I&...Aw, Eileen, thank you so much for this comment! I'm so glad we are blog friends. And I couldn't agree with this sentence more: "Sometimes we all just need to spill the soup and cry about it." Amen, sister. And then, I think, we need to be thankful for the people in our lives--the ones who we see every day and the ones we've never met!--who support us.<br /><br />xoxoMegan @ Pink O'Clockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882796098526437517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081549957826244441.post-77581021873557445122013-02-24T13:48:56.659-05:002013-02-24T13:48:56.659-05:00This post made me tear up a bit as I read. I'v...This post made me tear up a bit as I read. I've been there and during all of January I felt much like this. Some little thing set me off at the end of the day which would lead to sobbing which would lead to just a general unhappiness that I would turn inward on myself - going to that mean place where I'm hard and unkind to myself. <br /><br />Anyways, taking the time to make yourself dinner when you've got a lot going on in life is something to be commended for. A lot of people don't take the time to take care of themselves when everything else is a little flustered. So whether you spilled it or not, good for you for taking care of yourself. <br /><br />Sometimes we all need to spill the soup and just cry about it. My version of this is missing the bus. :)<br /><br />Choosing Joy is such a great mantra when the going gets rough. Thanks for reminding me to keep my chin up, too. Life is this everyday thing that we're doing right now. It's not in the future or the past. Choosing joy reminds me to live in the present. <br /><br />xx,<br />e<br /><br /><a href="http://leanerbythelake.com" rel="nofollow">http://leanerbythelake.com</a><br />eileen ragan | leaner by the lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762057441670156226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081549957826244441.post-40613925721201682082013-02-21T20:27:40.825-05:002013-02-21T20:27:40.825-05:00Thanks, Alicia! xoxoThanks, Alicia! xoxoMegan @ Pink O'Clockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882796098526437517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081549957826244441.post-7862767275114000112013-02-21T16:06:34.401-05:002013-02-21T16:06:34.401-05:00I think everyone has had at least one moment like ...I think everyone has had at least one moment like this- so sorry about the soup, but I love that you've reframed it and chosen to focus on all the positive things that are happening in your life right now! Choosing joy puts the control back in your hands and puts those frustrating moments in perspective.

I also cried hysterically over a banana cream pie that once slid riiiight into the trash can when I had JUST finished topping it with whipped cream. I was so upset--and then I started laughing because it was so ridiculous. Glad my cats were the only ones there to see <i>that</i> one. ;) xoxoMegan @ Pink O'Clockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882796098526437517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081549957826244441.post-33376328118920443992013-02-21T14:58:10.532-05:002013-02-21T14:58:10.532-05:00I burned myself on the stove the other day and sta...I burned myself on the stove the other day and started crying at my stupidity. Reading this made me feel a little better. Knowing that we can all cry a little and laugh a little at our blunders make it all worth it.

So when I'm having a not-so-ideal day I just try to remember how good life is, how easy it is here in comparison to some other places in the world. It generally works.
