You know, there are just days that life looks exceptionally better than other days. Your life, my life, whoever's life. I've had a little trouble sleeping this week and that just stinks.
I try to live life to the fullest and with that, I have been taking this whole new approach to life. Instead of waiting for things to happen to me, I make executive decisions and try to act aggressively. I don't think it's really been working out for me, but I figured it's better to take a chance at things than to wonder what would have happened if I had...
That's what I did Sunday night. I couldn't sleep and I stayed up writing "I wish I..." over and over and the weird part is that I couldn't finish the sentence. I could either write all the things I wish I had done actively in my life's decisions or I could change that sentence to "I will..."
And I did. I made a choice and it was an aggressive choice. Not very befitting of a lady, but come on people, what do I really have to lose? I mean, I'm already unemployed. I don't have a place to live. I lost my kitty a year and a half ago. Why not lose my dignity in the process? (Trust me, that's not what I really thought because I know how much I have to lose that goes beyond a job and a home...family is first and my friends are second...well, they are right there next to my kitties).
So my dignity has officially left the Miller household. Along with a painting I did for a friend. I'll post it here. I might as well. I mean, it's not like it's a secret. I've been working on a bunch of little art pieces.
This fish is from Charley Harper's ginormous coffee table book that I thank Christie for (maybe not to her email address but as a general thought) everytime I look at it. It was a gift she gave me for helping her move. A gift that I wanted very badly and she knew, but I would never buy myself. It was a little pricey. And I love it. Anyway, the fish is an image in there and I just repainted it on a canvas for a friend of mine whom I thought would get a kick out of it.
Yes, I am a dork. But I really enjoy doing things for others - until it kicks me in the ass of course.
The only reason for this post is because I feel like I teased you for a few days and needed to give you a little fluff in between the boring moments of my life. Which is, like, every single day of my life because we all know I don't hardly do anything exciting or really worth writing about...I just like to write and this is my get out of jail free card for writing.
And I needed to write about the big ass mistake I made in sending out a letter that I should probably have never written. But, as you all know, my favorite place for my foot is in my mouth.
Also, I realize that I have used the post title lyrics before, but I used them in conjunction with the whole quote...not on their own so I'm good to go.
