It is a gorgeous day out, and spring is upon us! (Don't get me started on the snow that is expected to come our way...) The weather doesn't change the fact it's a Monday, which almost always comes with a case of the crabbies. To negate said crabbies, I've decided to compile some of my favorite funnies. Not sure why I've suddenly added -ies at the end of words...Hopefully these will put a smile on your face and make your Monday just a little brighter. :)

I've had this post prepped and ready to go for quite some time. After a self-induced, mentally crappy last few days, these are just what I need. I know some people hate corny, overly emotional/inspirational quotes, but I'm not one of them. So if you also like these kinds of quotes, read on.

7 Rules of Life
1. Make peace with your past so it won’t screw up the present.
2. What others think of you is none of your business.
3. Time heals almost everything, give it time.
4. Don’t compare your life to others and don’t judge them. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
5. Stop thinking too much, it’s alright not to know the answers. They will come to you when you least expect it.
6. No one is in charge of your happiness, except you.
7. Smile. You don’t own all the problems in the world.

"Remember that in any given situation we never see things as they are, only as we are; and that we always have a choice - to change the situation, to change ourselves, leave the situation, or decide to live with the situation."

Die...definitely die.

I'm not a runner. I quite dislike the activity. I'm the girl who took power walking as my kins course in college. I'm the girl who believes my preemie underdeveloped lungs make it difficult to maintain good breathing during long bouts of running. (That may or may not be medically true.) The girl who probably looks like this when she runs:

So why did I sign up for my first 5k, Run or Dye?? Well, I told myself I would live this year to the fullest, try new things, and take risks. What's riskier than having a ton of people see me huff and puff for 3.1 miles?? Also, it will hopefully inspire a healthier lifestyle. Training is no joke! I'm only two weeks in, and it is tough! It's getting easier, but my God it's tough for me. I admit that I usually give up on things that are hard or make me uncomfortable, but I reaaaallly want to see this through. (The upside of this run, however, is you aren't timed. :))

But last but not least, I get to have a great time with friends and end up like this:

Anyone else trying a new activity/exercise?
