Rah RAh RAH!

There are somethings I just don't get about myself. 

Why is it I can tell myself over and over I can't do something.  I am either not smart enough, strong enough, talented enough.  Skinny, tall or pretty enough to do something.  Anything.

But......

As soon as someone tell me I can't do something I will do everything in my power to do it.   Just to prove I can do it.  

Why do I do that?  What a stupid way to be.   I once had a friend tell me that she didn't have anyone to cheer her on and so she decided she had to be her own cheerleader and do things she wanted to do and she was gonna cheer herself on in everything she wants to do.   And you know what?  She is a pretty darn good "self cheerleader".   

I have thought about it and I am gonna be my own cheerleader darn it.

Ok Wait a Second!

She's how I feel, not how I wanna look!

Phew Much Better, minus the belly button showing.

(BTW just a heed of cation, don't ever just type in Cheerleader when you google images.  Google "cheerleader cartoon".  And if you really do it, don't say I didn't warn ya")

 I am also going to teach my kids to learn to do the same.  I don't want them to think they can't do something but to always try and to cheer themselves the whole way no matter what anyone says. 

I remember this quote I heard once, not sure who said it.....

"One day your life will flash before your eyes.  Make sure it's worth watching"

Right now I think my life would make a really good "Lifetime" movie.   I am thinking I may want to add some "HGTV" and some "Fit TV" and maybe some.... well you get the idea.   Something to add a lil more variety to the exciting life I have.  

I know I am not the only one thinking this.   I think it is life.  We as people are always looking for ways to make things better.   Sometimes I think we just put ourselves last. 

I know what you're thinking? You were thinking that I am tall enough, strong enough, and talented enough, smart......oh wait you weren't thinking that.   You are thinking that this is how I think every time I get the urge to roller blade and get my butt movin.   I knew that what you were thinking.  You are right I am, well I am thinking about those dusty old things in the closet and just wish someone would call and tell me that I am just to old to roller blade and that I can't do it anymore.   Then I would have to show them I totally could still do it.  

Roller blade and watching me fall would be so fun to see when I watch my life flash before my eyes, because I would think "well at least I did it".   I always have good intentions, I am just working on the follow thru part of my plans.  HEY! I am getting there.  I am getting better. 

I wonder if the self cheerleader part would help if I got myself a uniform?  Hahahaha!
If this old blog post of mine just flashed in your head like it did mine, don't worry I won't get the megaphone.
