Blood is Thicker than Water

November 28, 2017

In my 5th grade class today we were working with adages. One of the ones listed was 'Blood is thicker than water.'

This adage brought to mind the people in my life related both by blood and water. While this statement is typically true I have also discovered that sometimes those related by water flow easier than those related by blood. Sometimes I find that I get along better with those outside my family and really have to work on the relationships inside my family.

Right now I am trying to reconnect with my little sister. I love her to death but she doesn't always realize, mostly due to my busy life and schedule as I have grown up and am preparing to move to the next phase of life. More times than not I have brushed her off or told her I couldn't help due to my full schedule, but I realized that as life goes on the fuller my schedule gets and the more I have to work to make time for others. That being said my pre-new years resolution is to show her everyday by my actions and words that I love her and to go out of my way for her no matter what.

I know she won't be reading my blog, but if she did I would want her to know that I love her dearly and am trying to be a better big sister! Life is full of challenges and this is one I am ready to conquer!

Today WILL be a GOOD Day!

Tuesday November 6, 2017 For my birthday a few days ago my best friend gave me a jar of what she labeled 'Smiles, Quotes and Inspiration' so I thought I would take what I pulled from there to write today. The rules of the jar are simple, take one per day if needed but if it is a good day and you don't need a pick me up then save it for another day. The past few days have been okay and I have only pulled two notes and below is what they had to say: "Since a smile is a decision, why not make the choice?" "Courage doesn't always roar, sometimes it's the little voice at the end of he day that says 'I'll try again tomorrow." **EDIT:  Mary Anne Radmacher is the author of this quote!*** I don't know where they originated but I needed both of these statements. My goal for this month and the foreseeable future is to find the silver lining. No matter the situation I am trying to find the good and focus on that instead of dragging myself

From Negative to Blessed

November 21, 2017 So much to do, so little time! Some people look forward to the holidays as time for family and fun, but I find that the older I get I see a to do list getting longer and longer and the holiday breaks away from school and work allow me to take a breath for a moment to catch up. Today I have a day off, but my to do list is a mile long, not just for today but for the entire holiday week. 10 Assignments due when I get back to school 4 loads of laundry to start the week and then a few more at the end Food to make Bedroom to clean Closet to get back in order Kittens claws to trim Christmas shopping to do Preparations for finals And then there are the things that I'm forgetting but will hopefully remember in time. As I look at all of these things and think about how little time I have, I have to remind myself what this particular holiday week is about. We are approaching Thanksgiving and in that I have so much to be thankful for. Instead of looking at

Be Inspired!

October 17, 2017 Inspiration In a biblical context the root word literally means 'God breathed.' Yet how does that apply in everyday life? Sometimes we are asked what inspires us and where our inspiration comes from and how many times do we have an answer for that? When we look at creative writing typically people say they are inspired to write. So how does inspiration, God, and creative writing go together... they are all connected by life. God breathed the life we have into our beings and from there we are able to go throughout our day and enjoy the world we have been blessed with. Inspiration for writing typically comes from our experiences, what goes on in our everyday life and what we see. Without the breath of life we wouldn't be here to write, therefore we would be squandering our opportunity to share with others the unique experiences of our life if we didn't write. So my charge to you... keep writing, as often as possible, about whatever you can find in
