I have decided to start a whatever I want blog. I have decided to try my best to be a bit more optimistic this year, more of a glass half full kinda girl. I am mostly a glass half empty type of person at least after the last 5 or so months of stress, therefore my blog title cynically optimistic.
I feel like I really do try to look at the positive but it mostly goes something like this, well I will use our flight home from Christmas. My husband was able to go after the kiddos and I had our tickets and so our flights back were on different airlines with different layover cities. I can stress myself out fairly easy so I kept telling myself this will be easy (I was flying into an airport I don't know well) we will just get to our next gate wait our hour and then be on a plane home. This is what actually happened, we wait almost our lay over hour when an announcer says our plane is cancelled and we need to go to customer service and find a new flight and then 2 stand by disappointments and 7 hours later we are on our way home. I had a very upset teenage son after the second missed stand by, I had been doing my best at trying to crush his dreams of getting on the flight we were 6,7,&8 in line for stand by. There was no chance on an already booked flight, poor guy was seeing the glass half full even though his mom was trying to show him how empty the glass was!
I also lost my job in November, it was seriously the best job ever! I loved the ladies I worked with and we all understood each other and had it all down, we knew what needed to be done and got it done! It was awesome. So now that holidays are over and I should be back to work, I am not and I feel sad about missing out on that. Getting paid to do what you love with awesome people....well when you lose that it is a huge let down. So I am starting a new blog to try to help myself get through 2011 better than I did 2010.
Good Luck to me! Oh no, I think I may be making a New Years resolution!
I think that's a good resolution. To try to do just a little better. Not to conquer the world (although my size 0 hope is certainly attainable) but to make 11 a bit better than 10. We can do it! I am with you! Like yesterday, I didn't drink any Diet Coke, but today, I most certainly will, because I can't take the headache anymore. But, tomorrow I will try not to again, and see if I can do the every other day thing. I am not a cold turkey girl. Let's be optimistic. Now if you moved here, I could totally help you with your resolution by going shopping with you every day.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Crystal! It's never a bad thing to set goals! I think you're off to a great start by writing your thoughts down. It helps to keep things in perspective. I'm hoping that you will have an awesome 2011! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh Cryssy...I wish you would have called me. Chad has access to stand by lists and could have helped you! When people ask if we fly a lit because it is free. We always say no...We have to fly standby. It's a big pain in the butt! I really like your new blog. My only New Years Resolution is to laugh more!!!
