.....Isn't always the easiest thing to do. Some of my closest friends often ask me how to I keep smiling and laughing with all that I have going on in my life. My answer is that you have to laugh to keep from crying at times. Being down and out doesn't fix anything. Don't get me wrong, I have my days just like everyone else. Those days when I whine and cry. I pout and get pissed. But when I'm done with those temper tantrums, nothing has changed other than minutes of my life wasted having useless pity parties. Yeah, I have about 3 full plates right now. Some of my dearest friends knows a lot of what is going on in my life but no one but me knows everything. I honestly do not remember what it is like to have a day without pain, and that sucks like hell. But at the end of the day, I choose to keep on smiling. Laughing. Being the silly, goofy, clueless person that I have always been. I don't know why I am writing all of this. Maybe it's just to help myself out. But always remember that no matter how bad you feel or how bad the situation is, a smile and a good, deep laugh, rather by yourself or with some friends, will always make you feel better.
So take a minute or two today and do something to make you feel good. Something to make you smile from deep within your heart. I promise, the Happy Country Girl wouldn't steer you wrong.
Smile....Make today the best day you've ever had!!!
Hugs & Love,
