I don’t have time…
I get asked on a daily basis why I smile all the time…why I’m so happy…OK, and sometimes it comes in the form of, “Dang, girl, don’t you ever turn that off?!”
Here is the answer I give almost everyone (just not that last guy!): “I don’t have time to be anything other than fabulous.”
And…I don’t.
I woke up this morning to the sound of my alarm clock ringing at 4:19. I can still hear. FABULOUS!
I stub my toe trying to put on my workout clothes in the dark. I can still feel. FABULOUS!
I turn on the light to make sure I get all my food for the day from the fridge. I can still see. FABULOUS!
I take a quick glance at the obituaries. I am still on this side of the ground. FABULOUS!
I stop at the gas station to get coffee and put real cream in it…even though my hot friend Kevin at ISS Research tells me to do my cardio on an empty stomach. That’s ALMOST empty. I’m still sarcastic. FABULOUS!
I bounce through the doors of the gym where I see all my morning gym buddies. All my people are OK. FABULOUS!
And the rest of my day goes pretty much the same.
I decide before I get to work it’s going to be a great day.
I decide before I get home to my boys that we’re going to have a fun evening.
I decide I’m going to get in my best workout ever before I go through those gym doors to lift.
When it’s the end of the day and I feel tired, I know that I’m blessed that I was able to enjoy a good day, because I chose to.
And when the next person asks me how I am, my answer will still be, “I don’t have time to be anything other than fabulous.”
Because I don’t!
