Spring break is just a couple of days away and I can not wait!! I am so looking forward to some time off and hopefully some good weather. It, the weather, has been great this week. I believe I even got a little sunburn today!

I'm headed to visit my oldest friend. I have known her since before I could talk and walk. We have always had an on again, off again relationship. However, I have always known I could turn to her if I needed anything. Even if we hadn't spoken in years, I knew I could call on her and she'd be there for me. We've been "on" for the last three or so years and I doubt we'll ever be "off" again. This is what I love about getting old...er - older! Things that I might've allowed to come between me and friends or potential friends, well, I just do not let them exist.

People make mistakes. No one is perfect. I really believe the majority of people in my life are trying to live the best life they can. I never say never because I've learned first hand a person has no idea how they will react to or in any situation.

I have had a great couple of weeks. I am becoming aware of so many wonderful blessings in my life. I've always been blessed, but I've begun to see how things that I thought were curses were actually "blessings in the work."

I've been doing a Beth Moore bible study. I finished up last week, but the blessings from the study continue to come in every day! Whether you believe in God or not, you can not deny that there is a higher power at work in this world. If it's not God, then what is it?

Last week I met with a dear friend for about an hour. We sat in my car and talked or rather I talked and she listened. Through that I have been able to open my eyes and my heart to... everything and everyone. It's great! I have been productive and not even minded the effort it took (!), my relationships are growing and positive, I went back to the gym and I've even lost a few pounds! Life is good, but I know it takes effort and I'm willing to put forth that effort. I'm willing to take chances, knowing I may fail or get hurt. I've found that admitting the truth, no matter what it is, is cleansing too. I know that if I ask God to guide me then trust Him everything will be as it should and I will survive whatever comes along.
