Stressed Much??

No matter how much crap I’ve gone through, how much drama I’ve let consume me, or how much weight I carry on my shoulders, there are several lessons I’ve learned.

1. Crap is crap – you can deal with it in unhealthy ways (drinking, smoking…), you can ignore it, or u can look it straight in the eyes and tackle it to its knees.
2. You can pray about your anxiety and worries
3. You can bitch and complain about how bad you’ve got it
4. You can talk to someone to help you work though it
5. Trust your intuitions

A combination of all the above seems to work for me, after all I seem to thrive better under  pressure. Choose the way that works best for you. You are human with plenty stupid human emotions. Suck it in and let it out. There are bigger problems if you step back and look a around.

Simple Pleasures

Holidays can be chaotic. Let’s face it, with little ones, gifts, themed decorations, themed attire… Holidays are great, but exhausting all at the same time. 

Easter 2015, was surprisingly nice. Even with the above named necessities/accessories. Enjoying great food and family conversations, the not-so-perfect weather could not dampen our celebration. Jesus died for our simple pleasures, for our not-so-perfect individual  souls. We are surrounded by blessings and taking it all in, breath by breath, minute by minute, our not-so-perfect life, is somehow now our perfectly perfected life. Family is a blessing. Easter is our blessing. I am thankful for my life, my family, my everything.

Good Friday. #familytime #ihavetowork

Working for a Catholic Healthcare facility, one might assume Good Friday a holiday, well that’s what you get for assuming. 

While my family visits family at the beach, I will arrive early to work; probably work all day and drive home… like I do everyday. Even though my fam will be enjoying each others company, I am grateful for my #blessings. 

My healthy family, my job, my boss, my long drive, my aching back, all worth the struggles. Nothing compared to the cross Jesus endured. All I have because of Him. I am greatful, we are all blessed.
