Stop and Take a Moment

In life we usually take every day things for granted.  I am guilty of it too.  Sometimes we just need to slow down and take a moment and say Thank You God for this beautiful day and for being able to live in this beautiful world.  Let me tell you a story.  Last year at on Christmas I was sick I was really sick.  I had the flu an aggressive form of strep and an aggressive form of pneumonia (a triple threat).  I went to the hospital on December 26.  I was so weak I could not stand for more than five seconds without collapsing.  I had so much toxic in my body that I got an infection in my blood (which mean my blood was literally poisonous) it was so bad that I got toxic shock.  It has a 50/50 survival rate.  I was released was released from the hospital January 1^st 2015.  When I found out the survival rate of the toxic shock I felt so blessed and thanked God for being alive.  I realized how I took everyday day things for granted.  If we are sick we can go to the doctors, but you never really think about what it would be like if we did not have doctors.  Here are some things we sometimes take for granted.  Siblings (I know I know siblings really, but think about it no matter what you are going through your siblings are always there for you.), medicine (back in the day doctors did not have the medicine we have now a days.), and internet (we did not always have the internet if someone wanted to know about something they had to ask someone who knew about it or read about it.  They did not have Google.).  I cannot stress enough how important it is to slow and think thank you God.  It could be about anything your family and friends, the day, or even just being alive.  I thank God for being able to help run this blog with this amazing group of girls.  Merry Christmas

Be Yourself

Have you ever thought to yourself I wish I was like her?  As you think that to yourself have you ever thought that maybe that she is wishing she is someone else?  I know sometimes I find myself wishing I could talk to other people better or that I could be better at math, but you know what everybody does that sometime or other.  Nobody is perfect.  Everybody has their strengths and weaknesses.  Some people are better at some things than others that is just the way things are.  So instead think of what you are good at.  Everybody has something their good at and love to do they just need to find what it is.  Do not wish to be somebody else wish to be yourself.
