*Sigh*

Ok, so a good friend of mine called yesterday to see how things were going, chat, check up on life, carpools, my training for running, etc.....After getting of the phone with her, I was thinking..."What the???" The conversation just SUCKED and it was my fault. I'm sure that she thinks nothing of the conversation and doesn't feel like there was anything even WRONG with it. But it has bothered me ever since. WHY might you ask???!!!! The conversation consisted of ME telling HER all of the BAD things that were going on in my life...the STRUGGLES I was having...the dentist (cavities), the chiropractor (telling me I can't run), the money, the worries, and on and on and on and on. I DO NOT like conversations like that. I don't like someone calling me to talk and then me going on about completely NEGATIVE things. And ONLY talking about the NEGATIVE things....why not talk about happy, positive things?? I LIKE talking about happy things. So why would I even bring up those "other" things? I know that sometimes we all need to VENT and just talk about the yucky things, but I don't like conversations that only consist of those things. I want to be HAPPY and when I'm consistly talking, thinking about the apparent "bad" things that are going on, it brings me down and I'm not being the best mom, wife, daughter that I can be. So, here's to a NEW day, full of happy things...
