Perspective

I'm taking a breather,

and putting things into

perspective.

It's an anoying thing to do sometimes,

but completely a "must"

when your life throws you so

many lemons that you would rather

cut your own arm off than make any more

DAMN lemonade.

mmm, vodka.

So, I didn't get a picture perfect Thanksgiving.

SO WHAT.

Here is what I did have:

- A pretty amazing Thanksgiving lasagna with some

pretty fantastic family members.

- A lovely Saturday afternoon with my sister.

Yay sisters!

- A delicious sushi dinner with a friend.

(I got violently sick after, but that is definitely besides the point)

- A Sunday sleep in with my husband, something that for us and

our work schedules is extremely rare.

- Sunday night dinner with our little family of 3 (third being a dog, not a baby fetus,

in case you were getting ready to gasp)
- Good news that despite us leaving our 3 month old apartment,
we were approved for an even better (and slightly cheaper) one.

So... if I was on the outside looking in,

I'd be all

"what are you complaining about?

What a great weekend!

Really, no turkey? Too bad, so sad"

My quest to not compare my life to others,

for being grateful for what I have,

for looking more on the better side than the bad side

is a learning curve here.

Ah, perspective. 
Try it sometime!
