One in the same.

One in the same.

This year has been very busy for me and my family. We started new jobs, schools, and moved. It has been hard at times. I am so proud of us though. If I look back 5 years ago to were I was, I would have never pictured this. I tell people all the time I am living the dream. I have a nice house, great friends, a wonderful daughter, a job I love, and my amazing husband. It is not every day you hear people talking about the things that they do have. You always hear about what somebody does not have. I get so tired of complainers.

I believe I mentioned before I am a cocktail waitress at a local casino. I have worked there for a little over a year. I work with mostly women (about 50 of them). The job itself is awesome. I get to do what I want. I sing, dance, joke around with customers. Most importantly I have fun. I make pretty decent money and I get to pick and choose my hours. It is great! Then you have the moments where it is not great. I go into work with a smile and when I get there I am met with frowns. I guess when people are unhappy it really shines through everything they do.

My point was that these women are always complaining. Have you ever noticed if you are in a great mood, but the people around you are not. It is almost contagious. It then goes around and by the time you know it, you are joining in on a bitch-fest you wanted nothing to do with.  I think that each and every person that reads this needs to do one thing for me. I want you to smile. I want you to literally stop and smell the roses. I want you to tell your best friend she looks beautiful (Josh that's you!). Those tasks my seem simple, but I think people might be surprised how much negativity they put off.

If each of you can do that I think it would make the world a better place in that moment. Kindness is not a weakness, it is a strength. I am not saying I am a happy go lucky person all the time. I am just really trying to be a better person. I want to show my daughter that I am smart, kind, and most importantly a human. We are all one in the same. It begins with me. I can break the mold. I can try at least she is going to be a teenager one day.

I really want to thank each and every person who has read or will read my blog. I am almost to 200 views in one week. I am very proud! I really love writing again and you guys gave me the motivation I so desperately needed and for that I say thank you!
