This 'Hot Mess' Life

Enjoying this casual Sunday and gearing up for a busy week of work. I'm looking forward to having next Monday off. I think it's for President's day or something which gives me even more reason to enjoy the day off and recognize our current President and all the ones before him and the hard work and sacrifices they made in order to lead the best nation in the world, at least in my opinion. 

But enough about that. I am not opening this up to any political debate. Any comments regarding such a topic will be deleted. Facebook has enough of that garbage and I don't won't to pollute my page with such nonsense.

Today, or should I rather say that this week, I have been quite reflective in my life and all it's happenings. So many things rush through my mind that includes being a wife, mother, cancer warrior, and a hard-working American, I tend to overwhelm myself with all the different hats I wear a day, that I became overly emotional.

One of those overly emotional hats I wear involves being a cancer warrior and all that history that comes with it. So my best way of dealing with that, is to blog about it. You can check out my thoughts from yesterday on my cancer blog by visiting www.embracingmynewnormal.blogspot.com and reading about all my ramblings on that matter.

So anyway, as I'm in this 'poor me' mindset, I get a text and then a follow-up call from my cousin.

I truly believe God was listening and knew that not only did I need this call, but so did my cousin. We only live about 20 minutes away from each other but because of our hectic schedules we hardly ever get together or talk. We were definitely long way overdue and ended up talking for a little over two and a half hours!!!! 

During those two and half hours it seemed like we pretty much talked about everything under the sun and I gained much more insight on the things that were bothering me and also learned that this is normal. This is life. Change occurs in all aspects in our life and when you believe those changes are not what they should be, its all a part of God's plan. Sometimes during those changes, the Devil is at work, and we need to maintain our faith in God and give it up to him. 

I learned that I'm not the bad person I was making myself out to be or a failure I thought I had become. That maybe God has intervened for reasons only known to him and that the path I was on was not the one for me. And to keep the path God has laid ahead of me without trying to go back.

I think we both ended our call feeling content and comfort that life is and can be a real hot mess and that we're all just trying to survive and we're winging it the best way we know how.

So here's to trying to survive in this thing we call the 'hot mess' life!

Oh and btw, stay tuned to a future blog, not mine, that speaks to the 'hot mess' of life.

I will end this blog entry with this random thought 

 'DIE YOU STINKING STINKBUG, DIE' !!!
