Life just races by...

It has been a couple weeks since I posted last. It as been a crazy time. We are FINALLY a family again. We had an amazing week in Texas. Ben and I even had a couple nights alone!!! We made so many wonderful memories over the last couple weeks with family and friends. Too many to go into detail! I hate being so behind!!! Instead I want to take a moment write down some of my thoughts.

I am constantly looking at myself and trying to learn more about what makes me tick and why. I feel like through reflection you are able to become a better person. I also think while looking in, you should also look out. I have had a lot of driving time which equals thinking/reflecting time. I have come up with some new goals.

#1: To be more cheerful. Life is so much more fun when you walk through it with a smile.

#2: To let go. Grudges only hurt yourself. Rather than hanging on to anger...be productive and find a way to fix what is making you mad.

#3: (most important) Love who I am. No one is perfect. Of course I have my flaws, but for the most part, I think I am a pretty amazing person ;)

I tend to take everything to heart. I over think things. Sometimes things are the way they are just because they are. Life happens, things change, people make mistakes but how you choose to handle it is up to you. Be someone who you are proud to be. Make choices that you can live happily with. Then at the end of the day...if someone doesn't like who you are, let them go. You shouldn't have to change for anyone.

A happier, less angry person is who I want to be. I am so lucky in life. I have the most amazing friends and family. I have happy, healthy children. A husband who I can laugh with, learn from, and continue to grow while hand in hand. Nothing else really matters.

I could go on for forever...
