It’s funny how people wait anxiously for the new year to begin to “start over” instead of doing something about what they’re dreading on at the moment…Excuses…Excuses. People think about how much life can change in one year instead of thinking about how quickly it can change in hour. You can have pure happiness and in the matter of an hour total devastation can enter your life, that you just wish you could turn back the hands of time. But all that’s left is your photographic memory.
I’ve witnessed the heartache of losing a loved one…never did I imagine to break down into tears watching a mother mourn the death of child. But I also witnessed tears of happiness of a mother whose dreams came true after 23 years. Both will forever stay engraved in my heart.
There are those who decide to stay resentful over foolishness instead of getting over it…especially over things that happened months ago. Why makes yourself even more bitter when there’s so much life to live…
Then there are those who cling to things so tightly that aren’t meant for them… some times God tries to take you away from the one thing you want most because it’s just simply not for you…there is something better in store for you and as hard as it may seem at the moment you will get over it… Let It Be
I’m blessed to know exactly what it is for Life to change in One Hour, One Day, One Month…it’s so flippin exciting!
You travel to beautiful countries that Da Vinci once inhabited…You’re sitting surrounded by family the next hour you receive a phone call.
The next month you’re on a plane…meeting new people every day every hour and then on another plane to something even greater in the place you least expected. Somehow you’ve married yourself into this crazy career and life…and you just can’t seem to get enough of it. The natural high and adrenaline rush that comes with it is like no other. I love where I am at right now in my life and can not wait for what other accomplishments I can check off my list soon…
Experiences that make you stronger and mold you into that person you were hoping to grow up into when you were five on the first day of Kindergarten when your teacher asked you what you wanted to be when you grew up….who knew work could be so much fun!
The most important lesson is that there is nothing like family…they will always support you in your life….without them you have nothing you are never fully happy. They will always be the light that shines on me…whether a car ride or plane ride away…
