If you can't change something, change the way you think about it

Happy Tuesday !

When I got off work today, I looked at the temp. and could not wait to get home and go for a quick walk with Jackie ( my brothers dog whom we've been watching) Unfortunately I didn't realize how dark it gets, thats the problem with working an 8-5 job, when I get home there is almost no sunlight left at this time of the year! I just went on a quick walk/run down Madison Rd. and back, but it felt so good to feel the fresh air, spring is in the air!

I went to my cardio boot camp last night and I was going to try and go tonight but I was just exhausted and thought a quick walk would be better suited. Unfortunately, I didn't drink 60 oz of water today, or get my 25 grams of fiber in :( It's okay, it's only March 2nd!

I still have no idea in what direction to take this blog. I was thinking of starting simple and maybe doing a top 5 list of something random everyday just for fun! So how bout for today we do top 5 favorite songs right now? Sounds good!

1. Syndicate- The Fray

2. Life after you- Daughtry (notice one of my blog titles)

3. Thank you for hearing me- Sinead O'Connor ( on the commercial for the new "addicted" on TLC

4. I never told you- Colbie Caillet

5.Till the Summer comes around- Keith Urban

One thing that has been bothering me a bit and I know that I have been completely guilty of this at times. I have a friend who I hung out with the other night not gonna name any names! He's a great guy and he's smart, and I know that some of the choices he makes are not the best but he has literally been in trouble in every aspect of his life since about his sophomore year of high school and I don't understand how you can screw up so many times yet keep making the same bad choices. I know growing up my mom always told " you are who your friends are" and that's completely true in his case, which I have mentioned to him but its like he wants to get his life together and do good things but is he so stuck in a rut that he can't get out? I have met way too many people that sometimes they wait till it's too late to change anything.

Are some people just wired to think "oh I made a bad decision, I probably should stop what I'm doing, and try this approach" or maybe some people just say " Hm I screwed up, I wonder what will happen if I screw up again?"

I also have learned that sometimes have nothing to do or no hobbies really can change a persons outcome on life! If you have something to look forward to or keep you busy, I really think you are less likely to get into trouble. Now I know that statement is not true for everyone but I know that working a full time job, and having a few things here and there to keep me busy has done a number on my outlook on life.

So I'm not really sure what to think, but thats something I've been pondering today!

Well that's all for today! It's only 8pm and I'm exhausted :(
