A positive life..

The title of my blog is The way I see it.. and someone asked my why that is.. and it is because of this quote. "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change."

So I started this to get things off my chest and talk about things how I see it. So here it is.. my life.

I realized lately that I have been a bit of a debbie downer.. Things in my life have reached a precipice and the decisions I make will impact my life down the road.

All the people my age are either married, getting married, or dating. I am fine with being alone but sometimes it is hard. And I love that all these people are happy, but I kinda wish that I had it too..

And another big thing is continuing my education and finding a job. I am having to put off school so I can get a job to pay for school.. but most of the places are not hiring. So that is stressful..

But enough about that stuff.. the purpose of this post was to talk about something new that I am starting.. I am calling it the notebook of love. And it is going to be filled with quotes I love and little sayings that apply.. and when I am feeling down I am going to open it up and be inspired..

the whole idea has actually inspired me to make a gift for a friend.. I am going to buy a notebook or journal and take it around to all her friends and we are all going to write things in it about what we love about her and stuff like that.. she is getting married and I hope to have this done and being able to give it to her before the wedding. Because I know that when she is married we will still be friends.. but her husband and God and her family will come before us.


But yeah.. I might have friends write quotes that they love in my notebook.. and maybe we can start a positive trend..

I am trying to live by one of the quotes I have in here.. "If you aren’t happy being single you will never be happy in a relationship. Get your own life and love it first, then share it.'

So here is to day 1 of being happier!

As Always

Bent not Broken- Finding inspiration from others with Scoliosis

Image
I was on pinterest today(what else is new) and just for giggles I looked up 'Scoliosis' and what I found amazed me.See I was just looking for exercises that you can do with scoliosis, but what I didnt expect was to get soo much encouragement from others living with this. As for having scoliosis I am fairly lucky. I didnt have to have surgery when I was younger, I had that horrible brace. But looking back I wish I had worn it more. But I always felt ugly in that thing, so I only wore it when I had to. Since I have started working and standing on that concrete floor my back has been bothering me much more lately. But seeing the scars from others has inspired me to embrace the brace and just feel better about having scoliosis.. Here are some of the pictures that inspired me: I love this!!! Because its the truth scoliosis doesn't break you its just another bend in the road... I would never get a tattoo, but this is very inspiring! This scar is from a girl

Fall decorations for my room

Image
Being a college aged person with a retail job, I have limited funds and a strong desire to decorate for fall. I've been using my strategy of wait until fall is over and buying the decorations for next year. So I've got a couple things that I've gotten on clearance and then I bought a couple candles this year to help supplement.  Here are some of the pictures of my decorations.  The candle holder was $2 on clearance last year at bath and. Body works and the candle is from target called Autumn harvest. The candy bowl is from Kohls last year.  With these next few pictures, I took a strand of white lights that i already owned and I got some leaf garland from Dollar tree and twisted them together. It looks very cute and only cost me $2 to update the look. I'm thinking about going back to  Dollar tree when they bring out their Christmas decor and getting some greenery to put up for Christmas.  I'm soo excited for my favorite season and I will be posting my fall outfit ide

sleep deprived..

I am leaving in 2 hours so I am to wound up to sleep.. its currently 2:10am and I am leaving at 4:30 from Atlanta to go to Iowa AGAIN.. when all this craziness is over and I am in my own bed with my cat curled up next to me I will explain further the past 2 weeks.. but one of my friends got me thinking.. about sleep quotes and I found this one which I thought was touching and not really about sleep.. but it was cool.. so here it is.. "Laugh, even when you feel too sick or too worn out or tired. Smile, even when you're trying not to cry and the tears are blurring your vision. Sing, even when people stare at you and tell you your voice is crappy. Trust, even when your heart begs you not to. Twirl, even when your mind makes no sense of what you see. Frolic, even when you are made fun of. Kiss, even when others are watching. Sleep, even when you're afraid of what the dreams might bring. Run, even when it feels like you can't run any more. And, always, remember,
