Hello bloggers. Today's title was inspired by my friend Whitney, who A) has a birthday today, and B) is a beautiful person. So today, you are all squirrels.
Anywho, I hope you are having a wonderful day, and if you aren't, try on a smile for size. It may help out a bit. Today has been a fairly good day. I received a job offer today from my local grocery store, and I am SUPER pumped to get started. I will be working with my best friend, Alyssa, which is even more exciting!
It should keep me busy this summer, and I hope it's some great experience. It's not my first job, but I'm looking forward to it.
As you all know very well, life has this not-so-exciting habit of throwing us curveballs, and then sometimes, it likes to go ahead and run towards us with a baseball bat charging full steam ahead. We can feel pretty beaten down and broken, and it feels like it gets a little harder to get back up each time it happens. And don't worry...it happens to everyone. I promise it's not just you.
Life isn't fair, you guys. That's all there is to it.
And as much as I repeat and repeat and repeat that phrase to myself, and as much as I know for sure that it's true, it still isn't the easiest pill to swallow. But the upside is this...life doesn't have to be fair. Life doesn't owe us anything. It's not going to be fair because we ask it to or we want it to (I promise there is an upside, you guys). And life certainly isn't going to try it's best to make it easy for us.
But the upside is this...we have two metaphorical and even literal feet that just keep walking. Life may have a nasty habit of bringing us down, but people in general have this pretty exciting habit of continually trying and moving forward.
No matter what's bringing you down, you can hop on those two metaphorical/literal feet and be a little bit stronger, a little bit better, a little bit wiser because of it. And then all the sudden you have the awesome story to tell about how the baseball bat was coming for you and you are still here to tell the story. How great is that?
Life may not be easy. But there is so much it has to offer to you. So get back on your feet and keep putting one in front of the other. I believe in you guys, and honestly, life believes in you.
Go own today, because you are so much STRONGER than whatever gets thrown at you. Believe me.
I love you guys, you voluminous squirrels. And a very happy birthday to my friend Whitney.
