Granted

I've been getting reading a lot of books lately.. And each book has taught me a different lesson, but in each book one lesson remains the same and I want to share that to you.

Time is something we should never take for granted. Whether we are young, immature, old, married or single, healthy or sick. Time is something we use to measure moments of happiness or sadness.. We use time to look forward, and also to look at our pasts.

Where am I going with this? Don't take time for granted. Whether it's time you've got left during class-there are kids around the world who would probably give you the clothes on their back for an opportunity to learn. Don't worry what time you get off work, be thankful you're employed.

Time heals all wounds? It does if you give it the chance.. Don't worry about who broke your heart because it doesn't matter. In time, the person you're meant to be with will come to you, when you're ready for them.

During this time Dustin (husband) has been training for the military, I've learned to appreciate the 10 or so minute phone calls. The texts and the letters or cards. I've learned that not only does distance make the heart grow fonder, but that all obstacles we have gone through only take time and every second is worth it.

Don't take your time here on Earth for granted. There's a purpose for you whether you know it or not. You may not realize it but you may be touching someone's life just by saying hi or complimenting them. Realize that everything happens for a reason, and you just might be a reason in someone else's path in life and just dont know it..

A couple books I read were about running away from something you're afraid of.. I don't believe in fleeing from fear. I believe, even though easier said than done, that you should fight it. Whatever fear you're afraid of, show it who's boss...

The one book that I could probably read over and over: The Five People You Meet in Heaven.

If you need time or space to "navigate" as Jason Mraz says, take that book with you.

Remember that time is something that some of us don't have, some of us wish it would hurry up, slow down, or even all around stop. Stop wishing. Let time take it's time.

You might regret it later, or miss something important. Don't take it for granted..

I keep on fallin' in <3

... I have been in a weird funk the last few weeks and I am glad to say I've gotten myself out of it. Not sure where my mind was but I am glad to be back.. So heres my first blog of 2013~

My husband was home for Christmas and every day I was with him I just fell in love all over again.. Whether it was coming home to a clean room, or laundry being done.. Or walking out to my car after a long day of work to find a rose on my car... I just remembered that I chose to be with this man for the rest of my life and I know I will never regret it. Love isn't something that's always easy to find, or to keep lasting long.. Sometimes we have to climb a mountain just to find the water to nourish the love we have created. Some days are easier than others and some harder. Yet when you have that person in your life, you never stop fighting for them. You don't let them go. Nor do you stray from being there for them... The truest love lasts forever because it does not have an ending.

There are a couple of couples I know who cherish the kind of love & faith toward each other as I have with my husband - and I admire it. Shout outs to
Daniel & Malia ~ couldn't be more "Notebook" worthy..
Rachael & Nick ~ the worlds perfect high school sweethearts and still smile like they're freshmen (: ...
Jeff & Ashley ~ true love that came just at the right time for both of you (: ...

I just want people to remember that sometimes it takes a few tries before that one you never stop falling in love with comes along... Let love come to you when it's time...
I am so glad to have someone so great to love and to cherish as mine <3
