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
