Found something today for a little pick me up, so I thought I'd share it with you. It's 25 signs that you have a successful life, even if it doesn't feel like it. :)

We’ve all had days, weeks, months and — for some — even years of dark days and depression. Whether we fall into ruts of self-sabotage, loneliness or insecurity, leading a happy, joyful life can sometimes feel like a chore.
I often tell my students and coaching clients they're doing so much better than they give themselves credit for.
Most of us are so busy trying to dodge life bullets, we forget to stop and appreciate the little victories.
Consider for a moment that you're doing a tremendous job at life. Living isn't an easy thing to do, but it can be enjoyable when we start to see the good instead of focusing on the bad.
You are actually living a good life by recognizing these 25 signs:
1. Your relationships are less dramatic than they use to be.
2. You may not have as much money as you want but you live a rich life.
3. You're not afraid to ask for help and support.
4. Where you live feels like home.
5. You’ve raised your standards.
6. You let go of things that don’t make you feel good.
7. You have moments where you appreciate who you see in the mirror.
8. You're working on limiting your inner critic and consciously choosing more positive thoughts.
9. You’ve learned that setbacks and failure are part of self-growth.
10. You have a support system that includes people who would do anything for you.
11. You hear “I love you” often, from friends, family or a partner.
12. You've accepted what you can’t change, but change what you can’t accept.
13. You don’t complain much, but instead focus on solutions.
14. You don’t blame your parents, and accept them for who they are.
15. You stopped caring about what others think of you.
16. You're happy for your exes when they move on.
17. You can celebrate others' successes.
18. You allow yourself to feel your feelings and are comfortable sharing them.
19. You have passions that you pursue.
20. You're able to accept compliments without deflecting.
21. You have things to look forward to.
22. You have goals that have come true.
23. You have empathy for others.
24. You feel connected to your work.
25. You love deeply and open yourself up to be loved by others.

That's something that's pretty fitting right now. It's hard sometimes to see the good things in life, and this just helps to show that things are better than we realize most of the time.
I really am doing my best to focus on the good things in life. Sometimes it's just really hard, ya know? There are always good things, but sometimes they are hard to see through the crazy stuff that's going on.

And today I'm gonna do the "So What Wednesday"
So what if the house isn't completely clean. My life is still cluttered, so the house doesn't really matter as much as it used to.
So What if I can't always keep up with my kids. We do what we can, and enjoy the times where I actually feel ok.
So what if life seems a bit crazy, there are still a TON of things in life that are going good.
So what if the car is in the shop, AGAIN, at least we have people who can give us rides where we need to go, without giving us too much trouble.
So what if I've watched every episode like 5 times, watching one of my favorite TV shows on Netflix is always a good distraction.

Okie dokie. Gonna go turn on some more TV shows, load up guild wars, and take some more painkillers. Hope everyone has a really good day. We deserve it.
LATER TATRE
