"Its a beautiful day, dont let it get away...."

Today has been great, so I thought I'd post this.
Five reasons why today has been so great: 1)Just one class 2)I teach a group fit class tonight, which means some monayyy-thank goodness because window gazing was getting old, I need to buy something. 3)Im eating pizza...which makes me instantly think of "pep nips" ....That was for you Anna Grace and I just laughed until I cried thinking of that ridiculous song. 4) I danced around my room to Rihanna ... sounds silly I know but it was liberating, get up and doo it! 5)Organization is back in my life, finally. Planner is filled out, clothes are washed, room is clean.
Carpe Diem! Go on...seize your day

Overload.
"It's what we believe about ourselves that determines how others see us"
How true is that? I made myself a little list to check off, hopefully it can help.
Laugh, laugh alot
Find something that takes my breath away
Think positive
Have love - love for everyone (lets be honest..sometimes I'd rather not...but I'll try)
Stop existing, Start living
Look into the mirror and tell yourself your beautiful
So self, lets do this!
While im blogging, let me talk a little more...about some Motherly Advice
In the midst of telling my mom about some personal rift raff dumb argument, as a result of my overanalyzing, I had - she tells me ...the best thing you could do is...Just Shut Your Mouth....umm ouch mom...but hey lets be serious. Awesome advice? I think so.... Sometimes in the heat of the moment when all I want to do, I mean reallly want to do is scream, throw a plate (not really a plate..just something that breaks), or feel sorry for myself (how ridiculous); if I could just shut up and take a breather I could probably elminate half of the petty things that stress me out. Ive never been so thankful to hear my mom say shut up.
And since I have been really bad at this, let me talk a little more...just a little more
I taught my first zumba class saturday..it was a SUCCESS. I have the BEST partner, Jessie, to help me and had a ton of fun. So excited to bring something new to Wellness. Cant wait for the next one. And I teach my first one all alone this week in Statesboro, whats up nerves? Other than that my weekend consisted of fried fish. Seriously I ate catfish two nights in a row. Deeeeelicious. Shoutout to Herbs and Chester Deans.
The rest of my weekend consisted of saying goodbye to one of the sweetest little ladies I have ever known. So blessed to have called her my "Aunt Stelle" I can only hope my life speaks echoes long after Im gone like I know hers will. She will be missed and I loved her so. I will cherish the love she showed, the snappy bites and biscuits she fed me and all of the little lessons she taught me. Once again, Im so glad she wrote a chapter in my little life book.

Im in ya back...
Pretty sure God gave me all the laughter I'd ever need when he put Rex, Kasey and Callie into my life. Let me just give some insight....After coming home from work last Friday, Ma decides to tell me my pants are to tight to wear to the ballgame. Of course my 10 year old best friend, Kasey, chimes in and says "Mom, Katie is 21 so I think she knows how to dress herself." Like always I thank her and she tells me "Yeah girl, you know I'm in ya back" ... meaning "yeah girl, I've got your back" I laugh everytime I think about it. Seriously the funniest kid I know. Such a proud big sister. I thank God everyday that he added them to my life book. I cant think of anything sweeter or more precious than living day to day knowing they "are in my back" :)
NOT RELEVANT.......BUT AMAZING

Reality Check
I know I should probably post something about this being my first blog and blah blah blah. Im bored from that first simple sentence. So how about something a little deeper...a little expression...a little venting and self inspiration...
Spiral. Same stupid spiral. Maybe, just maybe if I'd give myself point five seconds to breathe and think, I could climb my way back to the top. Five years. Same story. Same results. Same tears. Hello Katie! This is your life, take hold of it, change it. So...in this moment of desperation, I'm wiping the slate clean and making some vows to myself. Seriously. To love myself and accept my failures. No one, absolutely no one is perfect. So why on Earth would I think I could bypass failure? I will never be the perfect person I pressure myself to be. So, as of 11:24 PM on a Monday night, I accept it. Failure is a good thing - keeps us sane. Makes us human. It does not define us, it just teaches us...molds us. Next point - I vow to love myself, to have a relationship with all my dreams and "want to's." I may not be a size zero victoria's secret model but sooo whattt? I have some good qualities (hello self-compliment). Time to bring my strengths to light and out of hiding. Adios weaknesses. And enough with all the negative - its annoying. Vow number three - get rid of that nasty bring on some refreshment. Im in dire need of that, shower me. So here's to focusing on the good, the change, and myself. Cheers to letting it be.
