Thankful

I am so thankful for all that I have. I have family and friends that I love and I know they are always here for me. I have a roof over my head, a nice bed, and food on my table. I am able to drive down the paved nice roads feeling safe. I have a wonderful school, with teachers who care. I have thousands of books that I can read. I have a church down the street and I am able to share my beliefs with those around me. I have windows that I can look out and see the sun shining, hears the birds chirping and see the beautiful colors of the trees and flowers. I am so very thankful for everything that I have! My goal is to be thankful all 12 months instead of just 1. I know that I am so blessed even though I don't acknowledge it all the time and I take what I have for granted. Let's all try to be a little more thankful. Happy thanksgiving!!!!

Priorities

It started out fine. Just a small bump we all needed to get over. We knew what we had to do to be stronger than it and get past it. We were ready but we all said stupid things. We got over those things but you didn't. We all should of been able to get past that but I guess you weren't ready to forgive and forget. You held a grudge. We warned you, you were going to get hurt like we already had. You made the choice to pick him over us. You didn't know what we did and you showed that you didn't care. Then you made your decision. You chose something that we knew would hurt you. And then most importantly, you betrayed us and showed us your true colors. If you knew what we did, everything would of changed. You still don't know what we did which is a shame. I think you deserve to know. I know this wasn't all your fault but when we apologized you didn't want our fogiveness. But I'm ready to forgive you. I'm not going to let it bug me anymore and waste my energy. You decided what's important to you. I'm sorry that what is important in our lives doesn't match up with eachother. You have caused more heartache than you could know but I forgive you. I apologize for myself and you fogive me when your ready but know that I won't be holding my breath.
I miss you. Just know that.

What Life Is Really About

Life is about learning to dance in the rain. It's about making lemonade from lemons. It's about hugging those closest to us but also reaching out to those who need a hug.
Life isn't always easy and there Is no pamphlet that tells you what to do. We all learn from each other and teach each other. I believe that the most important life lessons are those that we didn't plan on learning.
Most importantly to me, life is about learning to love and give.
