Bestie Time

Today was a great day! I slept in because I could not fall asleep last night. I tossed and turned and just could not fall asleep. SO it was about 12:30 by the time I finally pulled myself from bed. Easter was more than content to just keep on sleeping and only roused once I asked if she needed to go potty. With a lazy stretch, she decided that it was probably a good idea to get up. She had her breakfast after taking a nice walk in the warming sun. By then, it was after 1 p.m. and I debated about whether or not I should eat. After all, I had plans to meet up with the bestie for an Olive Garden date. I decided I could skip lunch, and have a nice dinner. Boy, was it worth it! Not only was the food delicious, the company was even better!! We had such a great time catching up, that we didn't even believe that we had sat there for 4 hours. The place was dead when we left. I think it's safe to say that we quite enjoying talking with one another. Of course we had to discuss how excited we were that our girls weekend is coming up.... yes, the one where we will be seeing the Chip and Dales. Only 33 more days, but who's counting? Today has just left me incredibly happy and in such a great mood! I was even able to book a romantic getaway from me and the boyfriend for June. Lots to look forward to in the coming months. Last time I felt this good, I was in the emergency room the next day with my mom. I hope I can keep this high for a little while before life punches me in the gut again! Feeling like life is going the right way is a welcomed feeling. The right people are in my life, and the negativity has left. Each and every day I write this blog, I feel just a little more negativity leaving my body. Internal peace isn't far off, and even if life DOES decide to punch me in the gut again, I'm acquiring the right tools to successfully overcome the challenges and learning to always focus on the good so as to find the positives of the situation. For example, the ordeal we went through with my mom just last week made me appreciate my mom SO much more. Last Wednesday while I was in the ER with her, I honestly thought I was losing another parent. I have never seen her in so much pain, and I pray that I never have to see that again. But in that moment I focused on the love I have for her and on how much she really means to me. She is my best friend. She understands me on levels that no one else can understand. And I still need my mommy. So long story short, this blog is doing so much more for me than I ever intended it to, which I am surprised and thankful for.
