Hey! Alright so actually a few things to talk about today! First..HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! Now if you don't have a Valentine dont you dare get depressed and feel bad for yourself now! Remember this is a positive blog, where we think of what we ARE blessed to have not to think of what for whatever reason we don't have. (Cause sometimes we may not realize it but not having something even if we really want it, is a blessing). If you dont have a significant other, what are you gonna do? You cant "hide" from a day, it's.......a day! I know it can get depressing if you see other people constanlty post all their lovey dovey stuff on this day hahhaha be happy for those people! They found someone they love and want to share their life with right now. Step number one to being a happy person, is being able to be happy for other people, not Jealous.
So you don't have someone, personally I think the first step to being able to "have someone" is to realize that you don't need someone. You have to be happy with who you are as an idividual person in order to really be happy with someone else! Cause if not then you end up looking at relationships as some sort of "therapy" for you to be happy and you have way to much dependancy on them like you can not live without them. Yeah it's romantic to think that way but it's just not true. You will survive just fine without a significant other. Plus Valentines day can be celebrated with people you love and people who love you, not only with "significant others". But just be happy with who you are as a person, understand that you are ok alone(even though you never really are alone), and give it time. The right person will come along.
SECONDLY: Just wanted to point out that you can be thankful for the same thing multiple days hahahah. I mean I know Im trying to go the longest I can without repeating stuff, but just cause I wrote about my mom 3 weeks ago doesnt mean Im not thankful for her everyday! (Especially today cause she bought me food and when I got home from school starving it was a great surprise! ) lol. I say that because sometimes there are people who struggle with realizing all they are thankful for. But you can not tell me there is not at least ONE thing you are perfectly aware that you are thankful for. So if you genuinely can only think of one thing, then you be thankful for that one thing everysingle day! But now, we get to what Im thankful for today hahhaa
I am thankful that sometimes we don't have control over things we REALLY want control over. Now in my life I'm really big on Self control, and the idea of taking responsibility for what you do and the fact that we always have choices. So the idea that I can't control everything is definitley scary for me, but even if I dont like not having control of a situation, I have to admit many times that's for the better. I say this because this year my little sisters had to go to a different school. Now this does not seem so bad or crazy but the school they had to leave is the school where ALL the grandchildren so far have gone to. I honeslty don't know dates and I'm sure my cousins will appreciate that I don't haha But the oldest grandchildren who first attended this school are married and one has a son. So we've been part of this school for many years and also part of the parish there. It is a huge part of our life and we love it. So it was hard to not drop them off at that school anymore, and picking them up was weird because I was so use to knowing EVERYONE! My little sisters did not want to leave, I did not want them to leave, my Mom did not want them to leave, but because of certain reasons my parents decided it was better for my little sisters to go to a different school at least for a while. One of my little sisters needed extra help with understanding some material and the new school offered that help. It was hard, people cried the first few weeks at the new school, and the little ones still say they miss the old school.
But today they went to visit the old school (which by the way is still our parish so we didnt just "leave" it completely hahah but still it was hard for them not seeing their friends and stuff). And my mom told me that when they got home they were really happy they got to see their friends and they had a great time! And that my sister was really excited to tell my mom that she listened in on some of their classes and that she already learned what they were learning and that when no one else knew the answer to a few quetions she raised her hand and knew the right answer. And she also already learned what they were learning in math, so much so that she actually taught the class how to do a certain math problem! She was sooo happy and confident that she knew the material and knew the answers! It honeslty was a great moment for a lot of people but the fact that she wasnt afraid to answer or that she wasnt nervous about the teacher calling on her but rather WANTED to answer, that just makes me very happy to know that she is getting the rigth help she needed and that she is confident in her own intelligence. It also proved to my parents and me that they made the right choice. It didnt always feel like the right choice and it sure as heck was not the easy choice, but it helped my little sisters a lot and will help them in the future as well. See if I had control of this, they would have NEVER left the school. But THANK GOD I had no choice in it hahhaha.
Everything happens for a reason in this case we got to see the reason a year later, but sometimes you never see the reason, you just have to know that there is one. It's hard to understand you have no control of certain things, and it might hurt to make a decision sometimes but in the end, the hardest decisions to make can be the right ones. Just have faith.
CHALLENGE: Be happy for those around you and for all the blessings they have in their life! Constantly remember what you are thankful for. And have faith, let go of what you cant control, and just know that Everything Happens for a Reason. You may not always see the reason, but the challenge is to have faith.
