Hard times and simple joys.

Yesterday, in a word, sucked.  It was true Monday Madness.

I'm not the type to air out dirty laundry, especially when it doesn't just involve myself, but let's just say that things at work aren't okay; being blamed for something that's not your fault by people you thought were friends is not fun.  A coworker I consider one of my best friends even came to my desk just to yell at me.  And though I don't have to go to work today, I'm counting on being shamed more when I go back tomorrow.  Whoopee.

That's why I thought it was appropriate to make-up Monday's Inspiration today!  There's never a bad time to bring some more positivity in to this world.  And its so important that, even through those times in which bad things are unjustly happening to you and you feel more alone than ever, you hold your head high and continue sharing love.

Why does it seem that its during the tough, lonely times that we tend to find simple joys and build a strong sense of self?  Though, maybe it's just me.

Today's simple joys:

Watching Mirror Mirror (LOVE Lily Collins and the styling is ridic)

Working on homework

Drinking coffee

Doing laundry (better than lighting a candle)

Loving on my dog

Keep holding on, lovelies.  New beautiful things are waiting right around the corner.  And go find the simple joys, you won't regret it.

XO, Jenni

No, I did not die.

I worked, slept, started school, loved on my mom (she visited Germany!) and got two more jobs.

Let's just say that my life has been filled to the brim and any extra time was devoted to investing in friendships and absorbing as many books as possible before this seventeen credit semester started.


Can I just say that Divergent is amaze???  I'm saying it.  And it's the truth.  I read both books in two days, and then read the first book again.  There was even some picture floating around on my instragram with the hashtag "#obsessed".


To kick off this week, let's get some love and encouragement!

 

 

 

It's nice to see some kind, inspiring words on days that are harder to get through, as Mondays tend to be, so this will probably be a regular thing.  Maybe some clever name for these posts will come to me someday...but right now?  Yeah, three hours of sleep and a giant cup of coffee is not much to incite momentous creativity.


Current stats:
I'm currently taking 17 credits for my BS in Health Management.
My dog's still ridiculously cute.
Jon, the Hubs, my main man, still has red hair and a great butt.
We're all surviving.
