FRIDAY, FRIDAY, FRIDAY!!! Did I mention that I was happy it was Friday? This week felt like a long one for some reason. Maybe because Spring has finally come to Alaska. All week is has been beautiful, sunny and trying to get warmer and the last place I wanted to be was cooped up in an office building. In about a month the trees will be green and it will begin to look like summer. I CANT WAIT!! I woke up this morning feeling wonderful, the sun was just starting to come over the mountains, I had my snuggly Shih Tzu snoring away next to me and I was warm and cozy in bed. There are days when I feel down and then there are days like today that make up for them. I realize in these moments that I am lucky, so very lucky. I have my health, the love of my family and amazing friends (cue small animated bluebirds singing in the background). I live in one of the most beautiful places in the world, a place that people dream about coming to. Life is good. What brings on this attitude you ask? Lots of things!
Number 1: Last night I was able to spend some time with my brother which was great! Andy has become such a great guy. He is caring, funny and genuine. I love the fact that I have a brother that I can say “I love you” to him in front of his friends and he will say it right back. Andy you are amazing and remind me so much of Dad in the way you treat people. I am so proud to call you my brother!! The rest of my family is just as amazing, my sister is fabulous with her quick wit and caring demeanor, my mom is so supportive of all of us and what our dreams/desires are. I have the best family!!
Number 2: I have my health and I am young enough to make the changes I need to make without any long term side effects. That’s a big one. I woke up this morning with hope. I can lose weight! I am perfectly capable of it and I am starting to gather a team around me to help me achieve this goal.
Life is good! I am blessed. I just have to remind myself of that from time to time.
