I haven’t written a new blog this year so I thought it was the perfect time to start again. I promise I will try to be better now that I am done with classes. I know that everyone is addicted to social media today, me especially! I think I learn all my news from Twitter and keep up with my friends on Facebook and Instagram. So with that said I have an app on Facebook called “God wants to let you know” and today I received the perfect one and thats when I decided I was going to write a post. This is what I was told today:
“Every day you are choosing either to be grateful or to be disappointed.”
“You can worry to no end about what you don't have. Or you can marvel at God's breathtaking gifts: the morning dew, the sun, the clouds, the trees, the flowers, the birds. Could you create any of these? These miracles of life are always around you, ready to be celebrated, ready to be welcomed into your life.”
I thought this was seriously perfect for everything has been going on the past few weeks. Since coming back to New York as been extremely difficult, I think it was because I was home for so long and got to comfortable. I was so ready to come back to NY on the 1st but then after getting delayed so many days I was just ready to stay home.
It’s been a rough week today and I texted my dad today saying that I wanted to move back home right now and sent back the best response. My favorite was “I know its especially hard being that far away but life goes on. I know you feel you could help if you were closer but we have no control over how life is going to go.” “Sign of a great family when everybody wants to be close when times get tough.” My dad is seriously the best. He is SO true when he said that we have no control on life is going to go. Then it reminded me of something I read “God doesn’t give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you the person you were meant to be.
With that and reading what was above I really need to choose to be grateful everyday. I need to get over being sad about not being back home and stop feeling like I am missing out on everything. I need to take advantage of this time in my life because its only happening once. I am only here for about 5 more months so I need to be HAPPY! Ariana nows how to make me smile every single day by making me feel great about myself or just by making faces at me. She truly is like a little “sister” to me.
I’m grateful for mom, dad, sister, Chet, baby M, and Oscar. I’m grateful for every single one of my family members and friends and reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. I’m grateful for the experience I was given to come out and nanny for a wonderful family in New York who treats me like I am apart of their family. There are many more things that I am grateful for also. Ive made a promise to myself that I am going to write something down that I am grateful for. The past few days I am especially grateful for Meg, Chet, and baby M. They have been through so much but continue to be brave throughout it all. Love you all.
With all that said, here is my first of many blog posts of 2014! I hope you enjoy it.
