I had another post typed up, about how I was struggling with being positive the last couple days. But I just didn't feel right about it, so I gave up and decided to go to Wal-mart. It's a beautiful day so I rolled the windows down, blasted my music, and just enjoyed the drive. I even took the long way to get there. Oh, and I was rocking my new sunglasses, legit Ray-bans that my brother found and gave to me! I got to Wal-mart and discovered, to my great excitement, that Glee's newest CD was out! So I bought it.I rocked out the whole way home, windows down, hair going crazy, singing at the top of my lungs. Luckily I didn't pass any people walking that might have overheard my impromptu karaoke, so I didn't have to worry about how I sounded. Let me tell you, nothing cheers me up like singing to Glee while driving. Except maybe cats. Specifically Maru (youtube it). Weird, I know. But I'm sure everyone has those quirky things that make them happy.
Anyway, I got home and went to finish writing that other post, but just deleted it instead. No pity parties here. Yes, being home makes it hard for me to smile sometimes, especially when "home" isn't home. But fighting for my joy is just that: a fight. I can't give up so easily. This spring break is going to be tough, but I'll get through it. I just need to work a little harder. And after all, it's only one week. And I'll get to see my brother. And my best friend. And, before and after our spring break trip, I'll get to spend time with my kitty. Just keep focusing on the positives, Laura.
I love singing with the windows down too! It is one of the best parts about this time of the year
ReplyDeleteOne thing that always seems to put me in a good mood is being a little obnoxious. My friend and I will start to fake laugh (very loudly) and then before we know it we're crying and in severe pain because we can't stop laughing.
ReplyDeleteOf course, everyone is glaring at us at that point, but who cares? Not me!
(Personally, I'll stick with singing along to Wicked, Phantom, and Susan Boyle over Glee... yuck! One of our favorite songs is Susan Boyle's "The End of the World").
