I was looking back through my recent posts, and there weren't any pictures, so I thought I'd use one on this post! Do you like it? I love taking pictures of water, for some reason. The way they just look like little crystals suspended in the air never ceases to fascinate me!

Tonight marks a lot of things for me... kind of like a new page. Not exactly a new chapter for me, but a new page for sure. A different place in the same season of life. Make sense? But tonight, several things hit me:

1. Why am I so stressed? It only makes me upset, and frown more. It's almost Christmas. You only get those once a year. Make the best of it, regardless of your current situation. And for goodness sakes, Smile!

2. God does WAY AMAZING things when we let Him. He uses His word, and people around you to send you a message that you have needed to hear. He'll do things that only you would recognize as being from Him. He does things very specific to each and every person.

3. It hit me again tonight how very blessed I am. God has given me some wonderful people to help get me through everything. He's given me fabulous friends, and people that understand exactly where I'm coming from, people to be on my side, even when I'm wrong, and people to make a big deal out of things that are a big deal to me. He's given me people who give fabulous hugs, and can braid my hair, and like oreo's and peanut butter, or will sit outside of Rita's with me for hours on end and let me vent. People to go 'leaf rolling', or laugh until we cry over absolutely nothing other than the fact that we're exhausted, or give me advice, or tell me that I have something in my teeth or on my face. People that share my passion for music or dance, people that I can totally goof off with and just be silly, and people that will speak wisdom into my life. He's given me all sorts of people, and He uses each and every one in a very special way. And I am so thankful for each and every person in my life!

4. If I'm in a bad mood, I should listen to jazz, or Christmas music. Or even better, Jazz Christmas music. It never ceases to put me into a much better mood. Unlike Calculus. Which I should never ever do. Ever. (:

5. You are in charge of your day. You have one day, and you can either be happy or sad in it. It's your choice! So choose joy!

Well, there's more, of course! (: But for now, that's a good list. I hope I haven't convinced you guys that I'm crazy yet!

Love,
Sarah♥
