Getting There...

Life's getting better....learning more about myself each obstacle I face.

I think one of the biggest changes is being on my own. Most of the time I have friends and family around...but my parents live in Austin and my bf travels all the time. I'm learning to live without my cheerleaders. I've now realized that while growing up I had a ton of support. I had encouragement no matter what I was doing...

Learning to be your own life cheerleader is tough! Especially when you're the only one trying to pick yourself up emotionally when you're down emotionally. Shift in perspective, a change in attitude. Count your blessings, not your worries! Easier said than done :)

Tell yourself you're proud of yourself. Praise yourself when you accomplish something. Be your own best friend. I guess I'm learning to implement all of these things. I guess in all actuality we can't rely on others for our happiness. Ah adulthood....it's like going back to school all over again, except this time it's just everyday life.

Between a roommate, a part time wine serving job, and babysitting...and my regular job - I am starting to feel better about the $ situation. Making an honest living and working hard. I think I perform best when I am busy...I've always felt like that. Filling up my employment plate!

And Labor Day weekend on the horizon...a couple days away! After Saturday morning there's no more working. I can see a cocktail and a pool in my near future. Grilling and relaxing...hanging with friends. Coming sooooon! Yippee!

What are you doing for Labor Day?!?!?!?
