Silver Linings


When I woke up today I had that dreading sense that it was going to be 'one of those days' , I was all a bit emotional, had a crap sleep last night and the burden of not knowing what is next was weighing heavily on me. Not expecting much from a day can sometimes have its advantages because then when good things happen instead of just dismissing them they mean more so I just wanted to share a few of the silver linings of my day;


1) Stepping on the scales- YES it is one of the most hated activities my most women that are on the earth and since April 08 I have slowly but surely been losing weight from being far too heavy with a plan to be back to a healthy normal weight before my 30th next year. Anyway, how are you asking was stepping on a set of scales a highlight for me??? Well today, finally I hit a weight that I have not been at since 2005, my jaw nearly hit the floor because I have honestly been a little worried that I would put some weight back on in the 'relationship bliss' so to see that the last couple of kilos that have been toying with me for the last month or so have gone and my enthusiasm and focus is renewed. I will be one hot lady by the time I am 30......oh yeah!


2) Blog Award- A fellow blogger and friend bestowed my first award upon me today and with that shout out hopefully opened this up to some more readers who will read, relate and giggle. There are rules for receiving the award which I will get to but receiving it and the encouragement helped put a smile on my dial today.


3) Sister Love- There are some people in your life that can always put you in a good mood, it was only a quick chat to arrange a lunch date with my sister and my stunning niece Ruby for tomorrow but it all helps.


4) Rock of Love Bus- This I posted as a Facebook status update; Nicola is championing the therapeutic powers of 'Rock of Love Bus'.....stick with me on this one, OK no matter how bad a day/ week/ month you are having your life is not as sad as the bunch of dumb skanky girls fighting each each other to get into Brett Michael's pants. See totally logical. (See attached Picture of some of the 'ladies' from the show)


5) Panadine Extra- For putting a massive dent in my headache from hell despite the 1245 questions I had to answer from the pharmacist to get it.....seriously drug dealers would ask less questions for buying some real stuff!


So that is it.....my crappy day that had some highlights. We can't win them all but there is always a silver lining, you just have to look for it!
