Day Eight

Day Eight - Goals

Setting goals is a very important part of getting through everyday life for me sometimes. I sometimes have short term goals that are created 5 minutes before whatever I want to achieve. Each day presents  new challenge and unexpected turns when someone in your family is affected by Alpha or any disease for that matter. Setting goals is an important part of making it through each day and making sure that things do get accomplished and Alpha does not hold you back. I know in recent days I personally have been letting the affect Alpha has on me and my family run my life. I let the stress and worry get to me and it truly makes me depressed and unwilling to participate in anything. I want to set a goal to not let Alpha run my life and live each day for the moment and enjoying every bit of it. Letting Alpha run your life only takes the joy out of it and prevents you from creating memories with the time that you have left with your loved one. Many of my friends have been telling me for months now that I need to just enjoy what I have here and now and not worry about what lies ahead. They are right! Its time I listen to them and enjoy everything I have and rejoice in the here and now and the memories that can be created. I want to be able to get up in the morning and praise God that I get to see another morning and spend that day with the people I love. Its time for me to have some faith that things will all fall into place as God has planned even when things get hard. So here are a list of some of the goals I am setting for myself to make my life and the lives of people around me the best it can be!

My Goals
1. Praise God Every Morning I wake Up
2. Let go of all the worry and stress and let God run my life
3. Stop letting Alpha Run my life
4. Listen to the people around me and know they want me to enjoy every moment
5. Create Memories every moment that there is!

A Special Place

It has been way to long since I have written. My senior year has taken over my life! Since I last wrote school has started and Senior year is going much better than Junior year ever did. I love my classes that I am taking of course with exceptions here or there and I am just so thrilled it is my senior year I think I will be able to look past any negative situation in some positive form. Marching band and School are taking up all my free time. There is no time to be messing around, I am at school, doing homework, at a rehearsal, lesson or practicing it seems. So to take a break from the crazy month that it has been my family and I are going to be traveling to our favorite place! We will be spending the weekend in Vermont. There are so many memories there with my family and I feel like a part of me grew up there. Every winter my family would travel up there to ski until skiing became impossible for my family. With Dad having Alpha one of the things he truly loved to do has been taken aw...

Day 11- A Picture of your Best Friend Since I will be away this weekend I have decided that I will post for the next two days awhile! My Mom and I! My best friend in the whole world is my Mom! No matter what life brings shes always the one there helping me to get through it! I can tell her everything!! She always puts me first and always is there for me!! I look up to her everyday! Love you mom! "A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving

For Nothing is Impossible with God!- Luke 1:37

"You are exactly where God wants you to be at   this very moment. Every Experience is part of   his divine plan." This quote has hit home with me the last few days. Its words speak to me. There are so many days when I question why things are happening in my life or why things can't just work out a little bit easier but this quote reminds me that they are working out a little bit easier then I like to think they are. It reminds me that everything I do and all the experiences I go through are part of a bigger plan and a bigger picture. Some experiences I never question because they are fun and don't bring me any emotional upset or pain. It's when the difficult experiences come that I begin to forget this quote. I begin to forget what my life really is about. It is not just that bad experience that defines me. There is so much more that defines me and my life. I am defined by the way I react to the situations rather than by the situations themselves. ...
