I am steadily learning to love my life, the one God gave me, the life that he allows me to take another breath each and everyday. I am trying to learn to take nothing for granted and live life to the fullest the best way I know how. I have a pretty amazing life. I have a stable job, dependable car, sufficient money for the things I need, great health and a very loving family, especially very loving, kind and caring parents. I am now nearing 27 years old and when I look back I have A LOT of things to be proud of. I am the first person in my immediate family to graduate from high school with a diploma and then go on to college. Some awful things have happened over the past 2 years but God doesn't promise everyday will be great. There will be bad times and good times. There will be trials and tribulations. I am learning to not let things get to me and to just go with it and not worry. It stresses me out and then it makes me a very un-likable person.
Oh sometimes I wish I had a better job, better car, a home of my own but I am still making my way and I am working toward financial freedom and getting myself out of debt. I want to be able to make informed decisions and informed purchases and cut up all unnecessary credit cards. Those things can become way out of control way too quickly. I need to be financially stable enough so that when I want to make my first home/land purchase I can do so knowing that I am not having to borrow money to do so. I want to pay of my medical bills from my surgery last year and also pay off a few other debts I have from a previous medical emergency.
I have 3 amazing children in the form of miniature dachshunds and they want nothing but my love which they get plenty of and even on my worst day they can make me feel the best I have ever felt. I know that things are working out just how God has planned and I sometimes am too impatient to wait for his timing. I need to just work more towards letting his will be done and let his timing be done and not worry or stress about when I will meet "Mr. Right" or when I will have my first child or when I will purchase my first home, etc. Things will work out just as planned and there is nothing I can do to change that.
I have also finally found my inspiration again with digital scrapping and documenting my memories, events and photos again. I had lost all my mojo there for a while but have finally gotten it back. I can say it is nice to know that there are people who actually love your work and want you to create things for them. I'm not expert but I love this form of art and expressing myself through it this way. So you may see a few of my scrap pages posted here soon, as soon as I can get them all gathered and posted.
Until then, I leave you with this thought - What have you done today to make someone else's day? Just a simple smile can save one person and let them know they matter. Be kind for we know not what battles others are battling for each is different. Ask someone how they are and listen to them, you just might save them.
Love Always
