One Step at a Time...

Life has been nothing short of crazy this week. Between work, school, eating, HOMEWORK, dates, and trying to find some time to sleep, my life has been pretty out of control. I have found that I don't sleep enough. Surprise, surprise. I've been sick off and on for the last four weeks or so, and my body decided this week that the little hints it's been sending me just weren't enough. I ended up going to the doctor Monday night because I felt so awful. And the result? Well, it came out fairly complicated, but the end result was, "We're glad you came in when you did because this could turn into serious pneumonia." YIKES. I'm on some serious antibiotics and this killer cough syrup. Tuesday night I decided to go to bed early so I could wake up feeling refreshed the next morning. I went to bed around 9p.m. and woke up at 5a.m. with a terrible headache. I took some Advil and decided I'd sleep in until 6 and then hurry to be ready by 6:30 for work. 6a.m. rolled around and I felt worse than ever. I called in sick to work and went back to bed...next thing I know it's 1p.m.!!!!!! I could not believe I slept for that long. But I feel 10 times better today. 16 hours of sleep is the best medicine! Even after all the craziness and some nights wondering how I survived the day, I am still so grateful for the life I live. I am thankful to have a job, have the opportunity to go to school, live in a free country, be young and able to do tons of fun things, be supported by a great family, make mistakes and learn from them, have great friends...basically I am grateful I get to live my life. The sunny days wouldn't be so great if we didn't have the rainy days. One thing I am trying to get better at is just letting go and just having fun. There's no time to waste and there's nothing to lose. There's no risk if you don't take one.

I am so incredibly blessed.
