When Good Things Happen

I'm not one to dwell on negativity, nor am I someone who likes to talk about my problems. But, recently things have been rough for me, but I'm coping and always hopeful that there's always a brighter side.

 

I'm lucky that I have a wonderful family, great friends, the most awesome dog ever, and I'm in the best relationship of my life. So when I feel like my life sucks, and that things are falling apart, I tell myself it could be worse.  And for a little while, it was a lot worse for me. I had so many issues to deal with, and it was such a dark, and sad time for me, that I had to drastically change my life to make it better. And I have in so many ways, and that's why there's I know I can make it through anything.

 

So this week, was the best week I've had in a long time. Coming fresh off my finish of the 10k on Saturday, I was feeling really good and upbeat. The beginning of the week started with some good news for my boyfriend, he landed a position at work he really wanted. Then we finally planned a mini getaway in a couple of weeks, and we are both so excited to leave the craziness of New York for a few days! Then I was contacted by a fitness company, asking me if they could suit me up at my next race with their brand! How freaking awesome is that?!!!? Not sure if I will wear their clothing yet, I'm still making sure that they're legit, before I commit to anything, but still I feel great that I've come so far to even be thought in that context!!! Yay for me!!! What a self esteem boost!!! But wait there's more! Just the other day on Instagram, (follow me @kata_razzi) I had entered a contest that Oakley was having at the Mini 10k, and won! You had to choose a pair of sunglasses you liked, and post it, and hashtag it! Couldn't believe I was chosen, and the best part too was that a fellow runner, someone who inspires me to keep going, The Awesome Mom, had also won the pair she wore!! Hopefully we can finally talk, and take a pic together at the Achilles run later this month!

And then to end the week, I got some good news at work, a new schedule, that looks like it will allow me more free time to workout, and attend Weight Watchers meetings. I'm so happy! This week was full of good things, not just for myself, but for others as well. And I'm looking forward to my upcoming races, my mini vacay, the arrival of my boyfriends' parents, who will be visiting for a whole month in a few weeks, and our camping trip in July! So far the summer is looking good, I couldn't ask for more!!

Stay Positive my Loves! Good things do happen, you just have to wait out the storm every once in awhile!
