Greetings,
Today I sat and slept and sat and rested and . . .
It feels like a waste of a day but my feet love me. My heels love me. My muscles love me.
I love the sun. Today was a great day where I got to rollerblade and run outside! It's been forever since I did that and now I can't wait until summer. Really though I just want to move somewhere warm!
Nothing new to report other than I am slowly coming out of this funk. SLOWLY being the key word. I am heading to Seattle next weekend for a "retreat" with my friend Stephanie. It's gonna be super relaxing and really fun. I can't wait. This week will go slow I am sure. I hope it's sunny so it will make it somewhat enjoyable. Doubt it though.
Yep I was always taught that if you don't have something positive to say, don't say anything at all. So I will leave it at that!
Other than Passion Tour 2012 was soooooo awesome and I've already bought the CD and listened to it a million times!
Later days!

Let the light shine in . . . face it with a grin.
Greetings!
I have been a grump, like a super grump for the last 2 weeks so I am going to take a little time out of my morning to write all the things that I recently have to be thankful for! (and in no particular order)
I am thankful for . . .
1. new cardio buddies - I have made a whole bunch of new friends that are supportive, good listeners, and motivating who enjoy doing cardio with me. Those would be, Michelle, Christa, Stephanie, Amy, Louise, Diana!
2. having time during the day to do things that make me happy - like watching Goofy Movie, sitting and having coffee, eating a hot breakfast
3. meeting with old friends for advice and catch up on their life
4. a loving family that listens to all my griping and still loves me for it
5. advice from my loving family, that I say is bad advice or not applicable, but really take to heart and apply it to my life, because they want what's best for me.
6. a God who never gives up on me, even when it feels like I have given up on Him
7. the friendly, outgoing personality that God has developed in me as I got older. I always thought I was the quiet, behind the scenes type of person, but in the past couple of years I have been transformed into a public speaking, want to be around people all the time, leader person
8. my jeep - I never really think about how much that thing carries me around, and for the gracious parents who bought it for me
9. a healthy knee
10. cheap rent and utilities and a roommate that I get along with
11. sleep
12. the strive for excellence that God has instilled in me, the drive to work hard at everything I do, and the commitment to be the best that I can be
13. a sister who teaches me about hair and makeup (you all know I need all the help that I can get)
14. a good paying job that I usually enjoy
15. clients who give me advice and health tips and teach me things everyday
And the list could go on and on.
I needed to just take a step back from my grumbly attitude and reflect on my blessings. It doesn't really change the struggles that I am going through, but it does give me perspective on my life. None of my trials compare to the trials of the world, but I have gotten so focused on all the crap that I have lost perspective.
So here's to a better day and the inward joy and peace I can find in a Saviour who loves me and wants to hold me.
