Instead of Sunshine

I’m starting to believe that the sun is never going to shine for a full day again in Kampala, seriously how can it rain every single day for two weeks? Today I’d had enough of the dreary weather so I decided to wear a bright yellow skirt, which was originally a dress but I cut it into a midi length skirt, because I somewhat reminded myself of Big Bird every time I wore that damn dress. This was somewhat a desperate measure to bring some sunshine into my life.

It was a cold day, AGAIN so I decided to wear something long sleeved, I chose this black crop top with nylon shoulders, all in all this kept me warm and brightened my day just a little, but seriously though…I’m in need of some sunshine. So good old Ugandan sunshine is what I need.

  

  

 

I love this purse because it has colors that go with almost everything, and I got them from my momma! The shoes are some of the most comfy pairs of heels I own seriously these shoes are so comfy, even though with all the rain, those heels do dig into Kampala’s sometimes muddy streets

  

  

 

If you’re like me, and you are in need of some cheering up in these last few cold and gray days, here’s a little advice that I’m following: wear something bright, it helps! Listen to upbeat music…I’ve become a housaholic these last few days, thanks to a friend for giving me a huge selection of house music…I find music has an incredible way of changing people’s moods, so if you want to be happy, well listen to some happy music, lastly…choose joy and gratitude…I always find when I’m feeling down the easiest way to lift my spirits is to find something to be thankful for and focus all my energy on thinking about how much that thing means to me. Today I was thankful for the ability to do the things I love, maybe its watching The Fault In our Stars that got me thinking how lucky I have been to have been healthy enough all my life to do the things I want to do.

  

  

I’ve noticed how I’ve taken this for granted, not exercising, or not eating right. Even though I’m not a horrible eater, and I do sometimes exercise, I realize I take the opportunity to do these things for granted and slack when it comes to treating my body right (I need to start exercising and eating better)

I’ve made a decision to use my body more, I mean exercise, do sports, get out their more and do things that push me! So I’m thankful for that and as a result I’m wearing joy all over myself, wrapped around my skin and the deepest parts of my being…Today instead of Sunshine, I choose joy.
