Moving on...

A few weeks ago, I came to the determination that I was hanging on to too much baggage. When "drama" occurred in and around my life, I found myself harboring feelings of resentment....for too long.  I decided that I didn't like that about myself or how it made me feel.  So, I shipped off the baggage and moved on!  Thankfully, my baggage was lost and didn't arrive with me at my destination.  What was that destination???  I'm glad you asked.  I moved on to the state of "Happy".

It's amazing to me, how just changing my mindset has changed everything.  I feel so liberated...lighter, even.  I LOVE it!!!

Two years ago around this time, I embarked on an adventure of sorts.  I was preparing for a major surgery, which ended up taking me through some of the toughest and scariest moments of my life.  In the last six months, I've started a life-style change that has me going to the gym regularly and eating healthier.  Neither of which were exactly easy habits to adopt.  

I'm finding that Heavenly Father has many things to teach me and I'm LOVING the lessons.  Two years ago, I learned that I can survive hard things.  Since then, I have learned that I can DO hard things and even thrive on them.  All these changes have helped me become a better person.  They've certainly helped me become a happier person.  

I am learning to eagerly try new things...things I never thought I'd have the courage or confidence to try.  I am surprised to find myself being good at these new things.  All these new things, changes and attitudes in my life are helping me to find joy in my journey.  I love getting to share this journey with Kevin, Amanda, Jackie, and my extended family and friends! I can honestly say I LOVE MY LIFE! I'm so glad I'm allowing Heavenly Father to mold and refine me.  I'm so grateful He's directed my path so I can live in the state of "Happy".
