Smile!

Today is a day that I just don't understand.. but in a good way.
I'll explain.
I'm addicted to sugar. No really. ADDICTED.
Maybe not hard-core-always-have-candy addicted, but bad enough that when I stop eating it I have SERIOUS withdrawl headaches so I consider myself an addict.
So a couple of days ago I decided to cut sugar out of my diet.
Oh yeah, did I mention carbs too??
I must be crazy.
So Last night I got a massive headache that had me in tears.
I finally fell asleep around 3 in the morning which would have been okay if I didn't have a class at 8 in the morning.
In case you didn't know I'm NOT a morning person.
I also am not a very fun person to be around when I haven't had much sleep.
I set my alarm for 6:45 so that I would have time to get ready and somehow I woke up at 7:50.
I got to class at 8:05. I still haven't had sugar. I'm sleepy.
The amazing part???
I'm in an AMAZING mood! I've been smiling ever since I woke up!
It's positively wonderful and I hope your day is just as good as mine!

TGIF!

That is how I feel today!
Sometimes it feels like life is attacking me and everywhere I go people are trying to wear me down until I crack. I'm not backing down though. We all deserve to be the best we can be. Every mean comment, every set back, every tear that falls shapes who we are and makes us stronger. So i'm going to stand up for myself and be who I can be. I hope you do too.

How to have a lovely day.

1. Dress up.
Wear fancy clothes that you never wear. Do your hair different. Wear something crazy. Spray a little bit of perfume on. Just be happy with what you wear.

2. Watch the sunrise or sunset.
Take half an hour or even just ten minutes. Watch it with someone you care about or just by yourself curled up on the porch.

3. Say please and thank you or compliment someone.
Give others something to smile about and soon you'll be smiling too.

4. Bake something for someone.
Bake some cookies and decorate them. Make a cake. You could even just cook something new and exciting.

5. Go for a walk.
Get out of the house and go to the park. Take a walk with a friend or a loved one.

6. Turn the music up and sing at the top of your lungs.
Go crazy. Dance in your underwear. Sing with a spoon for your microphone.

7. Watch a good movie.
Curl up in a blanket, get some popcorn and invite someone over.

8. Laugh.
Belly laugh with good friends. Laugh so hard you cry. Try to make others laugh.

9. Rearrange a room.
Freshen a room up and move everything around.

10. Tell someone you love them.
Let them know you care.
