Looking Back

This past weekend I was looking through some old stuff. I came across a box of old pictures. Some of them go all the way back to high school. It really brought back some really good memories. I had forgotten some of the wonderful and exciting times I have had with my family and friends. The great parties, road trips, weddings and the birth of children. It was really nice sitting and thinking of all of these things I am truly thankful for having all the people in my life. It also made me reflect on how much life has changed in the past year.
At the very bottom of the box was a card that Krit gave me a few years ago when I was going through a really hard time in my life. The card reads:

Life is tough sometimes.

There are a

zillion decisions to make,

and none of them

are easy.

There are things

you want to do

but can't,

and things

you don't want to do

but have to.

There are good times,

and days you feel

like nobody could ever

possibly understand

what it's like to be you -

and you're maybe right......

(open)

But I'm here

if you want to talk

or hang out

and forget about life

for a while.

Hang In There

After reading this card again I realize that I need these words again to help get me through another hard time. This year has been a very hard and trying time for me and my whole family. There has been so many life changing things that have happened. It really does get overwhelming sometimes.

Things are looking up. My dad is getting better and better everyday. My husband and I are adjusting to life in Georgia. I went back to work. Money is getting a little less tighter.

Anyways, I mainly wanted to share this card with ya'll and maybe these words will pick you up if you are feeling down.
