Well, today I have to apologize to 5 women. The four that I am on vacation with and my best friend. These 5 women have spent the past week mending the broken hear of their daughter, niece, grand daughter, best friend. They have been so amazingly patient with me as I mope around in the fog of my own mind (it's scary in there let me tell you.)
Have you ever seen that movie with Reese Witherspoon where she dies and her ghost is sent back? That's kind of what I've been like for the past week. I can look in the mirror and see myself but it's not me. You see, the real me is perky (yeah, annoying cheerleader perky...), confident, funny, witty, and pretty damn cute ( i may be a little biased). But the girl that I'm seeing in the mirror is lacking energy, self esteem, sense of humor, and she's walking around in nothing but sweats to hide in. WHERE DID I GO????? My nana asked me "What can you do right now to make yourself feel better?" So I thought about it and this is what I havesome up with.
1. find a great, flattering outfit that I feel like a rockstar in (all I packed was shorts and t-shirts to wear)
2. Spend an entire afternoon laying out in the sun with a book and my iPod
3. Spend an evening cooking a meal for these lovely women who have been so patient with me
4. go out one night =]
5. flirt with someone! (haven't done that in a while)
6. smile a little more.
So this blog is dedicated to my fab 5.
Thank you for being my shoulders to cry on. God knows there's been enough tears to go around. =]
On another note, it's a beautiful day in florida, a little cool for my liking but the sun is out and the whole scene from the back porch is picturesque. I think God had something special in mid when he painted the sky so bright this morning. His little girl could use somethine bright today
My list of blessings for the day:
1. my fab 5
2. sushi
3. the sunshine
4. my nana's wise advice (she seems to know just how to make you think when you don't want to think and talk about things you wouldn't normally just spill.)
5. sweatshirts

I like your blessings for the day. It makes me keep looking at the positive. ;) What part of florida were you in?? I stayed in Sarasota.
