It’s really been one of those weeks where most things have done just about everything except fall in to place. After several conversations with close friends and my mom, I have also realized it hasn’t been one these weeks for only me. So, if you also lost power with minutes left of getting ready, felt forced to accept winter, felt bummed your friend can’t visit because she’s sick, or even felt inadequate in any facet, then this post is for you!

When I have these days, it’s so simple and tirelessly frustrating focusing on ONLY the negatives. Then I feel lost in an endless downward spiral. This usually results in disregarding all the wonderful things that have also happened this week. I am not naïve to the fact that as humans, we will have negative experiences and bad days, but it can always get better (and for those who are now saying, yes and it can always get worse, it most certainly will with that attitude.)

My relationships have played a key role in my crazy week. I’ve said it before, but I really do have the best support system. My boyfriend, friends and family are so encouraging. I realize they’re also a little biased and usually trying to make me feel better, but they really do make these kinds of days and weeks easier. Those who help you the same way, keep them around. Side note, I also bought an emerald green couch and that was an immediate mood lifter.

One thing is for certain; we’re always going to have bad days. Another thing that is for certain; we can always get through them. It’s not always black and white, and I’ve learned there isn’t always one answer or one solution to a problem. I’m going into this weekend knowing I have a solid support system. I am going to start planning for one of my best friend’s upcoming weddings, I am getting ready to launch a really cool project with one of my friends, and most importantly, I am looking forward to a new week filled with new beginnings.
