Coulda, Woulda, Wasn't! - 12/5/13

I have been sick for a solid week now.  I can't sleep laying down or I can't breathe, therefore I didn't sleep very well last night...again.  This morning I woke up with an awful migraine.  I got up, took some drugs, and had to lay back down for a few extra zzz's to kick the head throbbing.  When I finally got up, 45 minutes later than usual, I realized I had showered last night and not done my hair...hello wind tunnel head and 25 unplanned minutes taming the blonde beast.  And to top if off, Aunt Flow came to visit today (that's torture enough on its own, but even more of a struggle when that means I'm not pregnant...again)...did I mention I still needed to walk my dogs?

What could have been the worst morning in many moons turned out to be... just fine...actually pretty darn good!  On a usual Chelsea (aka Negative Nancy) morning, this would have been the end of the world for me resulting in a miserable, excuse filled day.  For some reason, this particular morning I decided it wasn't going to phase me.  I decided that I would just text my boss(es) and let them know that I was going to be late because, well, I didn't have any other choice. I would just walk my cute puppies who love me, curl my hair that is freshly colored, be excited we get to start another round of fertility treatments 3 -4 weeks earlier than usual, and bask in the extra snoozing I got this morning and then I'd head into work when it all got done...turns out I found the positive amid the gunk that was my morning. 

What a world of difference this all made!

I chose to be happy, despite my circumstances.  I'm not sure what it was this morning, but I am sure grateful and definitely going to try this more often!!!  There is always something good to cling to...most of the time multiple good things.  We only get one shot at life and we might as well make the best of it.  We have to CHOOSE to make it that way.

Thank you Optimistic Gods for the blessing that this crazy morning is for me :)  Here's to the rest of a great day!

P.S.  Maybe the fact that it's only 20 days 'til Christmas has something to do with the happy demeanor ;)
