The positive side


Well it's Friday, which means you should be looking at some beautiful pictures that I took or found, however given that I inundated you with imagery from NYC last week, I've decided to switch it up a little today.

Mainly because I'm lazy and don't have the energy to find and analyze photos today. It all comes down to my lack of motivation.

So I'm expecting this post to be pretty random - though I'd like to focus on the good things that are going on right now. Having come back from my recent travels, I'm finding myself in a little slump without a big, exciting trip to look forward to, so this is the perfect time to remind myself of all the great things life has to offer.

For instance, my job. Not only do I have one, but I love the work that I do and the people that I'm surrounded with everyday. A girl couldn't ask for much more than that. Needless to say I completely agree with this post from one of my favorite 20-somethings. Thanks, Playful, for the inspiration.

Here are some other things I'm happy about:
-Amazing friends, those scattered across the country and my girls right here in town
-My health, which I recently found out is improving!
-Red Wine Thursdays
-Free speech
-The warm weather we've been experiencing in the Midwest lately
-Traveling
-Progress toward getting my puppy
-Discovery of some new Italian recipes that I love
-Yoga, running, and spinning
-Lazy weekends on the couch watching football with the man friend
-Taking on new accounts and new challenges at the office
-Preparing my photography for a show in December

So tell me dear readers, what are some of the things that are making you happy right now?

Cheers!

great uplifting post... I certainly needed a positive blog to read with so much negativity surrounding me today :)

Speaking of Puppies, I escorted Highland Hottie to get her new dog today, ended up being named Fiddle. Would have ended up in the pound had she not taken him.

He's one of those dogs that when you call him his ears go half up, with floppy ends and he gets all excited for the attention. God I love dogs :D

jennie - thanks lady. hope you're doing alright with all the turmoil...

so@24 - so easy...take pesto sauce, mix with garlic (fresh, not the canned stuff), chopped sun dried tomatoes, and fresh basil, and serve over cheese ravioli or tortillini. I've been using Buitoni brand pasta and sauce. So simple, yet so amazing.

wc#3 - me too!
