Smile

I dragged myself on my knees through this week. I was dragging my spirits through the mud of sickness and stones of everything that is happening this week. I piled on the events to test myself if I can do it all. I was a little kid at a buffet loading their plate with more food than they can handle. But as soon as I stepped away from loading the plate I was punched in my stomach. I got a cold Sunday night all the way to Tuesday, then Wednesday I was given the 24 hour flu so it wasn't until Thursday morning I could move more than a jog. So through everything I had going on, the illness pulled me to want to quit but I kept pushing, kept moving inch by inch. Then as a blessing I received letters that lifted me up and friends that let me forget everything that was around me.The busy-ness melted away and the excitement, joy, and friendship shined through. The whole way friends supported me and let me crash while hanging out with them. I was reminded that my struggles are nothing NOTHING compared to friends of mine and those around me. So right now I'm sucking it up. I did suck it up!! Life is moving forward and now that I am better let me try and race after it. I won't let it pass me by. There are too many things that are good to let the bad stare me in the face. As one of my friends said you have to have savor the sour to truly enjoy the sweet.

Always remember to be happy because you never know who's falling in love with your smile. ~Unknown
