Life is FINALLY starting to slow down. Lots of things have been removed from my metaphorical plate. And I'd love to say that I haven't added more to replace it...but I have. Just not as much. : )
I'm bored...so I'm gonna create a format of things that I'll always list or comment on in a post. They are as follows:
- Blessings: Sometimes I think that we forget just how blessed we are. As individuals, as a family, as a church, as a nation, et cetera. We get so caught up in our own fish bowls that we forget there's a whole ocean of people out there around us. I'm just gonna comment on how blessed I am to have my family. I was notified (via Facebook status) that one of my classmates father died yesterday, and I'm reminded that we aren't promised tomorrow. One of my classmates (unrelated to afore mentioned classmate) gave a speech on how we need to embrace life. To love our friends and family and not let petty (or not so petty) squabbles block us from showing that love. I always remember the mother in Little Women telling Jo (I think it was her...) "don't let the sun go down on your anger." Feelings like anger, bitterness...they only hurt us...and prevent us from truly enjoying the relationships we have.
