Life

Life goes on. I found myself using the phrase "Life" with one of my friends. I realized I was using it in a negative context that life was something hard or bad. Life has its ups and downs but, it is what we make it. If we stay positive when life gets hard then life can be more enjoyable but, if we choose to be negative then life can suck somtimes. I realized our attitudes can make all the difference. I have found that my life is a lot more enjoyable when I am positive and have a good attitude. Life might not be any easier but, I enjoy it a lot more. We get what we put in. If we put in crap that's what we will get back. When we choose to give it ours best we are su ally compensated for that. This can be applied to almost every aspect of our lives. Life can be a great learning tool and experience. Your life is a gift. Make sure it doesn't go wasted. Use it to the fullest. Do the most good that you can. Serve others, be kind and always love. In the end you will realize you lived a good life.

Special People

I love the special people out there who have the ability to listen. I have met a few people like this that I honestly could sit and talk to for hours on end. We don't get bored but, enjoy our conversation and don't notice as the clock spins around. These people are so rare and should be cherished. The have special gifts for listening and holding a conversation. You leave happy and refreshed after visiting with these kinds of people. They are truly special.

Friends

Friends come and go as life continues. It's the friends that stay by your side that are the important ones. It always feels good when you meet up with an old friend and pick up right where you left off. One of the best feelings is knowing that someone cares about you. I have had a lot of friends over the years. Some of them I still keep in contact with and others have drifted off as life brought them other places. Friends are always there when I need them. When I need someone to talk to or I'm bored and just want to do something. I appreciate the people that take time in their busy schedules to spend time with me. I have many friends who have influenced who I am today. People who care about me and what I am doing with my life. I may not be the best friend at times but, I am so grateful for them. They mean the world to me.

Hard Decisions

I have always had a hard time in making decisions. Sometimes they are hard decisions like who to marry or where to go to college but, at times they are little things like where to eat or what to wear.  The little decisions are not very important when it comes to the scheme of things. If I eat a bean burrito most likely it won’t change the course of my life but, it may give me mad diarrhea. I’ve already made a lot of decisions that have brought me to where I am now however there are important decisions I have yet to make such as marriage. I think this is a decision that has weighted on me since I came to college. At first I wasn’t very concerned and then as the years went on I became more concerned. I am currently at a point where I need to make a decision that could affect my future. I need to decide what to do after I graduate from college in after fall semester. I have to decide what I’ll do this summer. I know that no matter what ill be okay but, sometimes I wish I knew what to do. I know God won’t just tell me what to do but, I know I can receive guidance from Him. I don’t know what the future holds but, I know God will help me make the right decisions or at least put me on the right path.
