When Things Look Down, Turn them Up
Thursday, January 28th, 2010I’m the master of seeing the upside of things. Some people call me an optimist. Some call me positive. I call me sarcastic.
I’ve listed some stresses in my life. They are bold. Both figuratively and literally.
(Key for this post…Stresser: Subsequent Upside)
Wearing tights, nylons and other restrictive shit to work since the weather turned cold: control top.
Commute to work was slowed down by dumb slow drivers in the fast lane: I was prevented from getting a speeding ticket.
Cost of Botox is crazy ridiculous: There is no evidence (through wrinkles lines) that the cost stressed me out.
I have severe pressure at work with deadlines and projects: This one never gets old. I HAVE A JOB. Too many people forget that one.
Mail for my live in ex-boyfriend keeps getting delivered to my house (he hasn’t lived here for years): The articles in Maxim are actually interesting.
I got the card from my dentist to schedule a cleaning: I have teeth. They help make a smile look so much better.
I’m nursing a mild sleep deprived wine hangover: I enjoyed every sip of wine.
Fucked up sleeping patterns: Some people are used to a 1/2 hour intermission at the theatre to get refreshed. I get 1-2 hour blocks in the middle of the night to toss and turn and watch bad tv. Double upside…I caught up on a few stupid reality shows.
I’m blowing through money to travel for friends’ events out of state: I have friends. And who needs money when you have friends?
Okay, back to focusing on all the good in life. Have a great day. And remember, there is ALWAYS an upside.
