The Time is Now

While I'm not big on making grand resolutions at the beginning of each year, I would like to work on one major thing starting now: Be happy with where I am. No matter what I'm doing, who I'm with, or what size I am, BE HAPPY and appreciate where I am in life. Stop constantly looking back or looking forward thinking things will be so much better "if only...." Screw the if only: my time is NOW.


When I look back on my life, I see all these times I could've been happier, but instead was focused on bigger and better things. When I was a child, I couldn't wait to grow up. When I was in high school, I felt like a big, fat tub-a-lard despite wearing a size seven (that's right, SEVEN!!! And still I never appreciated it). When I was married, I wanted to be single and now that I've been single for over a decade....well, you can see where this is going. If I don't learn to be happy and positive no matter what, I'm forever going to become more and more negative, bitter, and unhappy. Who wants to live like that? So, from now on, the time for life is now. :)
