You Are Not Everyone's Cup of Tea...

... and that is ok. 

To make a very long story short, this is a lesson I learned this week:

 

Also, PLEASE click this link and read this blog post which also summarizes this week's life lesson... it's a short read and it's sooo good:

{Random fact you didn't ask for: I am faithful to Polynesian sauce and Mike is a 100% supporter of Chic-Fil-A sauce.}  

Ok, back to my life lesson... 

Not only did I realize this fact (that I'm not everyone's cup of tea), but more importantly: 

I MADE MY PEACE WITH THAT!    

I do not exist to make everyone like me. 

I absorbed some negative energy this week and usually I bottle that up inside and let it slowly eat away at me.  Sounds healthy, right? 

But this time was different!  

I took that negative energy... reflected on it for a bit... and decided to turn it into positive energy.

How, you ask? 

By donating to a charity that related to the (unnecessary) drama that unfolded this week.  

Afterwards, I literally felt like a vessel for change 

(sounds dumb, I know, but it's true and it's how I felt so deal with it). 

I realized that we can take negativity to heart or 

WE CAN LITERALLY CHANGE IT INTO SOMETHING POSITIVE!  

Ok, enough of the life lesson.  Please know (mom) that I am 110% FINE. 

Now, in an effort to spread positive vibes... shall we look at some adorable puppy pictures and videos????  I THINK SO! 

LOOK AT THIS GOOBER!!!

PLEASE NOTICE THE LINT ROLLER... I HAD TO
WORK HARD TO GET HIS FUR OFF ONE OF
MY SKI SHIRTS. 

NAPPING LIKE THAT???  REALLY? 

SWEET SNUGGLES WHILE WE WAIT FOR DAD
TO GET HOME FROM WORK. 

I LIKE TO STICK MY FACE IN THE SNOW...
A LOT! 

 I've had a cold all week but this morning I was feeling well enough to take a few laps at Heavenly. Then I took the puppy on a hike/snowshoe near the house. 

SLOPES OF HEAVENLY ON THE LEFT... LAKE TAHOE ON THE RIGHT.

I have absolutely NOTHING to complain about.  

Nothing at all.  

Life is beautiful.

Your life is literally what you make it. 

So, make it exciting!

Make it adventurous if you want. 

Recognize that you aren't everyone's cup of tea... 

and everyone won't be your Chic-Fil-A sauce... 

but you can still be kind to each other and move on!  

I. AM. BLESSED.
