The way I am

I love this picture....it brings a sense of peace and BOY OH BOY....I've needed it. It's been a world wind of busy since the beginning of the summer that if you where to ask me to write out or tell you all that has happened it would either look like a pile of melted crayons or just a blank page with the word "Well.."

But I can't complain because it's been a summer full of blessings. Yes just like every blessing there has been something that I wish wouldn't of happened, but then how would I of ever learned who I was, how I react, how to get through, how to pray...all that. So I have come to the conclusion that I will embrace what I have been given, I will love every moment-good or bad. I will treat each day as a gift...it's the way I am going to be.

Makayla started kindergarten and it just doesn't seem possible. 6 years at times felt like it took forever but then I look back and it is a blur. It seems just like yesterday that I received the news that I was going to be a mom and before I could take it all in she is off to school and if I don't enjoy this moment before to long she'll be graduating and leaving for college-starting off her adult life. Please time, slow down just a moment so I take nothing for granted and that I enjoy this life, this ride.

Today I met a dear friend for lunch and I enjoy these times with her. I feel like it's a good connection and that I walk away feeling blessed to know her, to have her in my life. While I was sitting at the restaurant waiting for her a song came on-it was country which means I usually zone out-it's just the way I am. But today I listened...and to be honest I liked the song. So much that I googled it and downloaded it to my phone. But it talked about love, having it and that we take nothing for granted, we enjoy the ride. We embrace every moment because one day we'll look back and wonder what happened to all this time we thought we had.

So enjoy the ride, love the moment and be who you are!
