It's not Thriday

Last week we had a Thriday and it was glorious. Today we have a rainy miserable Thursday.

Rainy miserable Thursdays make me want to do a few things....not wake up at 5:45 to shower. Not get dressed, not leave bed. Not do a thing.

Instead I did wake up at 5:45, I did get dressed. Although I just put on yoga pants my comfiest sweater....and I brought slippers to work today.

I don't have too much to bitch about today except I don't understand what lien's are and money is still the worst.

I was looking through my Facebook memories today and this quote came up and I have no idea where I got it from but my 16 year old self felt inspired to post it as a mysterious status. The quote goes:

"What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us."

16 year old me probably had no idea what this meant except it sounded so profound and intellectual and confused a lot of dumb boys on Facebook.

23 year old Shawna kind of gets it now. We shouldn't worry about the things we have done in the past, we shouldn't continue to think "what would have happened if...." but we also shouldn't be thinking "in 5 years I....". Focus on you as of right now. Focus on your lifestyle, the people around you now, and what you are doing right now.

I feel like a hypocrite saying this however, as I do this on the daily. Sometimes its hard to risk things. To put yourself out there, but maybe we should put ourselves out their a little more. Say yes a little more, instead of making up excuses.

This is easier said than done. But try little things like for instance. I just realized I could change my writing on blogs so that was a good little risk. NO MORE DEFAULT FONT FOR ME!! I'm using "Chelsea Market" font now NBD.

OR try big things like dropping down a giant building. I'm doing that next month. If I live, I'll blog about it and let you know how long I cried on top of a building with strangers looking up at me!
