Unique cup of TEA

Hey, 
I just had the thought," What could be a better time to write a BLOG? I am kinda tired, my eyes are super DRY and I probably say weird things!" 
And I said, " YES! This is SMART"
Okay, I am done having a conversation with myself.Wait isn't that what a BLOG is???
HA Ha !! If so I am game. 
I love writing to myself. I have this notion that if I write it down, that one day someone will read it and it will mean something to them. This is why I write in my journal every night. Now, I don't write just so my future kids will one day read it, I write because, one day I will need it. So here I am writing to myself about why I write to myself. NEAT! 


What Do I want to say right now? What do I need To hear? 
I was just on Twitter. (It's just so fun) but, I saw this wonderful quote

"Remember that you are unique. If that is not fulfilled, then something wonderful has been lost." - Martha Graham

Yep, that is it. I needed to hear that. Sometimes I forget that I am unique...okay lets be honest I am reminded that I am different EVERYDAY! hahahaha :) 

The funny thing about me is that I like being different....I actually LOVE it. 

I am different  because, I choose to be. I think that is one of the smartest choices I have ever made. 

Today I have been reminded of the many roads in my life I could have taken. WOW! Some of those were pretty scary. But, I didn't pick the road where I was walking in a shadow of someone else Thank goodness! I have been  uniquely paving my road in all different directions...literally. 

Me being me is something new everyday. But, it is who I am. CRAZY! Hahaha!!! 

I didn't really mean to write a blog about how weird I am to figure out that I am WEIRD! 

So here is my positive note. Everyday we all have something to complain about. RIGHT! So maybe instead of using all of our thoughts/time on that little bit of life's discomfort, we should embrace it, make it help us. 

The people who actually know me, know that life hasn't always been the perfect cup of TEA. I love it.I would not be the UNIQUE person that I am today without my unique cup of tea I was given. I love the cup I was given, even though it's a little glued together.


 I am one who likes to write out the beautiful problems that consume my valuable time. But, why not write down what really is beautiful in my life? I have no REASON to complain!

 I use to wear this ring on my finger my first year at Tuacahn, I use to call it the WIATF (what am I thankful for) ring (wow that is such a long title). 

It was a constant reminder, that I always had something to be thankful for. 


So tonight I am thankful for

• A pen & paper
• My family, my friends, and the people who don't really know me but, they have changed my life.
• Clean drinking water
• I live in the United States (Freedom of Religion)
• My love for the ARTS
• The smell of WINTER
• Laughing Humor (HAHAHA)
• The Road I get to pave
• Trails 
• My Dreams

I could go on for days... which is kinda my goal. 

Life is good. When I make it that way. 

Love,

p.s. We all have something to be THANKFUL for
