New Chapter

I am ready to start a new chapter in my life book. I need to stop, smell the roses more often, reflect on my"bucket list" and have at it! Life is too short to sit by and let it happen. It is time I got off of the sideline and jumped in.
Tomorrow starts a new day and a new sentence in my new chapter. It may take a little time to write the first paragraph, but as long as I write each day (take that chance, make that choice) then it will happen. It will happen...

Friendship

Friendship is great but what if that friend is not good for you? What then? Well, sometimes friendships have to end for various reasons. You have to let them go. I have given up a friendship and it is the hardest thing I have done in a long time. It's only been 8 days but it feels like a lifetime. Sometimes I wonder why but then I think-whatever.

Do you ever wonder why you are the way you are? Why you think the way you do? Is it because of your upbringing or is it truly because of the way God made you? Maybe they go hand in hand. Not sure but I think that often. Why? I am definitely not typical and I see life very differently than most. But I can live with that...

Life Goes On!

Okay, it's now 2010! New Year, new time, New Life? Working on that last one. Sometimes change is so dang hard! Why does life have to be that way? To keep us hoppin maybe? Oh well, life goes on and so will I. Some days it is extremely hard to keep walking. Some days it seems very lonely where I am. I have to remind myself that I have great friends and family that care about me. I am truly blessed, I just sometimes forget. On days like today, it's not so bad. Some days though, it is rough. The stupid thing is that we all have days like that and yet we spend them isolated. Duh...that is smart! :0)

Not really, but sometimes if we just reach out beyond ourselves, maybe we would get out of the funk and truly make a difference. I recently watched "The Blind Side" and I could relate to the woman that Sandra Bullock played. I can be that strong and outspoken, not afraid of situations or people. I would reach out to someone like that too. Oh wait, I have just in different circumstances. I just wish I had the same support system. My life might be different now too.

I will get better, I will move on and be what God has set for me. I just want to pass on all of the hard stuff and get there...but I know that if I do, I will miss quite a ride! :0)
