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. She was baptized into the LDS church only days after I started coming to church. She was one of the first friendly people to me. For that I cherish her. ( We also took pictures this weekend)



Then we have Christie. This girl. What can I even say. She has basically become a sister to me. She lives with me, and well, she puts up with the full Shay! Whether it's morning Shay! Studying Shay! Pissed Shay! Or hyper and can't sleep Shay! She deals with it all, and loves me through everything. and I mean EVERYTHING. She is an example of strength and courage. I admire her greatly.



Then I have Katy. Gosh I love this girl. She was not only my roommate when I moved to Salt Lake, but also my saving grace. She helped me adjust to being in a new country, a new state, and a new school. She taught me lessons of living alone, and how to cook cheap, easy, and fast. (Lessons I have loved) We would spend hours walking around the city, and just talking. I love how nothing gets this girl down. She is the happiest person I know!



Last but not least..

Mar Mar (Marlanda) This girl has helped me stay sane (I hope I've done the same for her.) She has watched me fall apart, and not judged when I'm stupid. She is supporting and loving. She's the type of girl who, if she loves you, will sacrifice her own interests to help you. There is nothing better than that. (I'm sorry I don't have many recent pictures)



So just a quick reminder: if your family seems far away, or you feel just a little lonely, count the other blessings God has placed in your life. I like to call them friends.

Whenever you are scared you walk alone, remember, you don't have to. Thank you for being in my life! (Emotional rant done)

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person,  However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick,  he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Do I Have What it Takes?

! Do I have what it takes? I've asked myself that about 436,598 times over the past 5 years, and in the course of my life.. I know I've asked it even more than that. Being self employed is not an easy task all the time, it's giving up partying on weekends, it's staying home to plan work, or to onboard a client. It's dealing with clients who preach one thing and practice another. It's knowing who you are in and out of the business. This week my friend and I watched Spider-man Homecoming.. okay.. we watched it for like the 5th time.. but whatever.. the point of it is.. there's a moment where Peter is talking to Tony and he says, "You can't take this suit, I'm nothing without it" Then Tony says, "If you are nothing without the suit then you shouldn't have it." Later when it builds to the pinnacle part of the story Peter is crushed under half a building, and he's trying to stand.. it's a very emotional moment fo...

To the Moment When I Thought I was Dying

"This might be it." "Breathe." "I know it hurts, but breathe Shay. You need to breathe." For a moment I start to forget how important oxygen is, it’s like my body stops caring about breathing, it hurts too much, and it’s way too much work for the little o2 that’s coming to me. My body starts to comfort itself, things are going tingly, dark, and I’m getting cold. I can feel the laboring slowing down. The pain increases again, my eyes start to close, and my feet are completely numb. I feel a cold tear drip down the side of my face as my world slips into darkness.   "No."   "Wake up."   "This isn’t it for you." "You aren’t going like this."   I force another painful breath in.   "Ouch."   I could go on, and in more detail, however for the sake of my very terrified brain, that's the only piece you'll get from my journal. That came the second night I was...
