The past 21 years have been incredible ones. I don't know what I did to deserve such wonderful friends and family to grow up with, but I thank God for it everyday. In short, I love my life. I have loved every minute of it...even the bad parts because the bad has taught me quite a lot. I would not want to change a thing because life is not meant to be a list of regrets. Life is simply an opportunity. And I plan to make it count.
I know that life won't always be as rosy as it is for me now. I know that sometimes, things happen that aren't fair, easy, or even understandable. Sometimes it doesn't even seem possible to keep going. But when times like those arise, I hope to remember that life is a gift. Every moment is a gift. That's what has gotten me through hard times and that's what I want to hold onto for the future.
This is my one of my all time favorite quotes....one I try to keep in my mind everyday.
It's by Shauna Niequist:
It makes me smile every time I read it :) And I truly hope that I can make God glad He gave life to someone who loves the gift.
