DAY 44, Post 3

Tonight I scrapbooked.  It's been almost six long years since I last scrapbooked for me, and I loved every second of it.

Julie, my neighbor, invited me to be part of a Facebook scrapbooking group she founded, and last week's Humper Day Challenge was to create a layout using primarily the colors pink and green, and to use a minimum of six flowers.  Well, I did it.  And I finally used some of my company's inventory for my personal use.

Here's the final layout...

My friend E.W. put this up as her Facebook status this morning, and I LOVE it!...

"If life hands you lemons...MAKE orange juice and leave people wondering how the heck you did it! Dare to be different - Be Amazing!"

In the past year I've experienced more than a lot of people experience in five...

• Loss of three family members
• Mom had a stroke
• Separated from spouse
• Moved
• Started a new job
• Moved my business out of my home and into an office
• Shut down my business of five years due to separation/divorce and money constraints
• Was offered another job which won't start because it sounds like the company is folding
• Met a great man and had two AMAZING months where I...
• Learned what TO EXPECT from a significant other
• Learned what to NOT ACCEPT from a significant other
• Lost nearly 60 pounds
• Started down the road of discovering who I am

So, lemons, I've gotcha.  But f*** lemonade.  It's too sour for me.  I'm going to make Orange Strawberry Banana juice, because I'm looking for some sweetness in my life.
