Al has said this to me many times..."life is only as hard as you make it." I know I tend to get myself "involved" in many things. But, that's because I like to do too many things (smile). When you do TOO many things, you tend NOT to do any ONE thing well. I've found that out this year!
I can NOT believe how fast this year has gone. I have so many blog posts in my head and camera....all waiting...I haven't even shown you the barn remodel yet!
2017 has been a productive and enlightening year. I know we still have 7 weeks left, but in reflection of the past 45 weeks, I can say my word of the year "embrace" was a good pick! Much of it wasn't easy, but I can say I'm proud of myself for how I tried my best to "embrace" even the ugliest of situations. Praise and compliments are easy to embrace - the other - not so much! But, I did it, with the good Lord's help! Keeping a positive attitude, trying to be Christ-like (as if we even could) and embracing each and every situation has made me stronger. 2017 thus far, has taught me that I have flaws, but I need to embrace them too!
I have already begun collecting words for 2018. I want "fate" to pick it, so I've been putting them in a "hat" and saving them to pick the "one" for 2018. I started this because I need to make some tough decisions - of which I plan to embrace - even if it will be hard. Because, "life IS only as hard as you make it!"
I say all of that to say....Motivational Monday - will be continued...hopefully more consistently...soon. It was so nice to hear someone recently say..."I miss your posts!" (smile). I miss writing them! Sorting all my ideas and thoughts down in words helps me. If you read these posts, thanks for following along.
