I love you.

If you didn't notice.. there is a new quote at the top of my page..
"When happiness seems to be nowhere around, remember.. it's waiting to be found"

This quote was given to me by my English teacher.
It's a reminder that there is always happiness in our lives.
Sometimes we cover up that happiness with everything bad, or wrong going on in our lives.

Why is it that we are so easily able to name off everything bad in our lives?
But we have to ponder to remember the good.

I challenge you to think about all the good in your life.
Make a list, or whatever. Ponder it.
Maybe just in doing so you'll actually realise there is happiness in a lot of things.

Future is bright.

Each day is a new step, to where I want to be, what I want, who I want to be.
Some steps are harder than others.
Sometimes letting go of the past can be hard.
I am not the same girl I was last year, last week, or yesterday.
Each day is filled with it's own struggles.
Like today, and the will to push forward..

Awhile back someone asked me a profound question, it went a little something like this...
"It seems like you were dealt a lot of bad cards, you have gone through many things others will never have to.. do you ever ask why me?"

My answer was something I always believe..
we are dealt our trials, and struggles, mine are just different.. there were different things I needed to go through.. everyone is different, so wouldn't their trials be different too?...

I sure have gone through many things, but their are blessing in opposition.
I am thankful for my blessings.

Hope.

"we must accept finite disappointment but never lose infinite hope"

Sometimes I just got to remember that even with bad things that go on, I can still have hope.

This week has been a trial of my faith. A trial of if I will persevere or give up. Many times I just wanted to give up, leave it all behind me. But I didn't and I was blessed for it.

Sometimes we just got to remember that sometimes..

Boys can mean.
There is more homework then time to do it.
Friends and family can disappoint you.
Death occurs to all.
and stress happens to all

But;

Friends can step up.
Family can help you.
There are some boys who can make your day always
After death there is something better
Making time for things that relieve you makes for less stress



P.S. This next weekend I am speaking at the FSA conference in Arizona. You should come. I can't promise I'll be a great speaker, but hey there are going to be some awesome people to listen to and it'll be a fun day.
