truly blessed

WOW it is almost the end of ROCtober…he he. Go Rockies!

Seriously, it has been one crazy summer. I will say this…I think I have learned more over the past two months than I have a in a long time.

As most of you know by know I had a brief ‘cancer’ scare…I am VERY happy to report that all is well and nothing to worry about.

I also found out recently that some medication I had been taking has been driving me absolutely INSANE. Thankfully the doctors and I are trying a different route.

So Huzzah!!!

AND……

I GOT A NEW JOB!!!! I am going to be working at Denver Water…yes a government job…which means I get all those glorious holidays OFF!!!!! Hehehehe happiness!

I think I have been blessed beyond measure. I lost a lot of friends this year due to some circumstances…(they were his friends) HA! However, I have gained so many people in my life that really do love me and care about me.

I know this to be true especially when I finally did tell everyone about my health issues…I had people offering to take me, to come see and just giving their love and support.

I can’t thank you people enough to all my friends from back home to all of my new friends! You know who you are..*cough, rogues, cough*…and the horde friends up north…I wish we saw each other more, but your love and support has been great. and of course Deborah & Maria...I loveya lots girls!

I am TRULY blessed…thank you for being a part of my life…thanks for putting up with the crazy lady…and I am excited about the future and the good times ahead!

take this to heart

i think that this quote pretty much sums up the lessons i have been learning lately. (i stole this from Maria) he he Where does your happiness come from. Yes i think it is important to have people in your life that love you and care about and valdiate you, however we need to be happy with who we are and stop putting blame on those people when things aren't exactly the way we want them to be.

i want you to really read it and see how it applies to your own life.

"Often we find ourselves trying to find reasons for unhappiness and unsatisfactory results in our lives. Our natural instinct directs us to look outside of ourselves for an external outlet to blame. All the while, the blame lies within. Though it may be easiest and comforting to will the fault onto someone else, it is only creating a false sense of structure of the self. Happiness is a creation of the internal structure made of heart and mind. Satisfaction is created within the ability to place 100% of yourself into everything you do. With this as truth, it would be impossible to identify someone else as the culprit of the demise in your life. Accept the truth of your actions and you will find the ability to thrive into the next stage of your life while lessening the stressed placed on the most important relationships in your life."
