so ya, today was lame. The yard looks gorgeous and I'm trying to be happy because afterall... its fall and fall is my favorite season!! Everything is so pretty and the clothes are getting comfy and I just love this time of year. On that note, this is probably going to be a long blog. A little bit of bitching about my absolutely !!horrendous!! day followed with a swallow of philosophy because well... it makes me feel better to rationalize the shittiness 
....

Got up, took corrie to school, went to the gas station to get the usual gatorade and mag for the gym, hit the gym, came home... and somewhere in the fucking equasion i lost my phone 
(so if you have been trying to call or text and haven't been able to get ahold of me... that's why). So, I came home from the gym, took a shower and got all clean and nice to go run errands and found out that emissions and new tags for my truck were altogether going to run me about 150.00 and oh that's right, I"M BROKE.So i said fuck that and decided I would stay home and feel sorry for myself all day 
because I'm special that way. Nothing has really been going right lately... it seems like anything that can go wrong does. Now usually I try to see the benefit in any given situation but right now, I'm just plainPISSY. It has just been a horrible couple of weeks and i'm more than ready for them to be over with....

It could always be worse. Whenever we think that things are the worse they could possibly be I think its important to look outside ourselves and look at the bigger picture. I mean really... in the grand scheme of things, how important is it really that I lost a cell phone when there is so many worse things? Yes, it kinda sucks for me, especially because I am broke, but I'm not wondering where my next meal is going to come from, my family and friends are healthy (aside from the stunningly elaborate digestive firework show they showcase every weekend from being too nice to Jose)... things just aren't spectacular. But spectacular comes from within. If I want things to be spectacular I have to work to make them that way. Life rewards action. Nothing is free but you always have options. Which is nice when you are going through a rough patch.... it all evens out if you choose it to. If you really think about all the choices we have... all the choices we make on a daily basis... possibilities are endless and potential is infinate. There is this old saying... hardship is opportunity in disguise. Without rough patches we couldn't grow.... change is movement and in movement there is life. Sometimes the rough spot is losing a cell phone you can't afford to replace... sometimes its an abusive lover or a sick family member. Things can always be worse but as long as we have choice we have the ability to change those rough spots... work through them, find our options, and use them as new pavement for a smoother ride in the future. May every day bring us all a glorious new array of possibility for that is the one thing that keeps us getting up each day... the uncertain promise of tomorrow's wonder.*
