Oh gosh! I feel like I havent blogged or been on tumblr in forever but in reality it’s probably been like what? 3 or 4 days? Well I’m back! Hi!
Things on my mind:

1)Went to a beautiful wedding this Sunday and like every wedding I go to all I could think about is who will I marry?!?!
2) Today in yoga class our instructor asked us each to tell her when we last had an extraordinary moment. And I literally couldn’t think of one. Sooooo…that’s cool….
3) Taylor Swift is the performer at this year’s Victoria Secret’s Fashion Show (Dec 10) and I can’t help but wonder what song she’s going to sing?!?! I just can’t picture any of Taylor’s song being strutted to on the runway. My only two guesses are I Knew You Were Trouble or maybe State of Grace?? If anyone already knows please let me know!
4) I’m going to the gym after work! This is probably the first time I’ve been back to the gym in what…. 5 months?? Maybe more? But it’s my new goal because I have to be in a wedding in April and NO WAY I’m going to let myself be the fat bridesmaid. No way jose! Everyone is a size 0-2 and I’m like a size 50. hahahah Not really…but pretty much. I’ll keep ya posted on my weight loss. Woo!

Today my yoga instructor told me this amazing story about her friend who was just having an awful week. She had a ton of things that kept popping up that she needed to get done or fixed. Then she had a meeting with a woman at the Los Angeles Observatory, which can be a bit of a drive mid-day in Hollywood traffic. She drove to her meeting and didnt know that the person who was supposed to meet her, had emailed her to cancel. Not call, not text, but email. Who checks their email every second, right? 

She gets all the way up there and discovers it was a waste of time because the person isn’t coming. She decides to sit down at a nearby cafe and get a bite to eat. And as she was sitting there, all of a sudden out of the corner of her eye she sees movement and something flying down the sidewalk. Without hesitation or thinking, she grabbed that moving object.

Well guess what it is! A freaking baby stroller!! A mom had forgotten to put the breaks on the stroller, the stroller was on a steep hill and off it went, speeding down the hill! This woman reached out and grabbed it and stopped the stroller! She basically saved this baby’s life. Isn’t that amazing?!?!

Now if that isn’t a life lesson, then I don’t know what is.  Even in your darkest moment, or when you think everything around you and in your life is going wrong, a moment happens that makes you realize there is a silver lining. My yoga instructor’s friend saw the positive in the situation and said to herself “I was meant to be here. Even in all my frustration, I was supposed to go through all of this so I could be here to save that baby from tragedy.”

Now we’re not always going to have some stand-out epic moment that makes us easily see this realization. But it’s a nice reminder to always look for your silver lining. Whether large or small, if you take the time to notice, it can make a huge difference in the your mood and give you inspiration for the day.
