On the Bright Side

Today was rough. I had a horrible migraine I've been dealing with off/on for days. I pushed through it and came to work, but felt completely exhausted and out of it. Made it really difficult to work and focus. 

But here are the things that brightened my day:

My friend LauraCindy is such a beautiful soul. She's real... she's loud... she's fun... she's playful... so of course I'd love this woman. Today I told her how tough I was having it and the stressed. So out of nowhere, she runs up to me at my desk and just jumps into my lap and gives me the biggest, whole hearted hug you can get. It was just so LC, and so needed and appreciated.

Actually, not too long ago I texted her and she sent me such a sweet response. It was perfect LC. Like I said, beautiful soul!!

Next came a hilarious call LC had to deal with. They called looking to speak to our guest coordinator, but he wasn't in his office at the time. She suggested they email him instead. As she was giving his email address, she said, "It's Al dot Johnson, common spelling." Well the person didn't understand what she was saying, and though when she said "common spelling" that it was part of his email address. This person questioned her about it not once, but twice. AND they called back again still unable to get it right!! We were dying!

Then came Lisa... OMG! We were talking about Maxine Waters and her beautiful, powerful soul. If you don't know, Bill O'Reilly made a very rude comment about her hair during a recent show. When asked about it afterwards, she came back saying, "I am a strong black woman and I cannot be intimidated." Beautiful response! But it wasn't her response that made me happy. It was Lisa's impersonation of her doing it. She gave her so much more sass and power! I just loved it. Two powerful women.

I have included a link to the real Maxine Waters clip below. Sadly, I did not get Lisa on tape doing hers. :)

Today just reminded me that I am lucky to have such amazing, supportive people in my life. Even when I feel at my worst, they are always there to brighten my day... migraine and all.
