For A Rough Day

This post was inspired by a few ladies who were having off days… kinda like the day I’m having today. I woke up with an obscenely sore throat, which typically means I’ll be seeing a nice sinus infection or head cold soon.

Obviously, training for a marathon and feeling sick don’t go well together, which puts me in a stellar mood. I’m a real prize today.

So, when I have a bad day, my love Anastasia (don’t forget to say her name right) always tells me the same thing:

“Stop thinking. Remember all that you have to be happy about. Smile the biggest, goofiest smile you possibly can. Now take a picture of it and send it to me.”

I think she’s just collecting all these pictures of me for blackmail.

Anyway, when Carrie was having a rough day a few weeks ago, I said the same thing to her. The photo I got brightened my day a little, and I know it had to have given her a little giggle as well.

there’s that pretty girl. and didn’t you feel better already?

So, I sent out a “Project: Happy” request to all who were interested in participating. Feel free to bookmark this page for when you need a little smile, because these girls were happy to lend one.

Now, doesn’t all that make you want to smile? When the little things in life get ya down, just remember all the things you have to be thankful for. And smile.

And if those didn’t do it, maybe a cross-eyed picture of my dog will.

P.S. Stay tuned for an upcoming giveaway…
