Are you Drunk and Baking?

Last week, I had a bad day. 

Most of you reading this are probably thinking something along the lines of 'So what?' or 'So did I.'  But for me to say a day was a bad day, it had to be grueling to get through.  I generally don't take things to heart.  Words don't get to me.  People don't get to me.  For the most part, I lead a fairly quiet life with minimal drama and not much to complain about.

However, this day was different.  It was one of those rare days when everything I touched went awry.  Nothing I needed was available.  I spilled things, broke things, made errors at work, ran late, lost things. You get the picture.

So on this particularly bad day, I went home and did what I always do when I need to feel better.  I had a beer and baked a cake. 
Please, like you don't drunk bake. 
I love to bake. It doesn't matter what, I try something new each time.  I don't like sweets, and I rarely eat what I bake, but something about it calms me. One day, maybe I will be able to start my own bakery.  But for now I do it because I love it. 

I am always looking for new ways to challenge myself too.  My next challenge...


It might not be your cup of tea, but what is?  What activity takes your mind off of your problems and helps you to relax?  Is it painting, or doing the dishes? 


Comment below and I will choose a response to try next time I need to relax.  I will write about it and you could see your name in my thank you section.

Dear You,

Dear You,


Hi there. 


Just some notes from me to you...


Stop worrying.  Everything may not turn out exactly the way you imagined but I promise it will turn out the way it is meant to. You have all you need to lead a fabulous life. 


Keep your head up.  I know sometimes you get discouraged and think that things will never get better, but they always have and they always will.  Life is a cycle.  It has highs.  It has lows.  Consider all of these moments before you let yourself get down.


Smile.  It makes you and the people around you happier.


Slow down.  Look around and appreciate the now.  Even when life gets busy and you can't seem to find time to shower and shave, let alone notice the picture the baby left you on the table, open your eyes. Look at your life and experience all of it. 


Keep up the good work.


--M.E.


P.S.-You're awesome.

Happy Hump Day!
