FAVIE DAY

So... I just got really depressed, and I needed to knock myself out of it. So I came here.

Earlier today, I was thinking about how many "favorites" happened today. It's nice how those little "tender mercies" come into your life. Now that I'm feeling pretty down, it may be good to remind myself of how I was blessed today. So... Here ya go my friends.

I wore my FAVIE shirt.

I actually got a lot of complements...

that's kinda FAVIE.

(Oh yeah, as you kinda can tell in the pic... I curled my hair. Curly hair is FAVIE. Especially in the winter, cause my hair goes pretty frizzy... that's not so FAVIE.)

I went to my FAVIE JOB.

This is what I did today. I made PAPER PENGUINS.

Yes. I know. My job rocks.

P.S. Aren't they cute?! I'm quite proud.

GIMME PAPER, GLUE and SCISSORS and I'm good to go!

Went to an IWA Meeting. (IWA is pretty much the ultimate FAVIE.)

(This pic is not from today... but these girls are amazing, I love our presidency. Sigh, heart, heart, heart heart.)

We started planning the next IWA dance.

LOVE.

Our theme is OLD HOLLYWOOD GLAMOUR.

FAVIE. FAVIE!! FAVIE!!!

Me and some awesome friends planned our "HONKEN" date.

It's pretty much the coolest thing ever. Don't worry about it, just know it's a FAVIE.

Alrighty, I'll tell ya. HONKEN is our little name for Honey Chicken. You see, we eat Honey Chicken when  we (my 3 friends and I) have good boy stories to tell.

It's pretty much the coolest form of Girl Talk known in existence.

BTW: Honken girls are my most FAVIE girls.

FIREHOUSE PIZZERIA. Favie food.

My Bestie, took me to Firehouse for my "Birthday Dinner" today. (My birthday was is July... lol)

YUMMY IN MY TUMMY.

THIS REALLY HAPPENED.

You tie your straw wrapper in a knot and pull tight. If the knot doesn't stay that means someone is thinking about you. (Kinda silly... but still FAVIE.)

This hardly happens to me... BUT IT HAPPENED ON FAVIE DAY!

IWA Christmas Devotional.

Number A) IWA=FAVIE

Number B) Christmas=FAVIE

Number C) Devotionals/Inspiration=FAVIE.

'nuff said.

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS.

After IWA my bestie took me for a ride to see Christmas Lights.

Don't I have AWESOME FRIENDS.

Lucky Gal=Me.

FRIENDS...

They are FAVIE.

This song was played on my way to school, in my bestie's car and on my way home.

Even though it's FREEZIN' outside, whenever I hear this song, it warms me from the inside out...

FAVIE!

I feel a little better now.

BUT:

I'm still overwhelmed about school.

I'm still scared because my foot isn't getting better.

I'm scared of being depressed.

I'm scared of this time of year... A year ago was the worst thing I've ever been through... (I'm not talking about the accident)

I keep having memories of "him"...

and I just want him to go away. He's done enough damage.

I'm scared I'm going to be alone forever.

I'm tired so maybe I'm being irrational.

But, right now...

I'm just plain ol' bummed.

But, like Annie always says,

THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW.

I'm really okay.

Or I WILL BE.

It's the little things that are holding me up right now.

So, thanks friends, for being there.

Thanks for listening.

And thanks for the quiet strength of so many of you.

If you wanna help me out, I'll accept flowers. ;) Just kidding... But seriously...

No. I just need a SMILE.

or a HUG.

so...

What's been a FAVIE of yours recently?

What are some of your TENDER MERCIES?

I'd love to feel inspired and uplifted...

Even a joke would be FABULOUS.

Thanks friends.
