Over the past few months I have been doing a lot of soul searching. Ya know, trying to figure some things out and decide what it is that I really want out of this life. As I was doing this so called "soul searching" I have come to realize that it's the small little joys in life that keep me going. So many people seem to worry, and worry, and worry, that they never take the time to enjoy what it is they are actually doing! I am a firm believer in the saying, "The Joy is in The Journey." This thing we call life is one of the greatest gifts we have been given and although at times it may get rough, that is no reason we cannot enjoy it. So much sadness in the world, so much suffering, so much distress that I think the world could use a happier breed of people. I have made a goal and promised myself that I will not let a day go by that I don't laugh out loud, and at least smile for a while and take a step back to appreciate my journey and all that I have learned from it. I am not perfect, far from that, but I have learned so much from my life that I do not regret anything. I realize there is nothing I can do to change the past, only the future and I am excited for what is ahead, all the little joys, struggles, stresses, vacations and experiences that will continue to shape me into the person that i will eventually become!
