Today started off a little rough. I had a doctors appointment I was dreading early this morning. I had worked myself up in such a tizzy over it! Turned out, it wasn't bad at all. I got some encouragement and had a long chat with my wonderful doctor that answered a lot of questions for me.
Afterwards, Justin and I went to Ruby Tuesday to eat lunch. They have a great salad bar and a lot of healthy options, so it's very easy for me to stay on track there. We also went to Target where I picked up a few essentials and Jay got some pants and a couple of polos for coaching this year. I for one can never come out of Target empty handed.
We had to head back home because I had an appointment at work I needed to be back for. The appointment went well, and I was glad to use the new system I am implementing for my clients and to manage my caseload. I think it will be beneficial. I didn't stay much after my appointment though, because our phones and Internet were out. That severely limits what I can accomplish!
It's probably a good thing, because I ended up with a massive headache/borderline migraine. I'm currently trying to fight that off.
Overall, the day wasn't too bad. I got my feelings stepped on a couple times, but with me - that's nothing new as of late. I've been on an emotional roller coaster it seems. I blame it on hormones!

Thoughtful Tuesdays
So I decided to give myself some blogging motivation and to also get over this little slump I'm in, I am going to blog something I have decided to call "Thoughtful Tuesdays." Where I find a inspiring, funny or appealing quote and post it, and talk a little about why it called out to me. I may do it every Tuesday or not. It's my blog :) I'm trying not to commit to as much, so we shall see.
So here we go.
Sometimes I kind of struggle with this. The whole "this is the thing I think everyone else wants/expects me to do" versus "this is what makes ME happy."
I know there are plenty of "things" we all have to do in life that aren't the most fun or pleasurable. That's life. Plain and simple. But the big "things" - shouldn't those be the ones that make us happy? The ones that we wake up and think, I can't wait to _____?
I tend to be a doormat sometimes. Take on everyone else's problems and issues and forget that it isn't always my responsibility.
I struggle with loving my job. There are SO many good qualities and benefits to it. But on the flip side, it is SO emotionally involved. And emotionally charged. And sad. So, so sad some days. So it is one of those things where, most of the time, it doesn't make me happy. But in so many ways, it is still worth it.
But, I think, in general - this advice is well warranted. It, whatever "it" is, is NOT worth it if you aren't happy. Maybe not happy constantly, but happy at least a majority of the time. I also feel like, when you try and try and try to be happy, but you can't - that isn't a good sign. Something needs to change.
Just my two cents. Chime in if you want. Is anything worth it if it doesn't make you happy?

It's Been A While
Wow, it has been a long time. Life has been a little busy. Well, at least work has been. And life, well, it has just been moving forward.
I haven't really felt like blogging because I don't have much to say. Not much that is positive anyway. I don't want this to just be a forum for my complaining and whining all the time. I am sure you all (all 5 of you) get tired of that.
I think I may be a little depressed. Not to the point where I need to take medication or see a professional, but just a little touch of the blues.
I am not sure why, really. Except I think I am. But I don't feel like talking about it. Or expressing it. Maybe it will all just go away.
However, what I do know is this: Regardless of how tired I am, or how blue I feel, I am blessed beyond measure. My God is awesome. And I am right where I need to be.
