Outlook... SHMOUTLOOK!!!!

OMG I'm Getting OLD!!!  So, I was just at a concert and WOW did I feel old.  Don't get me wrong, they were good... I'm just getting old.

Okay so that's not exactly why I meant by "Outlook... SHMOUTLOOK!!!"  How about this... so at the concert there were A LOT of 'younger' people than myself whether they really were younger or just look younger, but either way they made me fee younger.  And it just reminded me of my good ol'days when I use to be in their exact position having those 'X's' written all over my hands .. lol... But one though that stood out for sure was they were having fun.  Regardless of the time of day, stinky smelly people they were surrounded by, troubles of the real world... they were happy.  They didn't care about anything at that very moment except the band... and the music!  Which makes me wonder what's happened to me?  Why am I now allowing all these daily dramas rule my life? Why can't I just sit back and enjoy life like I use to with no worries?  Sure I have bills, traffic to drive through every morning, daily work related stress... but who doesn't?  How can I be more optimistic?  Why can't I automatically see the good in things?  Why can't I be more positive like how some people see me as?  Why am I such a grouch?  I mean no one's done anything really horrible to me that's making me hate the world.  I have an awesome family... a perfect.... loving boyfriend... the most adorable dog... amazing set of friends that span the globe.... a job... easy to work with co-workers... a very promising future in all aspects possible...

So what is it?  Why is my outlook on life not as simple as it was before?

My challenge to myself... to live this week as if no one is watching me... just like how i feel when i sing my heart out in the shower... and just enjoy life... you only life once right?  i say... let's not live a non-grouchy one!

    DITTO! That's why you got that book! =P

    Although, last night, for the first time in a long time, I actually forgot about all the worries of my life. Just for those 3 hours though. Lol.
