Day before Thanksgiving.

The holidays will be hard this year. At the beginning of this year, I would have never guessed that this year would end without my Grandpa. So today I would like to give my thanks for him.

I am thankful that I was able to spend 31 years with Grandpa.
I am thankful that he moved back to TX in May.
I am thankful that he and I were able to form a bond again.
I am thankful for the time we spent together while he was in chemo.
I am thankful that I was one of his rocks during that time.
I am thankful that I got to spend time with him at home just days before his stroke.
I am thankful that I saw God in his life with a singing of "Amazing Grace".
I am thankful that I was present to see him passing into God's arms.

I am thankful for my Grandpa.

I miss you everyday Grandpa. RIP.

I can't believe that Thanksgiving is only 4 days away! Where has this year gone?

~My mom for letting me gripe to her and knowing that I am just venting and letting things go, and for her not judging me.

~My dad for calling me several times a week just to let me know he cares even though he is 12-13 hours away.
~Running into old great family friends at Church.

What are you thankful for?

With so much negativity around the world lately, I have decided that I would like to start each morning with listing what I am thankful for. I am going to try my hardest to do this each morning.......

Today, I am extremely thankful to the church we have been attending for opening their arms to us.
I am also thankful that for the family and friends that are in my life.
I am thankful to have a job when so many don’t.
And I am thankful for my health.

Putting yourself out there….

Do you ever get to a point in life where you feel like no matter what, it hurts to put yourself out there?

Lately, I have felt the hurt with love, friends, family, etc. I am to a point where I don’t want to trust anyone or put my faith in anyone.

I have learned a lot in 2009 about people. People that aren’t supposed to hurt you (ie: your family) are the ones that can break your heart the most at times. People who are friends that you would think never would betray you, do. Putting your heart out there seems to never be safe anymore.

I am almost afraid to get to close to anyone now. For fear of losing them or being betrayed by them. I have VERY FEW people in my life that I trust…..and even then, I am not sure I trust them 100%.

Why is that?
