Smile!

Hey guys! Not sure why I am okay today, this morning was rough. I've been trying to get ahold of some solar eclipse glasses for the past week and been stressing hardcore! Finally this morning the last shipment came in and I waited in line for only a little over an hour! But I had to go alone.... I got there early, and I couldn't get out of my car. I was terrified and "ugly" crying because all that was running through my head was "Your son is going to not be able to see this solar eclipse with you because your worthless, you can't even get out of the car."

So thirty minutes went by and I managed to grab my crap and walk my fat little butt up to the line. Granted if I would've gotten out before hand I could've been at least 100 ppl ahead. But I managed to get through it and got the glasses!

I'm bipolar so I know the happiness won't last long but I'm going to enjoy it while it's here and I hope you guys do too. Any shred of happiness or any sliver of a smile, find joy in it.

Alicia,

You probably didn't know this, but my post today was asking for happy news today.

Your post "answered" mine. What a wonderful, happy day you had in spite of your challenges. And how much you love your son to wait behind 100 people just hoping enough sun protection glasses were available. You had to overcome and control your anxiety to do that, and that is not easy by any means.

Thank you for sharing your happy news with all of us.

It did, and you definitely were part of it. I thought I would just ask for some good or happy news, because so many of the posts are depressing, that sometimes I just don't open them sometimes to keep myself balanced. Thought maybe some of the repeater complainers might try to find something, however small, was good in their lives. Hasn't worked so far today, but I think I'm going to post that occasionally. Thanks again for sharing. (:

I agree, even though lately I've been a big downer on here. I sometimes think we should all try and pick just one happy thing each day to say.
