Be Rare

I heard something that just touched my heart last week… We are called to be rare. 
 
I just love that thought! 
 
And, it really made me think about all the ways that I adhere to society’s standards instead of my own.  How many times during the day do I just go with what society tells me is acceptable?  How many times do I do something simply because it’s a habit, even if it makes me uncomfortable?  And, I am super guilty of acting, talking, looking and thinking like the people around me, to appear a certain way, so that I receive approval from some, and consciously set myself apart from others.  And, how many times to I judge people for not being like me, and having similar priorities?
 
This week, let’s make sure we stand out in a way that shows everyone around us, we aren’t like everyone else.  Prove to people we come into contact with that there are good people in this world.  Hold the door for someone, be polite even when you’re ready to lose your shit, and go that extra mile when you don’t have to.

Happy April Fools' Day!

I'm not a very creative person, and have never come up with something truly funny to do to my friends, family, or any roommates I've had over the years.  Maybe one day I'll be able to put some of the ideas below to good use.  Until then... these are just amusing.

There is No Gain Without Struggle

We all struggle with something.  In our moments of struggle, it's impossible to think that other people could possibly be feeling the same hurt, frustration, and loneliness we are.  Remember you are not alone.  Struggling is a part of being human.  Without it, we would not appreciate the good things that we have.  Today, recognize that without struggle, we are not driven to be better.  You are better today, than you were yesterday.  Just keep going!  Keep taking steps every day to work towards your goals of personal development.

Blessed

  Ahh… the holidays are officially here and in full swing.   I had the most lovely visit with my family over Thanksgiving.   I am so blessed!!   We ate way too much, watched way too much football for my taste, and really just hunkered down for a couple of days enjoying each other’s company.   I didn’t even mind all the stuff everywhere.   J   I felt sad and lonely after everyone left on Saturday.   Luckily, I’ll get to see them again in a few weeks!!   There were many lessons learned over those couple of days.   For one, I need to maintain a healthy and active mind.   I also, need to stay on top of my hearing and monitor the progression of loss.   After being around my parents for a few days, I see my future, and I’m screwed.   LOL.   I paid attention at how my parents and my sister and her girlfriend interacted, and I can see evidence of the importance of maintaining open communication, and remaining fr...
