Three Days

Have you ever had one of those weeks that by Monday night you are wishing the week were over and done with, but next thing you know its only Wednesday, and it’s as if 3 weeks have gone by?? That is what it feels like right now for me. . . . . . .so many decisions to be made, so many people to help, and so little time to take it all in. I seriously wish with all my heart that no one would be hurting, money wasn't a constant issue, nothing unexpected never happened, and relationships were less complicated. That is not the case but every time you learn something new and are a stronger person through it all. Though while it’s happening, you can't realize the changes or impact you are having on someone.

Something very profound that stuck out to me while I was listening to a friend's homecoming in his talk he said "When life gives you lemons make lemonade, we have all heard that saying before but think about this, we all are given lemons but it is our choice what we make out of them, we can either let them rot, or we can choose to make them into something better and more than just lemons." I was just paraphrasing it and maybe its not even close to what he said but it has helped me survive this week. I just have to say that I am thankful for all those around me, for listening, giving me a hug or just asking simply how I am.
