Grief

When your loved ones pass away, many people try to comfort you by letting you know that they are in a better place and this is the time to celebrate their life and to think about all the good times you had with that person.   

Grieving the death of a person can be as equal to grieving the death of a relationship with a person.  Sometimes relationships end unexpectedly and we are left with many questions but there are times when we just know that it was all coming to an end but denial sets in.  
When there is a lot of pain in a relationship there is a sense of relief once that relationship is over and that you can start to live your life without any worries.  It hurts to see someone leave your life but it also starts to feel good that you can feel free.  You can also remember what was good about that relationship, maybe even learn a lesson or two.  People enter and leave our lives for a reason and looking at the silver lining can help remove negative feelings.  

There are many people that mean so much to me and I would hate to have them leave my life but sometimes their paths do not include me, no matter how hard we try.  Sometimes it’s for the best to move on with your life because you have to trust that they are in a better place in their life.  

A lose hurts but it can be for the best.  Remember the good times, learn from the challenging times and keep focusing on the future.

What a beautiful day!

What a beautiful day it is to appreciate the people who we all love and care about the most.  Sometimes they are going through life changes, tragedies and various other issues which can be a vulnerable place to be in.  

My family and friends are familiar to having to fight through challenges and overcoming each one.  I can testify that my faith has kept me near sanity because this year has been an interesting one and I am here to say that I am getting through it all and I am starting to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  

For those who have lost a loved one – hang in there!

For those who are experiencing heart break - hang in there!  

For those who are looking for a job - hang in there!  

For those continuing to receive bad news - hang in there!  

Just hang in there because you too will see the light at the end of the tunnel and it can get better.   

If this does not apply to you then just take this time to reach out to those who may be dealing with some difficult issues/circumstances.

Enjoy this beautiful day to appreciate the people who we all love and care about the most.

It's Been Awhile

It has been a while since I wrote anything.  I felt a little unmotivated to do much lately and I hope I am out of that slump.  I have plenty to be motivated about because since I am taking some time before going back to school, I will have more time to focus on me.  But, what do I want to do?  

I want to start working out more but my old knee injures are coming back but I suppose I just need to push through it since I want to tone up.  Maybe I should take some art classes or writing classes to help me be a bit more creative.  There was a book that I was planning on writing but I forgot what the plot was :-)

Photography!  I totally forgot about that.  I need to get into that again because it just brings me a sense of peace.   

I just don’t want to have the same routine every singe day.  As much as I love not having homework, I just miss how it made time go a bit faster for me.   

However, being busy again reduces the amount of naps I get to have – so many pros and cons :-)

My Examples

I look around and everyone I know is all grown up.  I am not talking about them just moving out their mom’s house, I am talking about really getting out there and starting their own path.   

One of my close friends is getting married, another one is starting a singing career, new jobs and promotions, graduate school and so much more is happening all around me.  I am glad to say that I have a good foundation of friends that we can all be examples to do better for each other.  

It is hard sometimes to stay connected with all of them but when we do get a chance to connect, it is like we never were away from each other.  One of my friends will call me when he does not see my number on his recent call list, which I love!  Or if someone asks me, “how is so-and-so doing?”, and if I can’t give new information then I know I need to get in contact with them ASAP!  

We are all over the place with so many things happening and I just want to say that I am grateful to have such good examples around me.

Living In Fear

What happened in Colorado was horrible and my prayers go out to those families who lost someone that day.

There have been many tragedies around the world that has changed our views on the world and especially changed some of our behaviors. There have been comments from many people about not going to the movies or at least not viewing the latest Batman movie because of what happened. When I saw the movie this past Saturday, those same thoughts did cross my mind but then I realized I cannot live in fear.

I go to the movies at least once a week and it is a place where I like to get away and be distracted from daily stresses. I couldn't imagine not going to a place I love to go.

I don't know when my time here is up but I still have to keep living. However, this incident made me reflect on my beliefs and faith. I think having a closer relationship with God will reduce any fears I may have. This may not be for everyone but I feel it's my solution so I can continue to live with no regrets or fears.

Enjoy every second with your friends and family doing the things you love like going to the movies, because tomorrow isn't promised.

Good Morning

Good morning to being free from stress of worrying about other people who did me wrong. The lies and sneakiness will rest comfortably away from me and they will wake up to karma.

Good morning to that "I'm almost there" feeling. Knowing there is something better coming my way puts my mind to rest.

Good morning to an open heart. I am finally making room for love that is deserving of me. I'm a hopeless romantic so I know it's out there.

Good morning to good friends, family, health and thank God I have another morning to wake up to.

My Land of Opportunity

We give riches to the poor and hope to the hopeless.  This place allows for dreams to become a reality and we can now live off our imaginations.  However, I do not think this land just gives or allows for these things to happen.  You have to work hard for it.  

I am finding that hard work can pay off but sometimes the right opportunities do not come along as quickly as you would hope.  What more can I do?  How much more can I apply myself to achieve my goals?  There are many people who get degrees hoping for a better outcome and yet they too feel stuck in a hopeless situation.  

How many mountains and valleys do we have to travel through before we get to our destination?  “Are we there yet?  Are we there yet?” is what we keep asking ourselves.  Determination and patience seem to be the key to success and we will eventually get there – but when?  It just seems like an endless path.

I want to start making my dreams into reality but life’s distractions make it a bit hard to know that there is better coming.  I cannot wait to live off my imagination. Oh the ideas that I have!
