Can't Avoid Those days

Today is just one of those days . . .

I don't want to complain though. I want to be happy. What better way to be happy than to be thankful for what you have.

One: I am thankful for family. Family is one thing I take for granted too often. (This is only some of the fam)

Two: I am thankful for friends. I don't know what I would do without them. (this pic is meant to represent all my little friends :D )

Three: I am thankful for flowers. They brighten up my day no matter what. Sometime in the future when I have a house of my own, I want to pick it up and place it in a field of flowers, or have a flower shop of my own.

Four: I am thankful for happy people. Not the overly happy people, just happy. They remind me to stop being a grump.

Five: I am thankful for this nasty cold weather. It makes me grateful for summer!

Six: I am thankful for Mexico. Yep, I said Mexico. Why? Because I get to disappear for a week on a cruise to Mexico! I have always wanted to do something like this and now it is quickly approaching.

 

Ok, I feel a little better now.  :)

One Glimpse Changes All

What do I mean when I say "one glimpse changes all,"well I don't really know yet . . . I do, but I don't . .

I wake up each morning ready to take on another day, but I feel like I've been living it with my eyes closed tight.

I use to play this game when I was little where I would close my eyes and try to get from point A to point B. It was all fun and games until I would run into a wall or stub a toe. 

This is what I've been playing as of late. I walk around living a college life. My eyes are closed to what's around me. I go with the flow and enjoy things as they come. A door is shut tight with the "planning" Shay behind it. Planning out my life has always been something I've done since I was little. Now I am taking a break from that side of me.

Due to the fact that my vision has been impaired, 

I have recently hit a wall. 

Or have I?

This weekend I was able to open one of my eyes to get a small glimpse of the whole scheme of life.  The planning Shay is trying to break free but I need to keep her locked up for awhile longer so she doesn't over analyze the situation. (And yes, I referred to myself in third person. That just happened.)

Maybe this one glimpse can guide me to another adventure in life. Maybe that adventure won't last long. . Maybe it will last a lifetime . .

Whatever it may be, I am excited. I know this is a really vague post.. Some may know what I'm referring to, but those that are completely lost - hopefully it will make sense in the near future.
