It’s been one of those days. Nothing particularly bad has happened or gone wrong, yet I feel under the weather and slightly disenchanted with life. I find that the best cure for these types of feelings is to focus on the positive things in life, rather than the negative. Today, I am going to do that in the form of gratitude.
So, today I am grateful for…
As I was going through school, my mom kept one of those books where at the beginning of each school year you log your age, weight, school photo, and what you want to be when you grow up.
In grade 1, I wanted to be a ballerina. I distinctly remember that I was taking a bath and my mom popped her head in to ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I answered immediately, “ballerina”.
My mom hesitated, and then responded, “Great! Did you want to take ballet this year too?”
“Nope,” I responded, and went back to playing with my toys. End of conversation.

I’m 27 today. Like my 26th, 25th and all the birthdays before this one, I realize that I don’t know it all. I don’t have all the answers to why we’re here, where we came from, what we should be doing, etc. All I know is what I’ve lived thus far. I am not wise beyond my years, and I certainly don’t think I’m better than any readers out there. I am just a 27 year old girl sharing what I’ve learned in my 27 years of life.

The other day I sat down to write a blog post, and I immediately had the idea of updating my readers on where I am at with my journey in Atlanta.
I’ll talk about adjusting and how we all do it, I thought to myself.
Easy-peasy.
I sat down to write it and nothing came. [Read more…] about The Frustrations of Creating Stuff
