I am . . .

Right now, I am… Posted: 28 Sep 2011 04:13 AM PDT …in a hurry to get this RFP finished so I can have the weekend off!  …kind of frustrated because the lady I work with is slow when it comes to computers and working efficiently!  …a little jealous of people who just can throw anything on and look super cute. …immensely grateful that I love a man that loves me no matter how rough I treat him after a bad day at work(working on this).  …remembering exactly how blessed I am to have great friends and an amazing support system!  …thankful that Shauna and I are in good health and it is important to us to always be that way.  …hoping to get everything packed, cooked, and iced down for the first leg of our road trip tomorrow night.  …excited because I get to see my best friend, Katie this weekend!!!  …still hemming and hawing about getting the wall paper finished in the kitchen.  …encouraged by the appreciation I am now feeling at work after finally standing up for myself.  …discouraged by the lack of motivation in my boss to expand and move more technologically based within our department.  …happy that I have a partner that always makes things 50/50. . . it's important to do things together and be a team. Thankful he feels the same.  …loving the amazing weather we are having . . . i want to move my desk oursidE!  …remembering that I need to make sure Rocky Bones is taken care of this weekend while we are away.  …wishing it was already Thursday afternoon!  …low on caffeine this morning.  …tired of high gas prices, road trips are for saving on money!  …excited about watching AR football live in Dallas Stadium with the best friends a girl could ask for!  …happy that the kinks have been pretty much worked out for the weekend. . . smooth sailing for  here on out!  …anxious to get all pack, loaded, and on the road!  …heading off to get everyone fed and ready to go out the door. What are you doing/thinking right now?

Be you!

There are times in my life when I wish I could do something as well as someone else or possibly even be someone else. I think if we were being honest, we would have to admit we have done this once, twice or maybe every day. As hard as we try, for whatever reason, we will never be someone other than ourselves. BUT . . . . We can be amazing at who we truly are!

We all write, dance, learn, pray, and love in different ways. We have to love ourselves other for our individuality. . . because after all, that’s what makes us who we are! 

We can learn from others, build on what they have done, and apply our own unique touch to it. I have had to realize that no matter how hard I try, I am not perfect. Situations aren’t always going to be perfect, plans aren’t always going to go perfect, and my hair isn’t always going to look perfect. : )  Once I came to realize this, I felt as if I was finally living. I don't seem to worry about the little things as much any more. I give each day the best shot I can and that’s all I can do. When I lay my head down at night I want to know I gave it my all- every time!

You make a really great you!! March to your own drum and sing your own song . . . when we are being who we truly are on the inside it shows on the outside! Accept yourself and start living!! 

Life IS hard!

You just have to keep getting up and keep on trying!
