Be Thankful

If I looked at my life a year ago and saw what was ahead for me in 2014 I would put a caution sign: WARNING!! 

When they say everyday is a gift.. they're not lying. I've lost loved ones this year, been through emotional heartache, terrible accidents, and life struggles.  As this last month of 2014 comes upon us, it should be months of happiness, joy, unity, and peace. Though, this isn't guaranteed. 
In fact, nothing is guaranteed. Just when things seem to be going right, God hits you with another curve ball... see if you can handle this. 
Our struggles can make us or break us. With so many unexpected events, it can be easy to break. Yes, it would be easier to break....
DON'T
Sometimes the positive things in life are hidden by the negative things. We must remember the positive to get us through the negative. 
I am blessed to have been able to travel to 3 different countries, have an amazing birthday, and began to transform my way of thinking. 
After each positive event this year, ironic enough, something terrible happens. Life is a rollercoaster, I now understand that. 
As I continue to grow as a person, I'm sure my life will be filled with many more happy and sad times. 
I refuse to let the sad have dominance over me. 
Remember that there is a vast world before you.  Don't get trapped in your own.

Time Flies

    August? Already? Where did summer go? Summer is my favorite season. I love everything about it- warm nights, lightning bugs, fruity drinks, and swimming in clear water. Too bad it seems to be the shortest season around here..
   This year has brought many changes and new experiences. From traveling 3 different countries to losing a loved one. I'm so thankful for the lessons I have learned and how much I have grown as a person. Things may not always go as we want or expect them too, but we must remember, God has a plan for us.

It's true that you tell the people you love everyday that you love them. This is especially hard for me because I'm not a very affectionate person.. but atleast make sure they know how much they mean to you! Spend as much time as you can with those close to you. Talk about their childhood, experiences, dreams, life lessons, ask them questions! I will never forget the things my mawmaw taught me & how she shaped who I am as a person. I'm so thankful I got to spend the time with her I did! I'm most definitely the most like her out of her grandchildren.. we had a special bond. So many memories that mean SOOO much to me... now I know she is in a better place, with all the people she always talked about, and of course, with God. 

Those memories will forever reside in my heart. I was blessed to have such a extremely loving, classy, thoughtful grandmother! RIP mawmaw Lynn. <3

Wake up everyday and consciously make an effort to make it the best day you can. When things get tough, always keep hope, because without it, we have nothing.
