advice

   Yesterday was one of those days that brings you to the point of:

• Calling your mom and telling her to “make it better”
• Forcing your significant other to rub your shoulders and telling him to “make it better” too
• Eating too many banana chips
• Getting overly emotional on an intro story for a contestant on The Voice
• Getting overly emotional while watching a youtube video your Grandma sent you
• Hiding from the world under your favorite quilt
• Mumbling angrily to yourself about every little thing that goes “wrong”

Amongst other self-pitying activities...

   After complaining to everyone a few people, I collected these helpful tidbits:

“You make your own happiness – choose your attitude” – my oh-so-wise momma

“Everything will work out, you just have to stay happy. We’ve got love, what more do we need?” – my perfect fiancé

“Picture how you want your life to be, then do what it takes to get you there – you don’t need to do everything” – Papa-san (dad)

I’m so lucky to have the support network that I do.

   And listening to this song makes me happy – not because it relates to how I feel in any way but it is just so dang beautiful! I can’t help but sing along.
