Simplicity

"Sometimes you'll reach a point when it feels like your life is on the edge of a cliff. Your stomach is in your throat, knees wobbled by gut-wrenching tragedy. No matter where you are in your journey, young or old, you'll face times when you've lost control. You'll feel hopeless, insecure, and scared.

Yet even in those times, at the depth of despair, no hope, no options, there's always a light to guide you. That light is inside you, the undying spirit given to you at birth, the will to live, to survive, to keep going. Clinch it. Hold on tight, and with all your might, push yourself off the ground, take a deep breath, look UP, and listen.

There's a voice, silently whispering; "This too shall pass. Keep going. You've got what it takes. You'll make it. Don't give up!"

For the past few days, I've sat wondering what to blog on. Its not as easy as you would think, but during my thinking I've seen it really was easy... I'm going to blog about those "simple" things in life that you would never notice until you over analyze things. Until you become so stressed and overwhelmed that the little things become quite big. Let's write this blog in list form so its easiest to understand.

When Joey wakes me up in the mornings to tell me bye- Something so minor mean so much to me. I will wake up everyday at 5 in the morning for the rest of my life if it means spending those few little minutes with him. We get all snuggled up literally for less than 5 minutes. Then, I tell him to have a good day, that I love him, and Bye. Seems so pointless to some... But to me, if he doesn't wake me, I feel like my whole day is off.

When I get out of the shower and my Allie Belle is sitting out their waiting for me- Makes me feel like she actually missed me for the 15 minutes I was out of her site. And its just so cute to walk out of there and see her whining just because she wanted me.

When I call and talk to my Mom- Everyone can call their Mom, but I feel so much better after I talk to her. I want nothing more out of life than for her to be proud of me at the end of the day. I know I've made mistakes and we've had a rocky relationship, but she is my Mom and loves me for me. I am absolutely amazed at her and how much of a strong person she is. I only hope I am half the mother she is today.

When Stacye and I go on little dates- Those meant so much to me. We also have had some ups and downs, but at the end of the day, I'd go to the end of the Earth for that girl. And I know she would for me too. Lord knows I dont tell her enough, but I am proud to call her my bestfriend.

When someone randomly messages you words that make you feel amazing- Aunt Mary wrote on my wall today, and literally made my day. I've been having some what of a blehblah day. Just not feeling happy, but not feeling sad. Got a lot on my mind, but then with that one post, I began to smile and see how blessed I am. I love her. She is the best aunt and my favorite <3

When I have dreams about my Papaw Roger and its like he is still right with me- A lot of people would think its weird, but I have dreams where we he is still with me. Like down here in Louisiana. Memories that I have no way of knowing, because he has never been here with me and has been dead for many years now.  But they are soothing. Almost comforting, kinda like he is up there watching out for me and is letting me know that I'm okay...

When I'm having an off night and I message Aaron and he just lets me vent- He and I have been up and down a lot too, but never once has he turned his back on me. He is truly like a brother to me and always makes me feel better about anything I am going through. A great person, and my best friend.

Sunsets- They are beautiful, no matter where you see them. Whether its on the beach some where, or just riding down the road after spending time with someone you love. A beautiful sight that puts life into perspective.

This blog may be my most boring, but take the time to think about the "simple" things in your life. They are the things that make life worth living. My life isn't perfect, but it IS perfect. I'm so blessed. <3
