Spring is on its way, finally. Love is in the air my friends; engagements and weddings galore! I've been lighthearted and happy for all involved. I still have a nagging feeling in my stomach that I missed the boat on something when it came to dating. (Author's Note: Please see I'm from the Island of Misfit Toys... and you? for further insight). I can honestly say that right now out of my broad group of friends: grade school, high school, MSU, sorority, work, I know literally only 3 people who aren't at least "seeing" someone. This would normally send me into a tailspin of emotions. Yet, I've managed to surprise myself this time around.
I think that the self-help books combined with some more spiritual insight in my life lately has brought a weird sense of peace to my mind. Interestingly enough, this is a first for me. I am not mentally freaking out over all of this. Sure, I feel kinda left out of the party. But I just know this time around, I'm not going to be the last guest waiting there for my entire life. It's just not right for me now. Okay, enough blah blah blah on my life. Time for kudos. I'm sending out some positive gratitude for the following: an upcoming nuptial to take place in Texas in a month and all of the people I haven't seen in forever that I get to spend an entire weekend with, flowers finally blooming, people that share similar life views with me (even if she is an older celebrity), getting to watch my favorite movie Beauty & The Beast while baby-sitting, and always and forever books. Also, gratitude for spring cleaning. Out with the negative energy that I've had in 2011, in with the new and positive. Wishing everyone some time for some spiritual and physical cleansing :)
