Everything Will Be Okay

Today has been a MUCH better day. Yesterday must have been a freak anomaly, because today I was the complete opposite and back to my usual self. Much more balanced, focused and hopeful (above all else). Everything is going to be okay. The sky didn't fall, the world didn't end, I'm alive to live another day, so everything will be okay...

I went to bed early last night. I figured a day that awful just needed to end, so sleep was my salvation. I woke up feeling much better for it. Not great, but not terrible. I think I was right on the edge. Either something was going to tip me into negativity or I was going to pull myself out of the abyss and salvage my composure. Over the course of the morning I could feel myself getting stronger (mentally). I've had plenty of time to think about everything and whilst I may not have a handle on the future (who does?), I'm living the best life I can right now.

I had a major breakthrough this afternoon. I did something different with my therapy free-time. Instead of sitting at Starbucks, scrolling through Facebook wall posts on my phone, I decided to go for a walk on the Clear Creek Trails. At first it was just a walk. I was alone with my multitude of thoughts, but then something broke through the chatter in my head. A loud, distinct, authoritative voice. It said "What's done is done. The past is irrelevant. Do your best, that's all you can do. Tomorrow will take care of itself." I don't believe in God. I know it was just me finally listening to my own reason, but it was like an epiphany. My mantra for the day became "do your best, that's all you can do". I chanted it to myself with every step that hit the ground. By the end of my two mile walk, it had thoroughly sunk in. If I do my best everyday, in all things, I'll set myself up for success tomorrow. Thus, tomorrow will take care of itself! Everything will be okay.

I just got home from work (VS). I was only there for three hours, then they sent me home. At last check we were missing the day by over $3,000. Payroll was high, so I got to come home early. The few hours I was there went by super-fast. I was working on a project. Removing the old price tags from all the cotton bras that didn't have updated prices on them. 392 total. Of course, I straightened out all the drawers and color coded them based on the rainbow (ROYGBIV) as is merchandise flow standard. I must have handled at least 600-700 bras. Crazy. It doesn't seem like that many would fit in those drawers, but they do.

That's it. My day in a nutshell. I think I'll get something to eat and seduce my husband (like you really wanted to know that tidbit of information) ;)
