LESSONS

Sunday night i was at work and i didn’t want to be there.  the drive to work was a sad one and as my shift started, negative emotions started to overwhelm me… anxiety, distraction, disappointment.  and here i was. stuck. awake. for 12hrs.  my mind gives me claustrophobia sometimes and i just wanted to run. to escape the thoughts that were entangling me. my beautiful friend, rachel, texted me saying to cast all my cares upon Him. how do i do that?? …

“how do i do that?” was my short little prayer that night, and soon i felt a slight change. i was reminded of the weekend i had just left in order to come to work, and you know what? it was really great. and by filling my mind with negativity and worrying about things that i could not change, i was ruining the good things and adding nothing to my life. so i started to let things go… i’m a work in progress for sure, but here are some reminders of why life is so wonderful and not so bad :)

i spent the weekend watching college baseball with some of my very favorite people. the weather cooperated fairly well, with a grand finally of a gorgeous sunday :)

I got to enjoy my beautiful “niece” and “nephew,” and spend some needed quality/relaxing time with my sister-friend :)

my family is amazing. those who i am related to by blood, and those who i am not. i spent alot of time with my brothers and my parents this weekend, and we had so much fun. we laughed harder than i have in quite some time, we talked about everything, ate good food, enjoyed the sunshine. i am very thankful for how much we enjoy eachother. i think i am quite lucky :)

oh and monday i got to watch this super cool band play and hang with some great, lovely, long lost friends :) splendid.
