Bad Days Come and Go

"Things don't go wrong and break your heart so you can become bitter and give up. They happen to break you down and build you up so you can be all that you were intended to be." -Samuel Johnson

I had an AMAZING time at Sugarland on Thursday night and I was going to get on here and post a happy blog about how they had some inspiring songs and how great it was and all that... and then I had a really bad day on Friday at work that just made me bitter. I thought this quote was very fitting. I won't go into the details of why it was bad or anything like that, but it felt like everything was just working against me and I broke down. The problem is, when I'm in the heat of the moment, I don't think of how this experience is building me up and making me a stronger person, I just sulk in the moment and let my entire day be ruined by it. I ended up going to a baseball game later with friends and going out to eat, so it eventually turned around, but I feel as though I need to learn a lesson from this. Bad days will come and go, but I need to step back and take a look at how it might be building me up, instead of sulking and just ruining my day over something silly. I believe that my bad day on Friday at work built me up in the sense that it made me realize that I have a really good work ethic and that I only want the best for anything I put my time into. Some people (not necessarily people at my work, but just people in general) just go to work and put in their minimum effort for their minimum wage, but I feel as though I try to make it the best it can be. That's a good trait to have, and one day I'll be appreciated for it.

Anyways, enough of the bad day stuff. Like I said, Sugarland was AMAZING. Literally the best concert I've ever been to. They're just such good performers and they made it fun to be there. The next day I went out and bought their CD and have been listening to it ever since. They have such happy music :) And since my last post, I've also been to see Billy Currington at the rodeo. Me and Cole went last night and he was amazing as well! We also went and looked at all of the animals and shopped a little. And I fell in love with the baby pigs... I think Ralph could use a friend! Just kidding, they're not so cute once they grow up and they'd probably squish Ralph by sitting on him, so maybe not the best idea.

I'm glad people actually read my first blog! I didn't think it'd be a hit lol. But I'll try to keep it interesting. As I type, I'm watching Cake Boss (my favorite) and it's making me craveeee a cake or something. Since when is that new, right?! Maybe I shall go indulge in some chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream that is calling my name in the freezer... I think I will :) That's all for today... gotta study for two tests this week and play with Baby Ralph! Have a good Sunday!
