts to you, sweet Shannon! On Friday I spoke to the Interior Design seniors of Winthrop University about professional dress exceptions for interns and new grads… and I wore the leopard jacket… again!
