Coulda, Shoulda, Woulda...But I'm glad I didn't.

    I've often thought back to when I was in high school an how I didn't really try to stand out or do anything outstanding. I didn't play sports, I quit playing clarinet when it became too hard in 10th grade and my grades were no where near superior. I was the shy girl with a few friends getting into just enough mischief to stay to stay out of big trouble.
    In hind sight, a little more determination and I could have been that girl playing clarinet, getting scholarships of some kind and awards for something. But 4-8 years ago I had no idea who I was. God knew who I was though and he was slowly planting those seeds for my future.
    Lots of mistakes and a couple giant regrets later, here I am forgiven, wiped clean, clean slate, REBORN, new beginning!!
    Everyday I am being blessed by the littlest things that'll make me so happy. In the 3 years since graduating high school I have accomplished so many more things, be it giant or teeny tiny, than I ever did in the 4 years of high school. I can't go on enough about the opportunities that I've been given and how it's shaped me as a person over the last couple years.
    Last semester at school, I tried my best and was so surprised to get straight A's and make the Dean's List. In high school and college for photography I never got straight A's. While working at Home Depot I've tried my hardest to get used to the job and do my best and that hard work paid off and I got a little badge award at the store meeting. It's very small but let's me know that I am doing the right things in this life that I've been given.
    This isn't a post to boast about my many achievements. I was just told by a true friend that if you work hard and your heart is in the right place God will bless you tremendously.
    So if you choose to see everyday as a gift, every opportunity as a chance to learn and grow, try your hardest at everything you do and always be ready to lend a helping hand to anyone in need. God is always watching and He will bless your positivity and kindness.
    Work hard and count your blessings!
