I Love You, Yellow and Blue

Gah, sorry I'm so bad at posting guys. I don't forget to take pictures or post, I just get so busy with school, homework, friends, cooking, boys, college, LIFE, etc. So forgive me? Thanks :)

I pretty much adored this outfit to pieces. Really though. Day 8 of 30 for 30 has been my favorite outfit of this challenge so far and probably one of my favorite outfits since I started this blog. And I don't think I'm the only one that adored this outfit because I started counting (please don't think I'm vain, it was just kinda fun!) and about 20 people told me I looked cute in this outfit.. No joke. It totally made my day. I like how the shirt is unbuttoned but still tucked in. It gave it a nice relaxed look but still nice because the shirt was nice. Does that make sense? Ha ha.

Also, comments really make my day and I would love some? Pretty pretty please? Haha, have a great Wednesday! Thank you SO much to everyone for following. I'm gonna get days 6 and 7 posted pronto. Promise. :)

Day 8: A Moment

The words: Steinway and sons :)
Black and white
I press down a white key and loud ringing music responds to the touch
Fingers dancing across the keys
My fingers providing a melody
Rows and pages and rows of endless music and notes and bars and staffs and rests
The corners of my mouth turned up, my teeth happily showing a grin
Darkness as a I close my eyes while I play
The reverse of touch as I slowly lift my fingers from the keys.
Peace
Finished.
:)

Recapturing Beauty Day 8: Self Talk

Day 8:

Pay attention to your thoughts today. Ask yourself, How do my thoughts make me feel? Is what I’m thinking really true? Practice challenging your negative thoughts and replacing them with more truthful ones. What was your experience?

WHY: Our thoughts determine how we feel and act. If we talked to others the way we talk to ourselves, we would be ashamed.The beauty of being human is that we can control our thoughts. Start by recognizing your thoughts, challenging them, and replacing them.

I like how the "why" thing aboves says that "if we talked to others the way we talk to ourselves, we would be ashamed." Wow, that is so true. I'd never talk to anyone else the way I talk to myself, which is really sad! Shouldn't I be nicest to myself? After all, I'm all I have and I have it for the rest of eternity, so maybe I should start being nice haha. It was hard to change my negative thoughts, though I did try to think about it as much as I could. Whenever I noticed I had a negative thought, I really wondered if it was true and why I was thinking it. Even harder was to replace that with a positive thought but I did attempt to do it. It's interesting to realize how many negative thoughts I actually have in a day, and I really want to work hard on controlling this more in the future, though I know this will be a long process. But hey, isn't that kind of what makes it worth it? :)
