My 1st week of summer

Oh ladies and gentlemen,

How are ye? Hopefully just dandy and blissful!

Another day is here and another day for me to appreciate and live to the fullest! I realized that I feel more content and happy lately then I have in a long time. It's strange, I've been away from civilization for 3 weeks, and yet I am still content. I've already been having an amazing week home, full days of seeing people and doing things, and I am realizing that my perspective has changed on things.

Even when I'm feeling frustrated or annoyed it feels different then it did even a month ago. I feel really optimistic and I've been trying to make sure everyday I have a great day. It's funny, I've been working 10 hour days with not much fun, and I'm already having a better summer then some people.

A lady said to me on my first week of work that, the ladies in camp are tired and ready to retire but they literally can't. She said they are all bitter but she chooses to have a good day, everyday. And it hit me. I can choose to be miserable and grumpy everyday and hate that I'm away missing out on activities here in Edmonton with my friends, or I can choose to make the most of my summer, and enjoy the new people I've met and the new things I'm experiencing. That is my choice. I pick the second option.

I hope you all are able to make the most of the situations that you are experiencing. Choose to be happy. Choose to make the most of your lives! This summer is going to be a great one!

Much love,
xo
