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 ...

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...
