Another Year Older...

Wow, I can’t believe it’s been three whole years since I started this blog. It’s kind of crazy to look back and see how far I’ve come, and how much I’ve grown. I feel happier, stronger, and more at peace as a person now, than ever before over the span of my life. I won’t lie… I’m kind of proud of myself.

That being said, there is still work I want to do, and goals I want to accomplish. So much so, that I often feel super anxious because I feel like time is just running out. But, I think as long as I stay organized and on top of my goals, I’ll accomplish what I want. (Hopefully!) There are so many things that I’m looking forward to. For one, my bestie is getting married! So, I’ll be traveling to Italy for the first time for the wedding. And while I’m over in Europe, I also hope to make a stop in Paris! I’m also looking forward to making my new house, more of a home. I’ve lost some steam with getting everything in order, but I hope that in the next couple weeks I can start making progress again.

I can’t quite put my finger on it, but I feel like I’m at a turning point. Like, things will be changing. And, that makes me both excited and nervous. While I want the challenges to keep on coming, so that I continue to grow as a person, with new experiences adding to my overall level of understanding. I also worry these challenges could be extremely painful. I just pray that God continues to work on me, and teach me lessons in kind and loving ways.

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...
