Keep Your Head Up

My goodness! I have been in such a funk lately, and I honestly can't quite pinpoint the reason that I started to feel like this.  I think that it's been an accumulation of things: being in a long distance relationship, realizing that this is my last semester of college (undergrad at least), not being happy or satisfied at my job, still going through some family stuff, AND to top it off while I was back home the cedar count was crazy high so I had allergies unlike any other and that put me in a "funk" -- add all that up and here I am. 

I know that I'm blessed beyond measure, but sometimes I let the small things get to me and don't handle things in the manner I should. That's when things get bad and I'm the world's worst (...or best?) hermit and I hold everything in until I reach my breaking point...BUT I also am so easy to read and I wear my emotions on my sleeve. 

That is...until now. 

I'm going to try to get better at handling my emotions and stop letting the little things knock me down. I've got too much to live for, and holding on to the small things that are out of my control (living long distance until May, being my last semester of college, and my family's stuff) isn't going to make things better. 

There it is...my last self-pitying post.  Last time I am going to bring myself down by things that are out of my control because I have a God that will handle those things for me! 

It's not going to be easy, but I'm going to work hard at being a happier, less-burdened individual and become "Intentionally Focused." (read this website to find out what that means!)

As always, I wish you nothing but happiness and love! 

xo,
