Regaining the Optimism

"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." - Anonymous

I hope to start living my life based on this quote. We can't always control the way things work out, and even when we try to control them they don't always turn out how we hope. That along with the mantra "I am here now" - which I learned at yoga - I think will make for a much happier life. I need to live more in the moment, and make the best of the way things are.

I've been kind of a downer this month; definitely not my usual optimistic self. So, this is super important for me to improve immediately, as I am much happier when I'm optimistic:)

Tonight I spent the evening with a new (and wonderful) friend, and it was really a great time because I got to talk a lot of things out with her. She doesn't know the pre-Boston Carri, so it was nice to be able to talk with someone who isn't biased by past knowledge. She made me feel better about the way I've been feeling lately, and I really needed that validation. I'm so excited to have found a great friend who I really feel I can talk to. I hope this friendship will help me regain the optimism that I've been lacking.

I hope you'll all take the time to regain the optimism in your lives!
