A moment to reflect...

I took a moment to reflect this weekend on how fortunate I am... how lucky I have been in life and how many good people I have come to know. I feel like there are so many people I have to thank for the person I have become.

Life isn't perfect... in fact lately I would say life has become a bit of a drag... but no matter how bad I think I have it there is always going to be someone out there who has it worse... and I think keeping that in perspective allows me to keep a smile on my face and a positive outlook!

I hate that I am having to go through all of this with my Dad... but at least I have been able to have a wonderful relationship with my Dad. There are many people out there who never knew their Dads and that thought makes me sad. My Dad has been someone who has been a constant in my life... he is someone who could put a smile on my face even when I tried my hardest to be angry. He always knows how to fix whatever is broken... he can provide me with sound advice even if I don't take it. He is someone who I have always looked to for strength... and truly one of my best friends!

I think it is easier to focus on the negative, even when there is positive all around us. But without negative who would know what postive feels like?

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop to look once in awhile, you could miss it."
