Blessed Day

I immediately know how closed minded someone is when they say, "There are no coincidences. Stuff just happens." Oh man, have they blinded themselves.

Today, it was seriously all about give and take. I saw the results of good and bad decisions I made throughout my day more highlighted than usual. It was probably because I had been asking for it; I just had to look in front of me to see it.

When one begs God for an answer, then mopes in their anger, resentment and self loathing, they blind themselves to what is happening around them. How can you hear someone speaking to you if you don't try to listen? It is easy to ignore them and tune out. How can you see what someone is trying to show you if you don't try to look? It is easy to look the other way. You must put in the effort.

I'm sure that everyone has had a moment of such sadness/depression where nothing is visible to them. They are so focused on a hurt/thought that their mind is fixed inward and their eyes most likely down. When you put aside what is affecting you for a few quiet moments, you may find you hear and see your surroundings better than when you were fixed inside of your head, fertilizing a small problem that has twined itself around the blood vessels of your brain. I know this particularly well; I am the worry wort of the family. Until someone tells me to snap out of it, I will just get stuck! Yet it is because of my own struggles
with this fixation that I have learned how to break it and pull myself out of it, along with my wonderful family and fiancé as my powerhouses to help me through.

I am so grateful for today and yesterday and all the days in my past that have brought me to where I am today.
