Oh What A Day

Today I had what is typically referred to as a "bad day." In fact, I would go so far as to say that it would typically be called a "very bad day." However, I believe that it is never a bad day if you have learned something. I also believe that you learn something every day. Therefore today wasn't really that bad of a day.... Right....

Here is what I learned:

If you wake up and get out of bed the first time your alarm goes off, there isn't a chance that you'll accidentally hit the "dismiss" button instead of "snooze"

When you don't get to start your day out with as good a work out as you normally do it really effects how you feel the rest of the day.

Homemade protein bars are a really good solution to bread cravings.

Always look both ways (multiple times) and swing wider than you think when turning inside a parking garage.

I have the most amazing, forgiving, kind, loving, handsome husband in the entire world (ok, I already knew this, but it was proven to me again today).

Never agree to a sewing project that involves that awful fabric that has the shiny little circles on it. EVER.  There are two reasons for this 1) It is far too difficult to sew and jams up your sewing machine something fierce, 2) It's hideous fabric anyway.

You can never do it all, but what you can do is keep going. 

Eating healthy doesn't have to be horrible. 

Sometimes you just need to drive to Costco with your mom and cry really hard for 20 minutes. 

There is no point in putting mascara on when you feel like you need to cry, cause chances are you're just going to cry it all off. 

Sometimes, even when you're trying really hard to eat healthy, your day just sucks enough that you have to have a cinnamon roll.

There is a very big difference between a good movie and a GOOD movie. 

Sometimes people want you to audition for a 30-40 year old part when you look like a 15 year old... don't worry, it doesn't make sense to me either. 

Generally when you think you can't want something anymore than you already do, something snaps inside you and your desire becomes even stronger.

No matter how rough things get, it can always get worse, so count your blessings cause in all honesty, we've got it pretty good. 

I have such an amazing support system. I have amazing family, an amazing husband, amazing friends, and a lot of just really amazing people around me who I know love me and make an effort to show me that they care. It is much appreciated. 

When you work on a project for 46 hours, it is possible for you still not to be done. 

You become an artist when the ideas are all your own instead of someone else's. 

Someday I am going to be exactly what I should be, but that doesn't mean that I'm not already. 

To all of you who have had recent/are having rough days, keep your chin up. It gets better and there is always something to be learned. For those of you having a spell of good days, enjoy it, cherish the memories, and hold on to the feelings. They'll help you get through the rough times.
