Happy Thanksgiving everyone! I hope you all had a nice time with your loved ones!
I was blessed to get to spend the day in Indianapolis with my side of the family. My sister, Lori recently moved from Florida to Indiana and was kind enough to host Thanksgiving dinner at her new home. It was so wonderful to have us all together again. Truly blessed!
Then we went back home to the Fort to go to Dan's mothers house. It was nice to spend time with her.
I'm so grateful for everything that this year has brought us! Olivia is getting so much out of preschool, Gabe is getting the help he needs in his speech therapy, my job continues to allow me to work PT and I love what I do, and Dan always amazes me with his persistent drive to always wanting to learn more and push himself everyday to provide a nice lifestyle for our family. None of this would be possible without our amazing Catholic community at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton parish. Putting God first has truly changed my life over the past 5 years.
It hurts to see those that I love live without Christ, but I know all things happen in HIS time.
This brings me to my next topic, that life truly is too short. Holding grudges only holds you back.
Life is too short to continually focus and dwell on the past. Enjoy the present and prepare for the future.
Life is too short to feed into any negativity aimed towards you. Focus on those that support and believe in the fabulous person that you are. You can't please everyone, so don't try (I've struggle with this one).
Life is too short to not get out and enjoy (healthy) things. Don't be afraid to step out of your comfort zone every now and then. You'll be surprised at how much you'll discover.
In conclusion, life is too short to not love yourself! You are the one and only you and you were created in the eyes of God to love others. Let's lift one another up and live with Christ's love in our hearts...always!
God Bless each of you for being a part of my life! XoXo
Love in Christ,
Amy
