Feeling down

I have been having a hard time lately.
I seem to be going through a low patch and have been struggling with my confidence alot.

My health is on a low point (kidneys, ear and now broken tooth today (I suspect that this has something to do with eating toast for dinner for over a month now.)
I cant seem to find the energy to do anything except sleep. (and I suspect that this has something to do with the fact that I am anaemic and not taking my tablets is not helping) yeah yeah I can hear the speech formulating.... it doesnt help.
I have learnt that everything is all about mindset. 
Losing weight, taking my tablets again... I need to get my mind right before I can do anything about it.

I'll think about it...... (that is about all I have energy for anyway)

Anyway - on that note I want to give a special thank you to each and every one of you guys who read my blog and leave comments.
You uplift me and no matter how mad I am feeling - you guys have the ability to cheer me up.

To Claudz and SwissTwist - you guys have been having tough times as well - just know that I am with you, because I understand. 

So on that note - I loved this scene from SATC, it shows the true (and underestimated) strength of friendship.





I Am Woman

I am woman, hear me roar
In numbers too big to ignore
And I know too much to go back an' pretend
'cause I've heard it all before
And I've been down there on the floor
No one's ever gonna keep me down again

CHORUS
Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to, I can do anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman

You can bend but never break me
'cause it only serves to make me
More determined to achieve my final goal
And I come back even stronger
Not a novice any longer
'cause you've deepened the conviction in my soul

CHORUS

I am woman watch me grow
See me standing toe to toe
As I spread my lovin' arms across the land
But I'm still an embryo
With a long long way to go
Until I make my brother understand

Oh yes I am wise
But it's wisdom born of pain
Yes, I've paid the price
But look how much I gained
If I have to I can face anything
I am strong (strong)
I am invincible (invincible)
I am woman
Oh, I am woman
I am invincible
I am strong

Feeling good about myself


I have been feeling a bit low up until recently and the turn of events with MBA and MC have really improved my mood.
As I have learnt from previous experience though -  person can not make you happy, you have to be happy within yourself to be happy.
However having said that - these are a few things that have happened recently to make me happy to hopefully help me reaffirm that my life does not suck as much as I sometimes make it out in my head - this isnt a list to say that I love myself, it is merely a nice reminder....

  • I have someone who is hopelessly in love with me and would do anything for me. I don't feel the same but it is nice to know that I can make someone weak at the knees


  • The make up artist told me I have beautiful features


  • I was asked for my ID at a club - they would believe I was over 25!


  • People gasped when I told them I was 30, they never imagined over 27


  • MC thinks I am Superhot


  • AC thinks I always have the answer to everything and I am the best thing that ever happened to her


  • Race car thinks I am one of the nicest people he knows


  • Today Racecar said i am "the perfect girl" because I like action movies and love sex and think like a man


  • My Housemate thinks I am always so well put together and on top of my life (which I know is not always the case - I fake it well!)


  • My friends phone me for advice


  • A top photographer once told me I had a good eye for photography


  • A wildlife specialist told me I had eyes like a leopard (I love Leopards so that was a great compliment)


  • The dress maker said i have a very nice hourglass figure (when is Marilyn Monroe shape going to come back into fashion again?) 
  • I got to wear a stunning dress for the wedding
  • I wore slip slops most of the evening snd no one noticed
  • I finally bought my Guess Purse and I love it!
  • I am going on holiday tomorrow
  • I got a bonus
  • I have Christmas Presents under my tree
  • Someone said I remind them of Sandra Bullock
  • My family love me no matter what
  • I have more than 1 best friend
  • I am a truly lucky girl
  • I am blessed with a great cleavage
  • I have naturally long eyelashes
  • My eye colour varies with my mood
  • with some help from gel overlays my nails grow nicely and look pretty
  • I love my Sparkly dresses
