ready, set, go...

I'm finally doing it. I'm starting my blog. yay me! I have been wanting to blog for ahwhile but 1. my comp was down the entire time I had this urge (weird?) to blog. and 2. I was waiting for the right "time"..you know..when it feels right.. Tonight is that "time". It is 3:14am and if it was not for the winter storm that is on it's way I would prob be having one of my "whydoistayupsoeffinglatewhenihavetoworktomorrow" situations..but I have high hopes for a snow day! I stayed home sick today..prob have snow days tomorrow and wed and frankly I dont hate it! More to come on that subject tho-later post. So here I am with 3 of my very favorite things. As I sit here I have my candles lit all over my desk. To me candles are one of those make ya feel good things in life. I find simply lighting candles, even if only one, brings  peace & happiness. A warmth in your day that didn't exist before you lit that little wick. One of my favorite things. I think my lit candles will follow me on this blogging adventure..except of course on my desk at work-fire hazard! blahhh. Okay I realize I'm sounding negative about work..I really do like my job! :) It's funny the way things work out..one day you have no idea what your doing and the next an opportunity presents itself and your on to your next adventure. I think this is an ongoing thing. You should never stay put. I don't mean this in a physical sense..more in the sense of adventure. And an adventure could be anything...really. school, job, marriage, moving, breakup, babies, even down to rearranging the furniture in your house. Change is good, no matter how small. I have learned this. It's like a refreshment for your life. I thrive on it. At this point in my life I like that anything is possible...anything! It's my favorite. Sure there are the hurdles you have to overcome but what's making it somewhere if you don't have to try?? It's like a roadtrip with friends. Are you going to have more memories from the trip where nothing went wrong and you made it from point A to point B with no problems or from the trip where you got lost for 200 miles, ran out of gas not once but 3 times, peed in random outdoor places bc you had no other choice & drove through a blizzard. It's the struggles in life that make it all worthwhile. It's living. Life is not perfect; nor easy & honestly would it be all the fun it is if it were?? You must choose to look at all things in a positive light & I promise your life will be fun. No not happy all the time...but fun. Sure there are def days where I cry & yell & freak out & think my life is over but in the big picture I know it's not. These days are just the hurdles I must overcome to get to where I need to be. The fun of looking at things in a positive light is that it really does change the entire situation. Yeah it might still suckkkkk but if you can see the smallest ray of hope through it then its all worth it. I'm not here to judge anyone on their faith. I myself currently do not even attend church-which i hate. But one thing that keeps me going is knowing God (or whatever higher power you may believe in) has a plan for me. One bigger than I could ever imagine in my mind..full of life and love and happiness. Without this faith in something bigger than myself and the hope that one day I will be where I should be...I would be one big mess. It is absolutely one of my favorite things! So here's to happiness & the hope that whoever you are, wherever you are, you are clinging to whatever it is that keeps you going...your favorite things.
