sometimes life just doesn't go the way we have planned.
sometimes i feel my life may not be as exciting and adventureous as others.
sometimes i get jealous.
sometimes i am afraid of the unknown.
sometimes i feel alone.
sometimes i wish my body would just be normal.
and sometimes, in the middle of all these thoughts, i realize how very blessed i am. the very fact that my heart is still beating, that i can see and hear and taste and smell and take in all the beauty around me.
that i am here, right now. that i can spend time with my family and be around my brothers. that i can learn from my momma and talk to her about my concerns. that i can hug my daddy.
life is made up of moments. big moments are fun and exciting and accomplishments, maybe experiences you'll never forget. but i find that i feel most alive in the little moments.
holding a baby. having the wind blow through my hair. sunshine on my face. having a heart to heart conversation. watching my brothers grow and form their personalities. perfecting a recipe. being in the mountains. waves crashing around your ankles. laughter, lots and lots of laughter. being next to the people you love.
i am so blessed to have a family, to have been born into the family that i have. they rock my world, and no matter what i know that i have people who will always love and accept me. i am blessed to have a testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. blessed to be able to serve a mission. blessed to live in such a beautiful place in the world. blessed to have so many good people in my life. blessed to have found a best friend i can trust and rely on, one who doesn't judge, won't run, and makes time for me.
i would say i'm lucky, but i'm not.
i'm a very blessed girl, and i'm very thankful for the precious gifts i have been given.
