Get ready for the ultimate RANDOM Wednesday post.... I warned you....
Your homegirl here goes through a tough breakup in her life, gets close to Jesus again and all of a sudden I'm practically Dr. Phil & Oprah's lovechild over here spouting off positivity and motivational for all in need. But really, it's what I'm living these days. I can promise you that I have at least a couple tough days in a two week period (that's probably low-balling it too). And by a tough day I mean one of the following things happens: a) tears b) binge eating c) binge drinking d) self hate. Life is hard. Every single day is a struggle with my weight right now. My mom goes back for her (hopefully) final PET scan June 10th to see if the 2nd round of chemo and radiation worked. My love life...welllllll it's complicated. I'm broke, like gonna have to get a 2nd job this summer broke. The past week I've been stressed out. Zits everywhere, chocolate fest, crying to Tilly stressed. Pity party of ONE right here please.

BUT today I want to focus on the positive! When you spend your Monday being a whiny baby about your silly little troubles, then a major natural disaster happens and people LOSE THEIR LIVES, you feel like a jackass. Let's face it - I'm alive and I'm free, who wouldn't wanna be me? (bonus points, if you can name that song)
Blogging is about community and girls helping girls. It brings us together by sharing our stories with each other. I know this is a random rambling post, but my point is we have all "bad" stuff going on in our lives. On the flip side, we all have great things happening too. Try to focus on the good. And really I'm talking to myself just as much as anyone.
Random enough for you??

I needed this kick in the pants today too! Thank you! And know I'm always here for you too! And thank you for being my Dr. Phil/Oprah lately!
It's so true that we all have something "bad" going on at some point. It is very difficult to focus on the good. I know I was thrown for a loop by something that happened last week and now I have kind of been in this weird rollercoaster of good/bad moments. It is very hard to be positive but we can do it :) Thanks for the inspiration and motivation.
You are sooo awesome girl!!! Love this!
Looks like we handle our bad days the same four ways. Your outlook on everything is incredibly refreshing. I just know others, besides me, will read this and appreciate it for what it is - THE TRUTH and something we all need to remember. You're amazing and I love when you share real shit like this. As always, you fucking rock.
Saw where you had pinned the inspiration quote on Pinterest the other day...love it! YOU are an inspiration to me!! I wouldn't have fit in my wedding dress if it hadn't been for those monthly miles challenges. And now, I gotta get back at it cause this "vacation" I've been on has not helped! ugh.
LOVE the last one about talking about the joy in your life!! Why is it so hard not to bitch about the negative stuff?? :)
Hope all is well girl! I know the whole internet thing might have you hesitant but I know I for one am DYING to hear about this boy you may or may not be dating ;)
This was good. Good writing, and something I need today! And it's Keith Urban!!
I for one appreciate your honesty and truthfulness...as opposed to being all pink cotton candy and unicorns hopping gallavanting across a field every day. Because we know that's real life :P
Keep your head up! You are awesome!
Don't you love that our 4-legged friends are always there to listen and love and kiss us no matter what?!
Love this post.

Love your honesty on here. Yes, we all have things going on in our lives. It's good to find the positive and focus on it. xoxo
Love this! It takes more effort to focus on the good rather than the bad but it is such a healthier way of thinking!

This is perfect! It is exactly the thing we all need to hear. I love the attitude! We all have our down moments, but it's always best to smile!
...and Keith Urban.
:) Your outlook is the exact same as mine! There's good and bad in every day, it's about what you choose to focus on. Love your sweet heart girl!! XOXO
Think positive and keep on truckin'! You have the right idea, girlfriend. Sending prayers for your mom that her pet scan comes back clear!
I try to focus on the positive too, when I'm being silly about something, but I think it's ok to wallow. Of course there is always someone who has it worse, that will sadly never stop being true. But at the same time, that doesn't diminish the pain you're feeling right now. And that isn't wrong. Yes have perspective that it isn't the end of the world and you will survive but also remember that the pain is real and it's ok to face it and be upset and try to heal. You're allowed to be hurt, even if it isn't the worst kind of hurt someone is experiencing right now.
Girl, you have no idea how much I needed this today. I love coming to your blog and finding such happy things :) XOXO

I love so many of those quotes.. I need to be reminded that life is too short often, because it really is for me to worry about so many other things that doesn't matter.
LOVE this. and know that we all go through ups and downs- some are harder than others. it's not fair but you are resilient and can get thought it!
LOVE ya girl! I am here if ya need to talk!
Keith Urban song! :)
Hopefully life slows down and gives you a smoother path. That's upsetting that you have been so down and stressed lately.
Smile!!
That is exactly how I am living. Sure, a couple weeks ago I was crying and was totally depressed about something but then again I realized there is really so much more to be thankful for. And I realized that when that unfortunate even happened in my life a couple weeks ago I was also blessed to have a good support system. I have been living a pretty positive life since last year when I decided to stop counting my troubles and problems and start counting my blessings. And I realized that the more I counted my blessings, I always had more blessings to count. Does that make sense? The Magic by Rhonda Byrne helped me change my way of thinking. It is really great book and one with positive results. Ever since I got my hands on it last year I've been practicing gratitude ever since. Happiness is an attitude and a way of thinking. Was there ever a time when you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and pretty much the whole day was upside down with one booboo right after another? I had those too but only because maybe I kept counting all the bad stuff that happened during that day. Anyhow, I just wanted to say that I love how you have decided to focus on the positive today. =) Hopefully it becomes a daily activity for you. Sending you positive vibes and sunshine. =)
I am so sorry that life has been handing you a tough hand the past couple months, but you, my dear are going to be there soon.
Life has taken you on this path to prepare you for something. Something great.
I am always here if you need to talk even if it's about the weather! You are on your way there love, just keep on truckin':)
Love this post. Life is hard sometimes but it's ALWAYS better than the alternative. Hang in there.
I feel ya girl! It seems like when I am going through my hardest times it in turn fuels me to share more motivational inspiration on my blog. Praying for you <3
I wish I had have read this yesterday. :) Thanks for the motivation!
You are strong! You are awesome! You are loved! You are You. I love You!
"Girls helping girls..." I love that!
I have to remind myself constantly to be thankful for what I have. Ive got a pretty awesome life for the most part. (ya know except those tears, eating too much chocolate kind of days..)
