Gratitude

Don’t just make it a once in awhile thing... wake up each morning and go to bed each night with a heart full of thanks and gratefulness. Even in the worst situations, find the good.

I haven’t met you yet, that’s why I keep giving you strangers’ faces.

Life is a chore

I live life like it just needs to be done without reason. Like you breathe without wondering, you have inborn fears, you like some things and others you just don't. My life has a purpose, or did I just create it, so I didn't have to wonder about it? But I wonder about it, Life. I'm worried that I'm telling myself I'm living but its only because I'm already at half my breath, so I have to let the air in, there is not much choice.

Me: Can’t sleep

My past cringey memories: It’s free real estate

I wonder when I’ll stop being worried and paranoid all the time...

Me: gets stressed because of gaining weight

Also my coping mechanism with stress: eat more!!!

Feeling tired, but I’m not sleepy

Feeling lonely, but I have my family with me

Feeling empty, but I don’t want to stay like this

Gray for Days

All it takes to convince me the sun will never shine again is two straight days of gray/rainy weather. That’s it. I don’t think it rained once in the entire month of August, and then maybe once in September. We’ve had two gray days here in the suburbs of Philadelphia, and it’s getting chilly outside, and I am convinced that I will never see the sun again.

I was just watching fireworks in my backyard ten minutes ago, and now the heat is on and if things keep going this way, I’ll be digesting Turkey in a half hour, and in forty-five minutes we’ll be ringing in 2016 and frankly, I’m not ready. This has been a full year and 2016 promises to be even fuller, with the birth of my nephew and the wedding of my best friend both on the horizon. I am excited, and I am nervous that it will all fly by before I get a chance to drink it all up, and file it all away in my memory for rainy days like today.

My mom always told me time would start moving faster when I got older but lately, the days drag and the weeks fly, and I am at the mercy of the calendar and the clock.
