What I have learned???

I have learned so much about myself and life in general over the last couple of years. Yet, everyday I learn more and more.

I am learning that life is crazy and unpredictable. Things happen and sometimes they are hard to deal with, but I get through them. I have always said I can't wait for life to calm down and I can get away from drama and chaos. I am learning that will never happen. I don't want it to happen. Because I know now that it is the craziness and chaos of life that has taught me so much.

It is getting to the other side of what I think is a huge mountain and realizing.....it was a huge mountain and I got over it. And looking back and seeing all the people that helped me get there.

It is going through the thunderstorms of life, recognizing the faces of the people who love me through the rain. And seeing them still there when the sun comes out again.

It is learning to laugh even when all I want to do is cry. And making someone else laugh with me.

It is taking a deep breath and stepping out my front door, even when all I want to do is close myself up in a closet. And knowing that tomorrow I can do the same.

It is looking at my boys and knowing that even though I am not perfect, they know I love them. And feeling that in thier hugs, kisses and sweet little things they say.

It is reading my bible and finding strength in the scriptures that touch my soul because I know that God has prepared me to walk this walk. And being able to say at the end of the day, I did my best.

It is going to work in the sometimes overwhelming world of education and knowing that I make a difference. And teaching others how to make a difference too.

It is learning to lose people without losing the feelings and memories that made them special to me. And knowing someday I will see them again.

It is being a listening ear and shoulder to cry on to so many, even when I feel helpless. And realizing it was the listening ear and shoulder to cry on they needed.

It is learning that it is okay to get pissed off as long as I don't hurt myself or others. And not feeling bad about it later.

It is learning to let myself fall in love and knowing there are no guarantees and that's okay. And looking forward to sharing my life with someone when I am ready.

It is realizing everyday how lucky I am to have such a big family and circle of friends. And doing everything I can to spend time with them.

I am so thankful for my life, craziness, chaos and all. I wouldn't want it any other way.

So, thank you God, family and friends for being my reason for knowing that life is so worth it. I have gotten over a lot of mountains and through many thunderstorms in my almost 30 years, and I couldn't have done it without all of you. I love you all and I am always here for you. As always...the cell stays on 24/7 I may not remember we talked at 2am, but I will pick up. LOL

Love and more love,

~Krissy~
