Yet another week has gone by. Time seems to just fly by these days. I remember back when I was in grade school, time literally crawled at a snail’s pace. Hours spent inside the classroom studying were punctuated by very brief recess periods and the almighty lunch break that was much too short. Now I find myself wishing for time to slow down a little so I can take a few moments and just sit still without having to worry about where I have to be next or if I’m late for work. It would be so nice to have a couple of days to do absolutely nothing; a day where I can just stay in my pyjamas all day and watch Buffy or Seinfeld re-runs, Anthony Bourdain’s No Reservation or Guy Fieri’s Diners, Dine-Ins, and Dives if I feel up to putting myself through foodie torture.
Anyway, all this talk about my childhood reminds me how much I wished to be older when I was a “niner” (gr. 9) in highschool — how young I felt in comparison to the much wiser, hence much cooler, older kids. I also remember counting the days until I turned 19 so that I could finally get into clubs, hassle free. Ahh, those were the days. Nowadays it’s cause for celebration when I get carded buying, of all things, a lottery ticket. Seriously, please card me I won’t get offended, promise.
The most amazing thing is I still feel like I’m 20 years old and not 25 (quarter life crisis, eek!!). I know of a handful of ladies who look years younger than their actual age. A trait they all seem to share is having fun in life and not taking every little thing to heart. So, it is true when they say that you’re as young as you feel and I do believe that this is key to staying and looking young.
You can purchase the most expensive creams out there, but nothing will keep you as youthful (body and mind) like a good and positive outlook in life. I know it’s much much easier said than done, but be tenacious and resilient; don’t let minor setbacks hold you down. You only have this life and dwelling on the negative will only cause you to miss out on all the beauty life has to offer.
I myself am grappling with this. After all, it’s easier to say “f*** it,” give up, make your exit, then keep a heavy heart and sulk about it. You can worry about this and that, but at the end of the day this life is the only life you have — you can’t waste it feeling bad about things not going your way. Nothing is more beautiful than positivity and a big smile on your face. Ask anyone, it makes people gravitate towards you.
As you can probably tell right now, I tend to go off tangent A LOT. Comment or email me if you have anything you wish to share or ask me. 
Oh and here’s the most talented canine singer out there — I think he’s even better than me!
