Stuck between the depths of my fears and peaks of my pride

I do my best to keep things upbeat and positive on this ol' blog here.  Why should it be negative?  Why should it be sad?  Why should I be unhappy?

The truth is, I'm not unhappy.  I promise!  I'm not negative,  but I can let negativity overrule my positivity.  My positive self always fights a good fight though.  It usually wins, which is best for all.  And sometimes, just sometimes, I feel sad.  Nothing major.  Just sad.  Exhausted.  Helpless.  I know, what kind of person am I?  A real human being?  Get outta here!

Some days I just cannot control my mind and my emotions.  I think it's because my hot yoga classes are over and I haven't done any sun salutations recently.  You think I'm joking...

Here are some truths:

I can't sleep anymore.  Well, I can...just not well.

I cry at Sprint stores when they make me feel stupid.

I also cry thinking about what day it is...

I complain about staring at a computer for work for too many hours.

I get worked up about little things that I can totally handle.

I have been saying "totally" a lot.  Naturally, I'm turning into an earthy, crunchy, Valley Girl in the Pacific Northwest!

I have been having strictly morbid dreams lately.  I get it from my mom, I think.  Thanks!

It doesn't help my dreams to have so many shootings in Seattle lately.

I'm ready to retire, just not financially ready.  Is that the part that needs to be ready?

I thought it would be best to listen to Norah Jones before bed so that my heart slows to a steady sprint.

Here are some lies:


Life stinks.
(Totally the biggest lie ever!)

And now, the good things:

Now, I'm going to bed with a smile on my face.  Not to mention it's June 1st.  One day closer to June 2nd and so on...

Thanks for letting me vent.  I feel so much better already.  Have a happy Friday.  It really is worth it.

And as my sweet Ellen always says, "Be kind to one another." (I'm talking to you, Sprint man!)

        Best,
                Anne
