Just a little bit of encouragement

"You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think." ~Christopher Robin from Winnie the Pooh

My roommate and I just recently watched Pooh's Grand Adventure and both of us wrote down this quote that Christopher Robin tells Pooh. I decided we all need a reminder of this every once in a while. We're always put into situations in which we're pushed beyond our normal limits and we get discouraged. We wonder why it is we have to deal with all the obstacles that come in our way. But hindsight is 20/20, and when we're past whatever we are struggling with, it all makes sense. But in the moments when we hate everything, this quote helps. It's also kind of funny to me that a movie I watched when I was five is now helping me when I'm 19. I feel like the more I grow up, and the more complicated this life becomes, the more I look for simplicity... which often times comes in the form of a Disney movie.

Speaking of Winnie the Pooh... Here's a pug dressed up as Tigger.

Here's my attempt to keep myself positive. Too often, I get caught up in the stress of life and forget to slow down and appreciate things. When I do slow down though, I tend to find something that keeps me going.
I don't have a crazy talent like cooking or basket weaving, but I have always found joy in making people smile, and I hope that maybe my thoughts might touch someone. If not, at least I know it helped me get through another day of being a stressed out college student in the smelly, boring town of Greeley, CO.

With that being said, here's one of my favorite pieces of advice:
