Attitude.

We are in charge of our attitudes, the way we react to things, the way we accept or deny things, the way we approach life and situations. Life and the way you see it or experience it revolves around the attitude you put forth.

So many of us wake up daily with a chip on our shoulder, we just cant seem to shake, but in reality, is it worth that crappy vibe you put out? Is it worth snapping at someone who is briefly attempting to speak with you? In all actuality, no.

If you are in a horrible mood, or put out a vibe that affects everyone around you, stop and think, what are you really mad about, what is really bothering you, can you fix it, can anyone other than you fix it, is being rude or inconsiderate toward someone going to make you feel better? Probably not. There are things in life that will always come up, hurdles to jump, mountains to climb… you have to be willing to put forth the effort to overcome these things, and hope the people in your life are going to be alongside you as long as you allow it.

Be ready for the next hurdle in life by approaching instances with confidence and exude your  positive feelings toward it.

The Same

The road of life is never ending. Even if your life is still and your head sleeps against the same pillow every night, your life is constantly in motion heading down the road. You won't see everything you want to see. You won't go everywhere you want to go. You won't always be able to share the experience with everyone you want to. You can whine about it, or enjoy the adventure.  Filling ones life with positivity, happiness, laughter can only be done by yourselve. Not one person can change the person YOU are. 

Be the person you are happiest being, don't allow others to bring you down, or change your perspective on things.

 As we get older we change. We change our opinions, we change the way we look, we change the things we enjoy.. but underneath all that change, we are the same as we were before the heartache, before the life lessons, before the pain, suffering, happiness and everything else that comes with life.. we are still the same person, just with a little more insight, a little more knowledge.. a little more strength to take on the everyday tasks that once felt like they were too much to handle.. a little more understanding when it comes to things that may frustrate someone.. a little more patience.. a little more sympathy for others, but still, no matter how much change is done, underneath it all, we are the same.

Lactose Intolerant

So I am lactose intolerant, this means (usually) I can’t eat any dairy without my stomach completely hurting….

Creamers in my coffee, milk in my cereal, yogurt, ice cream.. cheese…… it is not fun.. they make these lactose pills you can take when you are eating or drinking something, and sometimes they work.. but sometimes they don’t..  it is a real inconvenience at times because all I really would like to do is enjoy a cup of coffee with some hazelnut creamer and not feel sick to my stomach… but I guess that won’t be happening any time soon, and I won’t be “quitting” coffee, so let’s hope the lactose pills work more often than not.. ha-ha.

I’m glad I’m not allergic to dairy, I can still consume it… sometimes it affects me and sometimes not. It is a weird thing.

Anyone else deal with any sort of lactose problem or a food allergy?

This West Coast Girl............

Where should I begin?

This west coast girl, born in Cali, grew up in Nevada,

is now living in Michigan….  Since August 2011.

From Vegas (NV) to Rochester (MI)..

Well the opportunity to better myself and the chance of having a real career are two major things that brought me here.

Since moving here, I have come to realize that I am a very well rounded individual.

 With my experience in so many different fields, it definitely gives me the opportunity to do well in a place that lacks the unique-ness in people, a place that lacks the “drive” to do more than just “go to work”, a place where many people my age have already been married and have a child or two..

I am among the few females my age, in this state, that do not have any children and are not yet married. (not saying I don’t want that, but I know that’s down the road for me)

I feel like that may work in my favor here in Michigan.

I have been working at a great Pharmaceutical company for the last 6 months and absolutely love what I do, regardless if this turns into a career or not, it is purely awesome experience to add to the roster of things I can and have done.

I have a drive to be the best I can be in my lifetime….

No matter what I WILL succeed. I know this with every fiber of my being.

This journey we call life, this randomness will only happen the way you make it happen.. sometimes life is crazy, stressful and hard, but we always find a way to make it happier, more comfortable, and less intense.

........And that's my 1st entry... just a little babble by me. :) ..........
