What happened, where have you been?

Some of you have probably been wondering: what is going on with the stampinbeautylady? Well, as you may remember, when I posted my first few blogs, I decided I wanted to talk about positive things. I still want to do so, however, I have been finding it hard lately to find some positives, so I have chosen to post nothing at all...and it has been eating away at me. Why? Why am I not finding something positive to post? Really quick: I have been feeling a bit overwhelmed over the past few months. I have not been very motivated to delve into much of anything, except what is necessary to get through the day.

A friend of mine had mentioned to me that, while facebook is a great place to reconnect with lost friends and families, it seemed most people post how wonderful and perfect their lives are; how great things are with their families! I know I am guilty as well...wanting to post only the positive things happening in my life in my blog. Most, (I say most lightly, as some do post more info then I'd like to know, LOL) people do want to share the all the wonderful things in their lives. Is that such a bad thing?

Maybe?!  I know that life has it's ups and it's downs, it is difficult to forget about the negatives; not sure why that is, but it seems the negatives like to stay with us for a while. When we read and see our friends with these great lives, doing all the great things, having a wonderful life, we are left wondering: what am I doing wrong, what is wrong with me? You know what? Nothing! Nothing is wrong with you! You are doing nothing wrong! Let's see if we can think of it this way...our friends and families are sharing their happy moments with us because they are having down moments and need to write about the good to turn the negative around! Got it?! This may or may not really be the case, but this way of thinking may just be what we need to help us feel better about us!

With that said...I think that there are times when we need to share our downs. Let our friends know that our lives are not as perfect as we may sometimes portrait. And that everyday is not as grand as we would hope it to be!

Trying to be positive without being negative!
