I’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.
