"1000 Awesome Things"

Good morning all!  My ritual in the morning when I get to work is to sign on, log in my time, start my programs I need for the day, put my lunch in the fridge, check my work email and then hit up www.cnn.com .  I was reading the most depressing story about a woman who murdered her 2 children...ugh, terrible!  No details, but anyway, after I was done reading the article, I scrolled to the bottom and there were some other stories you could click on.  A link caught my attention, 8 Feel-Good Websites To Brighten Your Day .  Well that was definitely better than this terrible story I had just read!  So I clicked on it, as should you!  One specific site caught my attention, 1000 Awesome Things .  The moment I started reading what this blog had to offer I smiled from ear to ear!  I just wanted to share this with everyone in hopes that I could bring a smile to your face today :-)

Find Your Move

I've been MIA, my bad.  I am getting down to the wire to get everything done for the wedding, so needless to say, I have been a bit tied up and stressed out!  However, I did have a quick second to check out a few of my favorite websites; one of them being www.cookinglight.com .  I came across this cool article called "Ultimate Move Finder" (Ultimate Move Finder)  .  It breaks down the entire body and gives specific exercises for toning.  Give it 5 minutes and check it out!  Beat that stress with a little exercise.  Cheers!

I found this really great stress reliever...

Here we are!  The greatest thing known to man!  Hahahahaha this really made me laugh because I am feeling slightly stressed with making sure all details are in order for the wedding and also with finding a new job.  Life is hard.  Obviously, this is not something I just learned; however it is something I am experiencing.  I suppose the only way to deal with it all is to look at the bright side.  I will be a Mrs. in about 50 days.  I have my health, my family, my friends and that's all I need in life.  I thank you all for your constant support and help.  Where would I be without you?  No where!  What would I be grateful for?  Nothing!  What would I smile about?  Nothing, and that would be a sad day, when Alison does not smile!  I had someone at work the other day say, "You know, I love seeing you run around this place because you are always smiling, no matter what you are doing!"  I was touched by that comment because that is one thing I do try to do all the time:  Smile :-)

"There once was a man from Nantucket..."

And I'm glad I did not meet him!  I just got back from a spectacular 4 day trip to Nantucket Island with some wonderful ladies.  We had so much fun relaxing, enjoying some cocktails, and going to see the Savage Brothers play at the Chicken Box for 3 nights!  Amazing!  I could not have asked for a better time.  Although, I wish I could have enjoyed the stroll around the island with Greg, it was still a beautiful time.  I look forward to enjoying it next year with him.
