So, all week, I've kinda been dreading the day 50...because I'm not an idiot...I know that's half way. But here's the thing, I'm a talker, I want to tell people how my day was, I want to tell them how many crazy things we got ourselves into today, so it makes me sad to know that these hundred days are almost up. But this morning, I was thinking about it, and a thought came to mind...why one hundred? A year has 365 days in it, right? Wouldn't it be cool to look and see my first post, and then my last post a year later? I think it would...so, I'm not saying that everyone I know MUST read them, heck, I don't give a care who reads them, because it's not for others, it's for me to have an outlet, if other people find it obnoxious, they don't have to read them! Anyways, I've decided, I'm going to do the FULL year. This has been such an awesome experience for me, and a stretching one as well, on days when it seems like I have nothing that particularly made me happy, it forces me to count the little things, to count the little blessings God shows me every day. Heck, I should be happy just to wake up in the morning, I should be happy because I get to live on this earth, and then go live an eternity in Heaven with HIM! Anyways, this experiment has been awesome for me, so I don't want to stop it at one hundred, why should I? If you struggle with a depression, or you are just at a really bad place in your life right now, I want to encourage you, at the end of each and every day for at LEAST a hundred days, make a list of the things that made you happy. It will remind you that this life isn't really ALL bad, it's just that, as Christians, we know our reward is in Heaven, which obviously makes this life look terrible, because come on, who can compete with Jesus? But I would encourage you to stop and smell the flowers, stop your busy life for just 5 minutes, to enjoy being human, and the joy of life!
Will you?
<3 Always,
Rose
