Memories

Hi everyone! I have no idea why I'm in such a great mood... ok I kind of know. I'm not going to blog about that part yet though. Hey I rhymed. Haha. The good news is it really seems like that part of me that's been missing since I first got sick in 2010, it's back! I've got this pep to me that I used to.... only problem is I can't go dance it out... you know, some Hairbangers Ball or old school dance parties with disco balls. A-mazing. haha Anyways, getting to my point here...

Again, God told me to write. I said, later. He said, now. But, this isn't going to be a religious post or anything... just something I'm being told to write about. So, again, maybe there is someone out there I am writing these posts for, maybe a different person every time, or maybe it's purely just for me. Who knows.

This morning, I think it was this morning at least... I woke up and was thinking back in life. What do I remember about grade school (for those who called it something different, grade school means K-8)? The moments that came to mind were as follows: sports day, free time at the park, walk-a-thons, playing kick ball at recess, the lunch food that I actually liked when no one else did, heads down thumbs up, math around the world, playing kick the can, sleep overs, basketball, cheerleading, softball, the first boy-girl birthday parties, AOL, making videos for class...

What do I remember about high school? Sleepovers, trips to Spencers, my amazing hotel parties LOL, roaming the halls doing weird things just to make other people confused or laugh, decorating lockers in the weirdest way ever, dancing while running cross country, dances and always meeting or hanging out at my house before and/or after, hanging out in Beverly, taco bell...

What do I remember about college? My sorority sisters, the night the music died, throwing parties with 30 people in our small dorm room, the karaoke machine, yelling things out the window then hiding, Greek Week, dancing in the frats, video taping everything, being super involved in campus organizations, movie/pizza nights, ALPACAS!!!....

I'll stop there. My point is, when you look back in life or think about old times, you rarely remember the bad parts. Everything I listed makes me smile, makes me laugh. There were SO many good times in life. So that brings me to this. Whatever you are going through in the present moment, if it's not enjoyable, pleasant or easy, it will pass. And you will come to another one of those great moments to remember. If you're facing a difficult decision, or at a fork in the road and don't know which way to go, look up. And then carry on carry on.

I realize at the end of my post here this was not much more than my own reminiscing. But I'm sure there are some who are reading this and share these memories/moments with me... so to all of you, thanks for making good memories with me. The future is filled with more to come. I have an amazing outlook on my future right now and I know one day years years away, I will look back and not remember these hard times with my health but instead the enjoyable times shared with loved ones.

God bless.
