I choose to be happy!

Things have been tough lately. I've been working WAY too much and now uni is finishing up so the stress of assignments and exams has hit me. On top of that i'm seeing a guy who is really sweet but typical Emily is over analysing everything. I'm going to America in August, and i'm stressed about money. I've also not had a real home since September. I've been a bit down, and i'm sure lack of sleep has contributed to that... But today i'm choosing to be happy:

* I'm almost finished uni after 4 long years working my butt off at work and uni! WOHOO
* I only have one more assignment and one more exam! WOHOO
* I haven't had to work that much this week, i've got stuff to do but I'm not pressured! WOHOO
* This guy says he likes me, and seems really sweet... that's it. If he's not right there are plenty other fishies in the sea! WOHOO
* I'm going to America in August and fulfilling a long term dream! WOHOO
* I'm going to get to see friends i haven't seen in years, who actually understand me and are as crazy as me! WOHOO
* I have somewhere warm to sleep, i have that many things to make me comfortable its not funny. I have food to eat. So many ppl have less! And fingers crossed i'll have a permanent home in a month or so! WOHOO
* I had a pretty good nights sleep last night! WOHOO

So today. I choose to be happy...

Red Marbles

I got an email today called 'Red Marbles'. I'm not going to post the whole story, but i thought these were cool so thought i'd blog them. Some i've heard before, but I just like them what can i say???
I want to live the kinda life that leaves a mark... What am I doing today to leave my mark???

We will not be remembered by our words but by our kind deeds.
Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away...

Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles…
A fresh pot of coffee you didn't make yourself…

An unexpected phone call from an old friend…
Green lights on your way to work…
The fastest line at the grocery store…
A good sing-along song on the radio…
Your keys found right where you left them…

It's not what you gather but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived.
