Ok, I know what you're probably thinking. Why do I have a profile pic of me in black, tattered flats but the name of the blog is 'Living in Pumps'!?! Well, it has to do with the idea of the pump and what it represents. Pumps have a way of making me feel on top and in control. I don't know about you, but with so many uncontrollables in my life it's nice to have something as simple as a pair of pumps to make me feel like Wonder Woman. "But that still doesn't explain those damn flats," you may say. Hey, even Wonder Woman had to have her off day ;) And yes those "off" days have been more common for me lately. That's ok though because I look at pumps vs flats like I look at life when it comes to good vs bad days. You have to have those bad or "off" days to appreciate the good or "pump" days. These past two weeks have been full of anxiety, stress, worry and all other kinds of negative words you could possibly think of. But I woke up Monday morning, determined to have a positive outlook for the day ahead. It wasn't a perfect day but it did go better than it normally has been for these past weeks. I'm not here, trying to give mambo jumbo about having a positive attitude all the time...it just ain't possible lol. I can only take these steps one day at a time, sometimes even a minute at a time. All I can do is try. Whoever happens to read this, I wish you many minutes and days of happiness. So here I go, resting these
black, tattered flats and calling it a night.
