lovin life

I can't believe I have been so absent from the blogging world. Although I've never really been that into it, and I know no one really reads it anyway, but this serves as my release. It's more of an online journal for me...a way for me to dish, dump, and reflect. I find it amusing and educational to look back at my previous posts. It’s nice to look back and see where I was just months ago...in all aspects. I love looking back at my pictures and reliving the fun times, but I also know that some of my posts were at the hard times to. It’s nice to see how far I’ve come and realize how much I have grown. I am honestly so happy with where I am in my life today. I proud of the person I have become, and I am coming to accept all of my flaws. We all have them, and I’m trying not to sweat the small stuff. I know some things I can change, others I can't. And for those that I can, it’s up to me to make the changes. It’s on my shoulders. I’m learning about the real priorities in my life. I’m learning to be a big girl with big girl responsibilities, but it’s amazing to know I always have a place to fall back on if I ever need it. I am really appreciating the wonderful friendships I have. I value them, and am honestly working to maintain the ones that aren't so convenient now that I live in the city. I miss my girls back home, but a simple weekly phone call to catch up makes such a difference, and I know someday they will come out and visit me, and when they do, the city won't know what hit them!!

I guess I’m just really enjoying this part in my life. I seem to learn more about myself every day. I'm only 24, but I’ve learned a lot in my years on this earth. And I am so looking forward to the journeys that lie ahead. I’m planning for the future, but still finding time to enjoy each day as it comes. Finding the good, understanding the bad, and making the best of everything I have. This world has been good to me. I have definitely been blessed, and I am really appreciating all of it.
