To finding the good

It’s really easy to get caught up in thoughts and sadness and all the bad things but it’s just as easy to get caught up in dreams and happiness and all the things that bring you joy. So why is it so hard to choose those good things? I’m sure not everyone can relate, but I struggle with letting myself get caught up in the good things and often find myself fighting the bad instead.  I found myself doing that when my professor emailed my class encouraging participation in the slice of life challenge yesterday. After I read the email I thought of how much I wanted to try it but my mind filled with negative thoughts immediately. I didn’t stop thinking about it though, I thought about how fun it could be and how it might even help me to stop and see the good.  My sister recently moved halfway across the country and that has been such a hard life change for me. We may be three years apart but we're so close it could've been three minutes, I miss her more everyday. Today ...

Hawaii

Today I'm dreaming of Hawaii The beautiful sandy beaches to the rocky ones that require a little more maneuvering  The clear, blue water that allows you to see underneath you The water where I saw sea turtles, dolphins, and lots of fish Hanauma Bay where you can snorkel and enjoy the underwater wildlife Zip lining through the trees and beautiful greenery Paddle boarding through the ocean And my favorite thing of all - coconuts Sweet fresh coconuts, cut and prepared right in front of you  The sun beating down warming your skin  The breeze ever so gentle  The ocean air bringing peace Peace is what I feel when I think of Hawaii This summer will be my third trip to Hawaii - praying it still happens with this virus going on. My first trip I was probably 5 but I still remember the joy I felt, and the peace that came with being on the island. My second trip I was about 16, and again nothing but pure joy and peace. It truly is a sweet escape, m...

Sunday drives

Today I woke up earlier than usual to work a markdown shift at my job. This meant I got off at 11 am and got to enjoy my Sunday. This is something I rarely get to do, I usually get the closing shift on Sunday’s and spend my whole day at work. I chose to spend it with my parents and little sister, we went for a drive and went out to lunch. When we all lived at home we used to go for drives all the time, no location in mind just driving through the country admiring land and houses. I never understood it when I was younger, I was always annoyed I had to go in the car with my sisters just to drive around. But now I understand. I understand the peace it brings, as well as the exposure to new places. The dreams it brings, imagining the house you would build on the land, all the things that would make it home. Imagining the things you would change about a house or neighborhood to make it perfect. Just dreaming.  I’m thankful for this slice of life, where my parents taught me how to...
