Inspiration

I recently have found myself so focused on my own circumstances that I can forget to look around at others and their walk. My recent inspiration is my friend. Joan is a new mom well new mom on her second child. Her son Josiah is a month older than my baby but Josiah was born with special needs. He has down syndrome which isn't an issue because Joan and her spouse feel like God was preparing them for this during the pregnancy. She just recently found out that Josiah has been dealing with seizures. He is now taking medication and currently having to do a lot of tests. Not including the well being of her child she has an abundance of other things that are on her shoulders. Yet, 9 out of 10 times that I see her she is speaking positive. She inspires me because while I feel like I can have a lot on my plate and too much coming at me, which I do. I can sit back and watch how other people are handling their own circumstances with style and grace. That I believe is what makes Joan my hero.

Don't know unless you try

so i see so many people doing this blog thing and i wondered if my own personal thoughts were worth putting out there for all to see or no one to read. with so many things and projects happening in my life. this is probably one of the most benafical acts i can give myself. situations can be so overwhelming that many moments in my life i can forget to breathe and just focus my sight. so now i remind myself, the inner rebel in me that wants desperately to play with matches to take a deep breath inward.
