Keep Calm and Sparkle On

02/08/14 | Etsy, Fashion and Style

Honestly, today I feel like crap. At 6:25 last night I was supposed to be boarding a train heading down to Washington, D.C. for winter alumni weekend. I was planning on a late dinner with friends, visits to my favorite watering holes and today, cheering on my Hoyas at the basketball game and tons of other fun festivities.  Instead, I am stuck in NYC on crutches.
 
Really though, I have to put things into perspective – I had a great surgeon fix my knee (here and here), if all goes well in few months I will be in the best health since my prime swimming days. Yes, I will be missing a very fun weekend with friends but in the grand scheme of things, it is not a big deal. Two weeks ago I got this Vintage Dictionary necklace from Krafty Kash and it reminds me to smile every time I wear it – sparkle on!
 
 
I hope you all have a great weekend!
