trails virses happiness

The other day I woke up grumpy, seemed like nothing would go right the whole day. The smallest thing would make me mad and irritated. But as the day wore on things started to look better the grumpiness began to fade and the little things didn't bug me near as much. It was a good thing things started to shape up, because I was starting to get on peoples nerves.! When my attitude started to change I started to realize that the trails in life don't have to ruin our happiness it is a choice we have to make each and every day. Today I choose happiness!! :)

Comfort Zones

I love to learn new things that push me outside of my comfort zone, things like snowboarding and wake boarding. The first time out is always the hardest, because you don't know what to expect. As you do it more you become more confident and try new things. Sometimes it works to try new things other times you wipe out and aren't sure that you want to get up and try it again. The pain is a reminder of what happen the last time and it scares you to the point that you think twice about going forward with the goals you have set for yourself. If you don't get up and try again you regret not reaching your goals. 

Dealing with Lifes Hurdles

Hurdles I use to love  hurdles in track n' field, but now that they aren't physical hurdles they seem harder to get over. Life's hurdles are harder to navigate, they aren't in a straight line nor are they spaced the same distance apart. Some are small and easy to step over, others are Hugh  and need to be whittled down to size. I am at one of those Hugh hurdles in my life right now. Rejection, not being heard and loneliness are all piled into one or maybe it is three so close together that it looks like one.

a new day a new leaning lesson

All through my life I have heard the song "Lean On Me" I have sung it and read the words, but really only took parts of it to heart. Now as I get older and there are more trails in my life to overcome I am beginning to understand it more. God doesn't want us just to lean on Him when the times are bad, He wants us to lean on Him at all times.
