Rough-ness

Today was one of those days.
Everything seemed to pile up on me
Life seemed to be against me
in fact a semi drove past me and now I have a chip the size of a softball in my BRAND NEW wind shield.
Needless to say I could feel myself snapping.
and I did something today
That I normally don't do.

I called my Bishop.
Yup that's right.
I asked for help.

Him and I talked about my recent health, job situation  family stuff, and frankly just how far away my life seems to be from the picture I was planning in my head.
Sometimes it's just upsetting.

Then he told me, "Find little things that make you smile."
Here they are.
The Show "Easy A"
I am thankful every freakin' day that I'm not in high school. 
It's glorious. 

My family who gives me a reason to smile. 


My dad supports and continues to love me no matter the choices I make. 
He inspires me to be a better person to become something. 
And he always makes me laugh. 

As I was writing this post he literally just stopped by to surprise me! ahh! 
He is far from perfect, and I know and understand that, however he makes me so incredibly happy, he reminds me every day to keep fighting, he lets me eat as many french fries as I want, buys popsicles for me when I'm sick, pizza for me when I'm unhappy, and stays in to watch chick flicks when I'm too sick to go out. It may not be some crazy romance, but I sure love him, and don't think I can live without him. He gives me reasons to smile. I sure love Austin Toth.

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 ...

Through the Fall Out

The title? I thought it was better than "Happy Mother's Day" or "My Mom is Better Than Your Mom" or anything like that. I was listening to this song on the way home, and thought it touched on the topic perfectly. Through the fall out. In life there are so many fall outs, times when we feel we are free falling alone, and helpless. Well, there are people who encourage us and help direct us onto a soft landing, hopefully. Here are mine. First, my mother. She gave birth to me like every one else's mother. She raised me, sang to me, cuddled me, and comforted me. But most importantly she taught me to think for myself, and be my own person. (As I grew up and was finding that person it was not always the easiest journey.) But she stuck it out. She showed me how to go on when your life falls apart on you, and how to pick others up when they are down. She taught me of service, and giving service instead of gifts. She gave me my "I'm not really overly a...

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...
