Celebrating me....

I am glad to be me today.

Celebrating what is....

Yesterday we had a fun and informative "sister day" at Lisa's house.   We were joined by the resident therapist Mr. TQB.  We laughed, we talked and I almost cried.

We learned about "What is and finding out the truth".   

At 2:00 am this morning I came to the realization that "I am an obbessed Jonas Brothers fan".   This is a true statement.  I have become so obbessed that I can talk about little else to Brett, family and friends.

I have decided that for the next two weeks I am going to take a break from checking up on their lives via twitter, myspace, youtube, google search, cambio connect, facebook or their fan site.  I have deleted all these sites from my favorites. 

I realized it was getting bad when for the past three nights I have dreamt about Joe, Nick and Kevin.  I spend at least 3 or 4 hours a day reading, researching, or talking about them.  I feel like I have reverted back to a sixteen year olds brain.  I am an almost 40 year old woman and I need to be present in my life and not live vicrously through 3 rock stars whom I have never met.

Today I take back my brain, my life and my relationships with others.

Today I am ok with "What is". 

Celebrating New directions....

"You have brains in your head. Your feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose." - Dr. Seuss

Today I am steering myself towards Joy, Happiness & Fun....

Where are you steering yourself?

Celebrating Quiet spaces......

Making your way in the world today

Takes everything you've got

Taking a break from all your worries

Sure would help a lot

Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go

Where everybody knows your name

And they're always glad you came

You want to be where you can see

Our troubles are all the same

You want to be where everybody knows your name

I read this today on my cousin Keith's blog.  http://knfisher.blogspot.com/   Here's the link so you can go and read his whole entry.  He challenges his readers to find a quiet place where you can let go of your problems for a while and just think. 

Today I was able to find that quiet spot.  I set off around 6:30 am to go for a walk.  As I turned the corner at the end of my street and headed east I witnessed the most beautiful sunrise.  The sun was hiding behind some clouds but it's light caused the mountains and the clouds to change to a beautiful color.  It was spectacular to witness.  Whenever I see the beauty that God created I always wish I had my camera to capture the beauty so I can share it with others.  I captured it with my eyes today and I thanked Heavenly Father in my heart for allowing me to be alive and to see such a beautiful sight.

I feel so much gratitude in my heart for the many blessings I have.  I live in a beautiful part of this great country.  I have a home to give me shelter from the storms of life.  I have a wonderful companion to share my life with.  I am surrounded by family and friends that love and support me.  I have a testimony of my Savior Jesus Christ and His infinate Atonement.  I have a body that houses my spirit.  I am so blessed.

I have places where I can go where everyone knows my name and they are glad I came.

Love, Karalee
