17 Today..

The sleet rain just doesn't want to let up today. It seems its better soaking, and making people miserable then allowing us to peacefully walk to and from school.

My friend told me this will go in phases, the good times and the bad. Sometimes it feels that the bad outweighs the good. My young women's leader once told me ( when I was feeling very down, distraught and just overall frustrated at my life) she said, " It may seem like the bad overtakes the good, but really thats just the Lord showing you how much bad you can take. Shay let it humble you and bring you to your knees and then all of the sudden you remember all the good and then you know there is no way the bad will ever overtake the good."- Sister Gough. -

Life is good. Life is great. Life is short. Life is precious. Life is to be lived, and life is to be loved.

Just like with this weather the storm can't last forever. Eventually the sun will come out and the bitter winds will end, the trees will bud again, and the earth will look beautiful. But we have to go through the bitter winter before we can see the amazing summer. 

Tough times never last. Tough people ALWAYS do. 

 
Protect me this night, and hold me by Thy tender side.


Oh Lord, My God! 

Peace, peace be unto thy soul, Be still and know that I am God.

Lessons From Environmental Issues: State Shift

I've been taking this Bio class called environmental issues, and to put it lightly, there's not a whole lot that I like about it. However I found something useful this week, maybe something that touched me more than it should have. There are different types of changes in the environment. For example: Resilience :  is the ability for the environment to bounce back after something drastic happens. Like a tornado, or a hurricane. Let's put this into people's lives, this is like a break up, or the ending of a friendship. It hurts, it even devastates you but give it time, all things will go back to it's natural state. However long that takes, it will heal. You will heal. Then.. There's a change called a state shift . This is uncommon in the environment, because of it's tragic and lasting effects. A state shift means no matter how hard the environment tries, it will never be how it was before, it's changed and can't be reversed. Now let's ...

Of Life and Living

I don't pretend to know a whole ton, maybe because I don't. However there are times in our lives, check points if you will, that give us a chance to look back reflect and see where we are going. I so value times like that. Times like today. Why did I check point today? I did it because 21 years ago I was born. Weird right? I don't feel like I'm 21, but whatever. So I was trying to think up things that I may have learned or changed in these years of life, and after much pondering I could only think up a few. So here they are. Knowledge according to Shay. 1) Tough times NEVER last. I know they feel like they will, and I feel like they will, but they don't. They simply can't. So bite down, hold on, and bear the wind, because it will end. 2) Challenges make us stronger. Just like muscles, sometimes we must be torn in order to grow. Challenges work the same way. 3) Life is good. As good as you want it to be. Either you can go through life complaining, wis...

A Few Sunny Days

What can I say? Not very much. All I know, is every once in a while when I find myself down, bummed, or even pissed, that no matter what I have the best friends that back me up. Help me stand, and teach me to fight again. I don't give them enough credit for all they go through with me. Whether it be listening to me vent, dealing with my heartless-ness, having me bark outside their window. Pretending to be a clingy girl friend, or just putting up with the daily smart ass comments I make. They are always there. This last weekend I had so many glorious times, and it's even better because it's lovely fall weather out there. So here are my friends. Desirae. Man, this girl has been with me since the beginning. Even though she's married now, she still takes time to be wonderful to me. ( we took a TON of pictures this weekend. ) Then there's Amanda. She's just grand. She hasn't been in my life for the longest, but man has she made a difference for me...
