Glass will eventually be half full, just not right now

I started typing earlier on and after about two paragraphs, I realised what I had to say was very depressing and it was about to get worse.  *hit delete all*  I'm not a pessimist, I don't think...  Yet I can't really call myself an optimist.  I'd like to be all cheery and hopeful all the time, but when you get disappointed or hurt, it becomes difficult to remember that it does get better again.  Right now I'm in that space, that space of feeling sorry for myself, wanting to crawl on my yoga mat and cry, that space of not remembering that I'll be okay again.  Whilst this is not the smart option, it's the temporarily "easier" and lazy option.  It's like giving yourself the thumbs up for staying in bed all day in your pjs and not brushing your hair and eating cereal at 8 o'clock at night.  Then of course there's also the let's-think-over-every-tragic-incident-that's-ever-happened-in-my-life option, and let's be honest, there's no happy ending there.  

I know I'm going to be okay, eventually I will get out of the pjs, straighten my hair with my GHD, eat cereal in the morning only and maybe even put on a pair of earrings.  But today?  No, not today.  I need to lie around in my pjs for just a little bit longer...

Everything keeps going right

Have you ever had those days where you think to yourself, "I'm the luckiest person in the world!"?  Lately I've been having a lot of those days, and wondering to myself what have I done to deserve this?  Everything lately feels like a Toyota advert (everything keeps going right!) and I just have to say, I feel lucky to be me!  Did that come out almost a little bit facetious?  Because I'm dead serious when I say that!  Did I mention how lucky and grateful I am?  In case I didn't get my point across in this post, well, I am super lucky and super grateful!

I don't think I can get over how well things have been going for me lately.  In less than a month I've somehow managed to get almost 7 yoga classes to teach a week, and most just somehow landed in my lap.  The people I've been meeting have been so wonderful in terms of giving advice and suggestions on how to go about getting more jobs etc.

The few classes I've started to teach have been wonderful.  That feeling of indescribable satisfaction the first time a student came up to me after a class and said, "Thank you, that was a great class.".  Just a few simple words yet it just made my day.

Apparently, this is what life is like when you do what you were born to do :)
