Photo Love {Inspiration}: Feeling Blue but seeing turquoise

November 22, 2010
Embrace the serenity, freedom, and brightness of a turquoise state of mind.

Today has been hard and I admit to being a little blue.  I’m crushed that something I thought was promising wasn’t at all what I envisioned.  My hope was dashed and I understood the meaning of the saying “I feel gutted.”

But I’m making my way back.  I moped and wallowed, but there is no point in wasting my time over something that I can’t change.  I’m turning my blue state into something turquoise.  We were invited to weddings in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico and Verona, Italy next year.  We’re likely going and I am appreciating the fact that we can do that.  I have a supportive husband, a comfortable lifestyle, and a (rented) home that we can call our own.  It may take me longer to find my path but I’ll get there.  These bumps in the road just make it hard (that and I keep on asking “Are we there yet?”)

I feel blue, but I will see turquoise and all its possibilities.

Have a good week lovelies!

    You have a wonderful attitude. I wish I could have half of your positivity when things don’t go as planned for me. Sounds like you have some great trips in the works, and of course an amazing husband by your side.
