I was unpacking some more stuff for my office today. I ran across some more unflattering pictures of myself that I thought about burning. However, I did not. I moved on and found little things that the bestie had made for me over the years, cards, pictures with our sayings and memories on them and last but not least something that made ever little effort I’ve made to let the past go come back and bite me in the ass.
Sometimes when life gets me down I focus on the happiest time of my life. It helps me get through the day. Well I’ve been thinking about this one particular time a lot lately. I’m thinking that I should probably stop looking back so much and look forward a little bit more.
I read awhile ago that when you are obsessing over something, to diet from whatever it is. Every time it crosses your mind you purposely think of something else. I don’t remember all of the article just that they suggested thinking about auditioning for American Idol. I don’t know why that one sticks in my head but it does. So I’ve been trying out for American Idol a lot lately in my head.
Today in box buried under some old McDonald collectible toys (yes I still have a few from the lion king), a green plastic dinosaur from a Chicago museum and a painted rock I used to have under my pillow I found a tape. I thought the tape had mysteriously disappeared years ago since I had looked for it, knowing it did exist. But I had moved from Michigan to Florida and back to Michigan so I had lost hope.
That little bastard tape. I can’t wait to get it on my laptop to send to the bestie. She is going to laugh her ass off.
