On Cheering Up

Do you ever have those days where all you can do is hope tomorrow will get here fast because it feels like today is just kicking you in the throat repeatedly?

Well, I've been having that kind of week. But instead of talking about all the things that have gone horribly wrong or been utterly disastrous, I'm going to talk about the little things that have been really fun or have gone really well, because frankly, I need a little bit of positive energy right now.

First off, I've been making a lot of friends here now that I'm more open to being social and going out and having fun. It's nice to think that I can actually strike up a conversation without worrying about the person wondering who I am.

Of course, I don't really worry too much about having to make new friends, because I already have the best friends in the world. I know this because only the best people could manage to get something like this video (featuring Tara, of internet fame, and our friend Brandon) from studying for an exam. I had more fun trying to dance to Single Ladies that day than I've had in a long time.

As a little added bonus, I got my mark back for the exam that we were supposed to be studying for when we created that video, and I am very pleased with my results.

In general, things are going fairly well. Sometimes, things happen in life that aren't as good as we'd like them to be, and I guess the main point of this post, for me, was to focus on the good things, because it's all too easy to dwell on what's going wrong.
