I Resolve To Continue

This is the time of year when we evaluate our lives. We look at the last 364 days and ponder on our struggles and our triumphs. We look at the person we have become over the last 12 months and we plan to do better in the coming 12. This is the time of year we are dedicated to making a change, and as I sit here thinking back to this time exactly 365 days ago, I am astounded at how far I have come. Almost ashamed of the person I was then and truly proud of the person I am now. For one of the first times in my life I can say that I can see myself becoming the person I want to become. In the last year I have felt sorrow and defeat and loneliness. I have faced struggles and heartache and frustrations. But I have also felt peace. I have felt joy and happiness and love. I set goals and I achieved them. I have had experiences that have taught me so many valuable lessons, and I have met people who have changed me forever. And I am so grateful. And so as we finish out this awfully beautiful year and I think about who I am and what I want to accomplish, I resolve to continue. To continue pressing on through this wonderful and crazy adventure I am on. I resolve to continue down this path of growth and development and I resolve to continue trusting The Lord. I resolve to do more things for me, and to live up to my full potential. To become the very best version of myself I can become. I resolve to continue putting myself out there; to take chances, to leave my mark, to jump. To discover dreams I never dared allow myself to have before. I resolve to continue taking down my walls. To take a leap of faith. I resolve to count my blessings. I am so much better and so much more myself today than any other time in my life so I resolve to continue moving forward. To never take a step back. I resolve to live life passionately. I resolve to continue.

UPDATE

UPDATE: saying yes is hard, sometimes (a lot of times) I choose sleep over clean hair, and these people make my heart oh so happy! As I continue to give fully to my job and to the people in my life, I continue to learn more and more that these humans give me more than I could ever give them.  And that is completely worth it.

I Sort Of Hate Making Decisions About Life.

Sometimes I have to make decisions about my life. And those decisions are hard and they scare me and I don't know what to do. Sometimes I think I have an answer and then a few days later I am doubting and second guessing everything that I think I  have figured out. It's so not cool. And above all I can't handle that fact that I don't know what I am supposed to do! How do I figure this out? How do I know if I am making the right decision? How? How do I know what it is that I am supposed to do? My life is a tad jumbled and messy right now.

The Top TEN!

Okay so it's actually two different top ten lists but that's fine. Here we go. The top TEN…. Things I have learned this semester… 10. Even when school is hard it can be enjoyable. 9. Drives up the canyon can do a lot of good. 8. Sometimes I struggle with people. 7. People are more understanding if you just go talk to them about what is going on. 6. My brain is capable of more than I ever will understand. 5. Some days you just need to buy a cheesecake. And that's okay. 4. Taking chances=worth the risk. 3. Even though trials may be hard, in the end you will learn something. Keep going. 2. People can be major blessings in your life. 1. I will do absolutely anything for the ones that I love. Even if they don’t realize it. Things I did this semester…..(in no particular order) 10. Went snowboarding TWICE (this probably doesn't seem like a big deal but it actually is). 9. Sparklers up the canyon. 8. Tri-wizard tournament (scrapped my shoulder up pretty bad...
