I have a question for you. I want you to be completely honest with me (well, yourself, but me too).
Do you wake up excited about each day?

Come on, you mean you don’t wake up and scream,”I AM ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE!”?
Well, if we’re taking this question literally, I can assure you I don’t. I’d be lying if I said I even cracked a smile first thing in the morning (maybe I need a dog or a boyfriend). Unless it’s Friday. In that case, I wake up instantly happy. 😉
Generally the smile comes after some coffee, a little prayer and a reminder of what I’m grateful for. After I’m caffeinated I really do get excited about each day. Have you ever just sat down and thought about how amazing it is that you woke up this morning? It really is. You’re granted the opportunity to make amazing things happen every time you wake up.
Make an effort today to make AMAZING memories.

Have an AMAZING conversation.
Be AMAZING at work.
Complete one last AMAZING workout before the weekend.
Take a look in the mirror, love yourself and say, “I am AMAZING today.”

HAHAHA to the cover squirrel!! I am losing it! This is such an awesome post, lady 🙂 Sometimes, we forget to be grateful for each day & make each day amazing. I’m going to make today amazing (I’m currently enjoying my coffee so it will be extra amazing after I’m caffeinated!) LOVE it!!
I need the verdict — How much extra amazingness did you experience after your coffee?! 😉
Oh, it was magical. Amazingness squared! Hahaha 🙂
Laughing so hard at the squirrel picture! I definitely needed this today–my run this morning was really just blah, but this post is a good reminder that even if things don’t go exactly how we want them to, that shouldn’t lessen them at all. I’ve got a busy day ahead before my weekend can officially start, but I’m going to try to keep this idea in my head. 🙂
I hope you were able to keep it up and make your day amazing! I know how you feel about your run being sub-par. I always just try to look at it as better than not running at all.
Your posts are always so positive and inspiring! I love it because I always read them first thing in the morning (when I’m still in bed and trying to get my eyes to work — pre-iced-cafe).
HAHA yessss! I’m glad they’re still inspiring pre-coffee 🙂
I just died laughing at the squirrel. HAHAHAHA
Hahahaha it’s seriously the best!
