Pretty crazy idea because any one reading this will soon see that I can barely speak proper English, I cannot write, and I am not the greatest speller. yikes. I don't know what I am thinking!
Just kidding- (for all of you Judy Grimes fans)
I do know what I am thinking. I'm thinking that I spend wwaayy too much time on facebook. And this time usually leaves me feeling down in the dumps and depressed about my life because all I do is compare. And this is a problem for me. A HUGE problem, and for many reasons. One being that I spend too much time focusing on the lives of others and less time actually living my own. I tend to just mope in what I do not have. I mope in how "lame" my life is all because I still have homework every night and... biggest of all- I am not married. so terrible, huh? In actuality, I know this is not true. But this is how I feel too often and I am sick of it/determined to change this way of thinking.
Instead of continuing focusing on what everyone else has and that I do not have, I am going to try and use this blog as a tool to help me focus on the things going on in my own life: The things I do have. The things that happen in my day to day that make me smile or make me think. The fun times I have with others or the things that make me laugh. The little/big things that make me thankful- Thankful for what it is in general, and simply thankful for life.
Why? Because...
I need to be more thankful.
I need to appreciate life as it is.
I need to care.
I need to embrace each day.
I need to enjoy the moments I have.
I need to be present.
I need to start living.
and
I hope to smile and laugh more often.
I hope to make others smile and laugh more often.
I hope to encourage others.
I hope to listen.
I hope to pray. Pray with out ceasing.
I hope to serve.
But why in the world has this become so stinkin' hard for me?

Not sure. But with a lil' change of thinking and a change of focus, I believe I can, and will- enjoy.
Side note- all those "I's" aren't doing me any good.
As I was writing, I was thinking: Oh goodness! that is another problem you got going on Virginia. Stop focusing on yourself.
Life is not about me, me, me, me, and me. I must remember this.
Now I am off. I could write forever. but I am going to end with one stupid thing I am thankful for each night-
The Nanny.
I am thankful that every night (until they decide to air a different show, at which point I will be extremely sad, just like I was once they stopped airing Roseanne and Home Improvement) at 11pm, I can turn on Nick at Night and know that the Nanny will be on. I can lay in bed, get sleepy, laugh at Fran's interactions with Mr. Sheffield, and fall asleep to the sounds of the show. I just love the show!
Truly,
Virginia
