It's One Of Those Days

Some days you just wake up & immediately want to go back to sleep. You want to crawl back into a cocoon of blankets & pillows & be a vegetable for the day. Or maybe you have had a long string of these days. Things just are not going well. You're sick, tired, worn down, the weather is awful, & life just is not going right. What are you supposed to do.

I probably seem like I have it all together & I'm happy & healthy & blah blah blah, but that is far from the truth. At the moment I am writing this, I am laying in bed in my pajamas watching Army Wives at noon, I have a cold, I have a stye, my husband is going to be gone for the rest of the week, & it is cloudy & chilly in Hawaii. Before I started writing this I was sitting here thinking about as "woah as me" as I could get, basically pouting about my life. But then I decided to write down every thing I can think of that I have to be happy about, tacky I know. It took me a few minutes to start, which made me more upset. Am I so blind to how amazing I have it that I can't even make a list of good things? So I took a break & scrolled through my pictures in my phone & I got all the inspiration that I need. 

Here are some of my best friends on the island, doing what we do best. Shannon, Leslie, & Mikk, even though today seems like it sucks for me, thank you for making even my worst days awesome & for being the best friends a girl could as for. 

Look at these beautiful views I get to see every single day. Even though it's overcast today, I know just beyond the clouds are these amazing views just waiting for the next cloud free day.

My greatest blessing of today & every day is that I have this fantastic man as my permanent roommate. Even though he'll be gone all week & be gone again in a few months, I could not be more thankful for his unconditional love & support no matter how far away he is. Through all the trials & tribulations we endure, I wouldn't change a single thing. Even though we have been sleeping on an air mattress for a month & will be for another 50 days until all our furniture gets here, we eat on paper plates because our nice bowls & plates are also 50 days out, & our pup is still 4,000 miles away, life is great.

For anyone who is having one of those days or one of those weeks, take a minute, scroll through some pictures, & be thankful for all the amazing people, views, & blessings you have in your life.
