Are There Really Only Two Roads?

October 24, 2017

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood..." famous words of Robert Frost, but the question is... are there really only two roads? In life are there ever just two roads? We make decisions everyday but rarely are there only two options. There are always the two options of action verses in action but what about what action to make. Making decisions is hard, especially when you are stuck in a rut of wrong decisions. There are times when it seems like all we make is wrong decision after wrong decision, but when and how can one get back on the good decision track?

There are points in life when it seems that no matter what we do we always seem to mess up. We make some sort of mistake, make the wrong decision, hurt someone we care about and it seems like we can't make it right. Sometime all it takes to correct is simply asking for help. Ultimately we can't do everything alone and especially when looking from the inside out sometimes we will miss the obvious solutions. Situations in life are not just unique to our life, there is someone else that has also gone through something similar to the problem you face. Sometimes it takes humility to reach out to that person and ask for help. With that there then becomes a responsibility to evaluate not only what we will do in the future but also what we have done in the past. If we make sure to evaluate our previous actions we can avoid making the same mistakes again.

Life is full of difficult moments but how we move forward and the decisions we make will make all the difference.

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 ...

Numb

October 3, 2017 N- Not sure how I feel U- Uncertain about the future M- Mentally exhausted B- But smiling and making the most of it anyways Life is full of ups and downs. There will be good days and bad days, but no one needs to tell anyone that... we all live it. We don't get to choose what happens in life but we typically can choose how we handle it. Just the other day I had a great topic and I was excited to write about it for today's post... but as I sit to type after a long day whatever that thing was I no longer remember. Today I am numb as described above. Life sometimes comes with many changes all at once and the only thing we can do is roll with it. Today may have not been the best but there are blessings in each and every event, we just have to take time and find them. Good things to note even through this difficult day: I have a living God. I woke up this morning. The sun was shining and now the rain is nourishing the ground. I do not have a headache. ...
