Mama told me there'd be days like this...
It seems like when you start picking at your own life, something happens where you look at your life and really think...hey its not that bad! I've been upset about how my life is going for awhile now. I've been stressed and not knowing where my life should go. Then I wake up in the morning to see what has happened at Virginia Tech and all I feel lis thankful. Thankful that I've never been in a tragedy like that, thankful that my family and friends are healthy and ok. It is just important I think to look at all the things going right. I have a wonderful and healthy family, I have great friends, and I have a wonderful boyfriend who is the love of my life. I'm lucky. I'm thankful. I pray for all those lost, and all this affected by the tragedy.
Do you ever look at pictures in the past and think of the person you were then, or think of the time you took that picture and the feelings you had then? This past weekend my niece Ellie got baptized and her older sister Abby had her 3rd birthday. I looked back at pictures of when Abby got baptized. I'm her Godmother, and I looked at pictures from then and thought about how proud I was then. I'm still proud of that.
So the start of the school year for me started w/a damper to my 1 year relationship. We almost broke up because long distance was already after 5 days putting us into fight mode. We talked it out and ended up staying together. I know things are going to be hard of course, its always hard to keep a relationship going. In this last year I've realized that if you truly care about someone w/everything you got you'll do anything to make it work. I'm lucky to have someone whos always there for me, never lets me down and that I can honestly say is my best friend, maybe the best friend I've ever had. I think that when you're in a relationship w/someone and you share your life in every way that they become you're best friend. I never understood that until now!
thankful
