What Leaves Me in Awe Today?

Today I am in awe of my husband's love for me. I met him when he was fresh into the Navy and didn't expect anything to come from it. Seven years later I am with my best friend in the world. We often joke that we still like each other way too much to have been together for this long. He has to deal with a lot being married to me. I am not always easy to get along with. I have had medical issues over the past couple of years (and it doesn't look like they are going away anytime soon). But...through all of it he has been by my side. He never complains, and he just holds on to all the positive that I can't seem to find. What am I in awe of? My husband, my world.

What Do I want to Stop Doing Today?

What do I want to stop doing today? I want to stop worrying. I am once again in the cycle of having a ton of tests run to figure out what is wrong with my body. I am hoping that it is just something that is easily fixed, but my mind automatically goes to the worst case scenario. I want to be able to get up and just feel like a normal person. I want to stop being concerned about everything and let God handle it. I know this is not likely to happen though. *sigh*

Journaling Prompt

What made me feel most like myself today? There are those days that I feel like I am struggling to feel normal. There are those days that I feel like I have no idea who I am. Today was not one of those days. What makes me feel most like myself? Getting up and putting on nice clothes and fixing my hair. There is nothing like being able to look in the mirror and say, "Yes, today I look awesome!!" I go into my room and close the door. I blast those songs that you really don't want the kids to hear, and I dance and get myself ready. I love it. It makes me feel SPECTACULAR!! 

What made you feel like yourself today? Leave me a comment below letting me know.

Chasing My Dreams

Chasing your dreams becomes increasingly harder the older you get. A smart person leaves home after high school and goes off to college. I so wish that I would have done this and experienced the college life (frat parties and Spring Break *wink*). I got married, had children, and then went to college. Well guess what?! I got to spend my nights doing school work and my days cleaning house and changing diapers. FUN!! 

I have always known that I wanted to write. I want to publish several books. I want to edit other people's books. I want to be in the publishing community in any way that I can.  

What Do I Feel Certain About Today?

Today I feel certain that I will hold my children tighter. I had to experience a heartache with my children today after discovering the little boy that we had helped search for had actually been killed by a family member. Today I am certain that these three lil' people above are my world. I am certain that I could not imagine my life without them. I am certain that everything that I do, I do for them. I have come to realize that even when what I am doing is all about myself that it is actually to make me better for them. When I am chasing my dreams, it is to teach my children that they should always chase theirs. Today I am certain that almost my entire life exist in just one picture above.

What Am I Wishing For Today?

Today I am wishing for peace. I am wishing for a quiet place to vacation. I want to be able to disappear from the world for a little while and just recenter myself. I wish that I could just take off with my family and a tent for a week. There is nothing like the quiet of 6 A.M. in the wilderness. There is nothing like sitting around a campfire and just enjoying the company of each other without all the electronics and noise of the world. Today I wish for life. A life that is simpler than what I have now. Today I wish for peace.

Who Blessed My Life Today?

I woke up today with a heavy heart because of an eleven year old little boy who is missing from a town near by. I decided first thing that I was going to get dressed and go help in any way that I could. I spent my entire morning and part of my afternoon with an entire community of people. You may ask, "How did this bless your life?" I was able to see first hand how a community can come together and how businesses put aside their need for financial gain and donated hundreds of dollars in food and supplies. I knew that I had made the right decision. I knew that my life would forever be changed by what I saw today. I was blessed by an entire community.
