Red lipstick.. all on the paper..

It's finally spring..and the weather is beautiful. The weather sings happily as you walk around, especially with the puppy. So our life is settling down now..sort of. At least the apartment is up and running, and Mia is actually behaving. We're in training.. but I truly feel like she knows we're home. It really is funny where life takes you. One minute you're lonely, lost, questioning every move you've ever made. Then the next, you're appreciative of the second chance you've been given, and your mind starts racing and filling with wonderful ideas of the things you want to accomplish. Now, motivation, that's a whole nother story. As I think of positive ideas, I write them on post-its and stick them on the wall above my desk. The current ones include.. "I am not a loser, I'm accomplsihed!", "If you can't make anyone happy, make yourself happy", "and "You must love you first before anyone else!". I'm trying to change my self-image..thinking of yourself as a "loser" because of divorce, and unemployment, is not realistic. I am and RN, finishing my BSN, I have my OWN apartment (finally) and taking care of myself and my puppy. I also have a life (well 26 years) of experience to guide my future. Current bucket list includes: (aside from the list of traveling I want to do); Learn Italian, Become Buddhist, Finish my BSN then possibly go onto my MSN, and finish the Feminine Mystique. That's updated daily, but that is the current. So, I feel throughout life everyone has a theme song.. it can change from time to time due to what is going on.. my current is Part of Me by Katy Perry. The part that is carried around with me daily is;

Now look at me, I'm sparkling
A firework, a dancing flame
You won't ever put me out again
I'm glowing, oh woah oh
So you can keep the diamond ring
It don't mean nothing anyway
In fact you can keep everything
Yeah, yeah
Except for me
This is the part of me that you're never gonna ever take away from me, no

Cheers to everyone's day! Especially the Phillies.. opening day! Best season of the year <3
