Monday Motivation (with extra sparkles)

Some days, we struggle. The scale hasn't moved (or it moves in the wrong direction), your coworkers tempt you with "just one bite" or a magical crack-donut, or just THINKING of another protein shake makes you gag like a long-haired cat after a long bath.

Some days suck. But remember, it could be worse.

You COULD be stuck in a t-shirt with an itchy tag and underwear that rides up your left butt-cheek, seatbelted into a lopsided chair with one leg shorter than the others that wobbles every time you take a deep breath, be serenaded by Pauly Shore playing the "Frozen" soundtrack on a recorder flute set an eighth-step out of tune, while George RR Martin sits patiently in front of you to spoil not only his unreleased "Game of Thrones" books, but Every. Single. Show. you're planning to binge-watch on Netflix in the next six months. There's also a basket of adorable kittens off in the corner, playing with a ball of yarn and feasting on tuna, but if you even think about petting them, you break out in flaming hives. All at once.

Keep your chin up and keep trucking along. When you think about it, you're doing pretty well, and things are going to be OK.

HaHa, sounds like a typical workday!

I'm still trying to read the first Game of Thrones book. Damn that's a big book, its got over a thousand freakin pages in it, with a gazillion freakin characters with their own freakin story lines. I'm stickin with Dragon girl & a couple of other characters to follow on HBO.

I think I'd risk the hives, I luv kittens!

I'll admit that I haven't read it either. I love fantasy novels, but I have a TERRIBLE time keeping track of character names, and with such a large cast I've gotten way confused!

Some things in life are bad
They can really make you mad
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle
Don't grumble, give a whistle
And this'll help things turn out for the best...

And...always look on the bright side of life... 
Always look on the light side of life...

If life seems jolly rotten
There's something you've forgotten
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing.
When you're feeling in the dumps
Don't be silly chumps
Just purse your lips and whistle - that's the thing.

And...always look on the bright side of life... 
Always look on the light side of life...

For life is quite absurd
And death's the final word
You must always face the curtain with a bow.
Forget about your sin - give the audience a grin
Enjoy it - it's your last chance anyhow.

So always look on the bright side of death 
Just before you draw your terminal breath

Life's a piece of ****
When you look at it
Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true.
You'll see it's all a show
Keep 'em laughing as you go
Just remember that the last laugh is on you.

Thanks for that deep, thought provoking post.

I really think you have a good future as a life coach/motivator - have you thought about a career change?

If the new job lets me bring my dogs to work, I'd absolutely consider it.
