Keep your chin up


My emotions have gotten the best of me lately.  I'm not going to lie, it's exhausting.  I am trying to take better control over them but I feel like my mind is constantly racing with thoughts that send my emotional levels through a roller coaster.  From being very happy one minute to being sad and nostalgic the next, I feel like I can't predict what to expect anymore but I'm trying my best to think happy thoughts and just be a better person.  I don't want to say "starting today" but I'm tired of looking back and having the regrets I usually do.  So today, I'm going to post positive thoughts to get me through this monday and to get my week going! I hope you all are having a great day and I hope you all continue to follow through the rest of the week, I'll have some more instant karma and pretty pictures. :)

  1. After moving 17+ hours from home, I feel you. Just being determined to think positively goes a long way. it's hard not having friends in our new town, and easterners aren't the easiest to befriend. we've come a long way though. positive thoughts, lovely lady.

    1. I'm sending positive vibes to you too! It must be so difficult to move to a new area where you don't know anyone but it will get better. I'll be moving at the end of the year too so I hope I can adjust easily as well.

  4. Love these quotes! Thanks for the nice comment! Our record player was $40, a little more than we were looking to pay, but it plays beautifully so I'm happy we did!
