Keeping It Real

November 13, 2012 By andrea

Well, let me just say this about that…this blog would be nothing if we’re not honest.

So in the spirit of keeping it real, I’ve gotta tell you that this morning we kicked off World Kindness Week and I had high hopes for all of the awesomeness I was going to share with the world today.

And then life happened.

First, I was looking at everything through the glorious prism of PMS. Granted, sharing my PMS is TMI, but it set the stage, and I’m sure it gives you a good mental picture of where I was coming from!

Then something irritating happened at work. I mean really irritating.

As much as I kept reminding myself to be awesome and come up with amazingly kind things to do today, I struggled. Instead, I had a helluva time even being my normal nice, let alone over-the-top kind!

But you know what? It’s OK. None of us is perfect. Not every day is perfect.

While I wasn’t thrilled, I was still generally kind and respectful during the work situation. Later I vented to a friend at work, which helped me to blow off some steam.

Then we both had a good laugh (at my expense) over the irony of me kicking off World Kindness Week and then couldn’t even make it to lunchtime without swearing and bitching. Good thing I like to laugh at myself! And I love having a great friend to keep me honest!

So tomorrow is another day, and I hope to be a little more awesome than I was today.

But no matter how things go tomorrow, you know I’ll always be keeping it real.
