Ok so I finally got another one. Last week I had friends over on Saturday night and I brought my camera (or I should say my mom’s camera) downstairs to show them some pictures I hadn’t put on the computer yet and by the end of the night I must have had more to drink than I realized cuz I totally ended up forgetting about it and I left it in the living room. So the next day I went downstairs to get it and I couldn’t find it anywhere. I was so mad at myself cuz I have my own camera but I like to use my mom’s cuz she has this really nice expensive one and I couldn’t beleive I was stupid enough to misplace it. So a week goes by and I still can’t find and normally this wouldn result in me crying and carrying on and calling all my friends asking if anyone took it but instead I just stayed positive and kept telling myself it has to be here somewhere cuz none of my friends would take it. Then yesterday I just happened to notice the string that the camera is attached to hanging off the top of the book case in the hallway by my room. I seriously could not have been more releived. I’m just glad I didn’t flip out and act like a lunatic when I couldn’t find it. And next time I drink I’m hiding my camera before hand :)

since I’ve been on 43things, I’ve missed it and am glad to be back. As a progress report on this goal, I have come a long way! It took a lot of trying to go from knowing I need to think positively to actually being more positive. It has been well worth it and I can absolutely see how it has lowered my stress and how I’ve increased my hope and motivation. I consider this goal complete but ongoing. There will always be changes and circumstances in life that can make even the most positive person want to give up and feel hopeless so the goal is really to maintain a positive outlook for life.

This is getting harder and harder to do because I can’t think of any situations lately where I’ve even allowed myself to get worked up in the first place. I’m trying to notice times when I start getting upset about something or theres a frustrating situation but I let it go instead of getting all worked but lately I’ve noticed that I’ve been letting things bother me so little that it doesn’t even register in my mind anymore that I should be upset. I guess this is a good thing tho. And I feel like a big part of it is due to the fact that I began to make a concious effort to stop acting getting so worked up and acting like a lunatic everytime something goes wrong.

I went to a woman of faith conference with my bf’s sisters and mom. I needed something positive like that. Things seem like they are down in the dumps right now. But after that conference I feel like things will be ok. I’ll take it one day at a time.

My titles are cheesy, I know. I want to have a more positive outlook on life in general. I think all of my other goals will help me accomplish this.

On sunday I decided to buy myself a belated birthday present and since I was the only person in the universe without an Mmp3 player I went ahead and got myself and ipod. So yesterday I set it up and put all my music and pictures and everything else on there and with in 3 hours it freezes up and refused to work. Now, this situation would normally end up with me hysterically crying and yelling at and blaming everyone else for my misfortune. So instead, because of my intentions to stay positive, I went online and found ipod help and when all the troubleshooting tips they gave didn’t help I started to get a little worried, so instead I called up best buy and they told me they’d be more then happy to replace it. So I went over there and they swapped it out for me with a brand new ipod that I’m listening to right now :) And I didn’t even have give myself a heart attack over it.

This will be an ongoing goal

I’ve have realized over the past few weeks that all I seem to do is complain, look at the bad in all people, and sometimes don’t trust people because of this. I look at a lot situations as bad and that needs to stop.

being negative today but i’m sure it’ll pass once i go out. i just need to not be alone and i’m superfly lonely. i reach out but no one reaches back. boo. but i have plans at 5 so i just need to hold on a little longer.
