We all have a social mask, right? We put it on, we go out, put our best foot forward, our best image. But behind that social mask is a personal truth, what we really, really believe about who we are and what we're capable of.

Where did YOU come from?

Do you know what is SUPER annoying!?  The last time I checked in with "self", I was feeling quite empty inside.  And as I sit here tonight, (greatly distracted by some jewelry online & countless other things), I can't find that darn empty feeling... and Who is this?  I feel ALIVE inside again... Kristen is in there and she woke up from her nap and wants to come out and PLAY!  All I can say is "Where did YOU come from?"

Now don't get me wrong, I am not complaining.  I have missed her quite frankly.  See, we go way back.  She has gotten us into a lot of trouble, laughed many laughs, cried many tears, and she is one of the craziest people I know!  But for a while there, my mountains were taller than me, and I couldn't see thru the clouds or over the peaks.  I spent more time looking at my feet scuff the ground or stress over BILLS (heaven forbid!) than I did anything else.  But here's what I have been thinking about lately... This actually just came to me-What if our valleys, our low points, are actually the OPPOSITE of what we make them.  Those low points, trials.. The stuff that really makes you say "blehhhh!"; bring us to a higher point of: understanding, faith, contemplation, consciousness, happiness, or F. All of the Above.

I look at the past few months and giggle out of gratitude.  I came upon a splendid idea once upon a time that suggested "Character building is not always comfortable"...   ~Take a moment and ponder that one.... ahhh, it's liberating....

I'll leave you on that note.  Until next time,
Kristen <3
