So much going on in such little time. Writing paper after paper, traveling, studying, working, exercising, going to school, figuring out my future, trying to build a stronger relationship with God. I've had very little time to relax until today. It's a beautiful day and I worked early this morning so now I am resting and rebuilding my strength. God is good and I am grateful.
My wonderful father found our digital camera in his coat pocket the other night. Our camera had been missing since the beginning of March. My mother was so excited. Above is a picture I got from the camera that I was so upset I thought I had lost. Its my favorite picture of my "sister", Ale that came to visit us in February and I in San Francisco. I miss her so much. Lately I've come to notice the things that make everyone so much happier are simple and small. The time I have to read just two pages in my favorite book, the way the lettuce is cut for caesar salads at work, honesty the comes from the heart, a smile from a stranger, a text from a friend to ask how you are, wild flowers along the sidewalk, laughter, the sun peaking out as you head off to work, a glass of cold water, green hills and many many more things. My whole life I've been a pretty negative girl, always looking at the bad in situations. Recently I've begun to look at the positive that comes from everything, it's made me a happier person and I think its rubbed off on a few people too :) I hope the weekend brings great fun for you. Tomorrow I get to make breakfast for customers, thank you Lord that I have a job. After that I get to help with the floral arrangements at a wedding, thank you Lord that you have given us love. Tip: try to use the word "get" instead of "have to", it makes everything more positive. Just think, there is someone out there who isn't as lucky as you are.
