Keep Breathing.

It is so easy to get swept up in the negative things happening, they tend to be the focus of my attention. It gets exhausting.

Within the past 3 weeks someone hacked into my debit account and I had over $400 stolen from me and I left my job at school due to some seriously bad, unsafe co-worker issues. I haven't been able to focus on much else besides all the negative things happening. Then I stopped and realized how insignificant my problems are in comparison to what other people are dealing with. I am so blessed that I have such an incredible support system to help me deal with my negatives. So instead of complaining and focusing on my negatives I made the decision to stop and count my blessings... which are really countless. I am infinitely blessed.

I am blessed with a family that would literally do anything for me, and stand behind me in any choice I make. I am blessed with a mom who is willing to drive 2 hours to go out to coffee with me at the end of a long bad week. I am blessed with a dad who is willing to make phone call after phone call for me to make sure I am safe. I am blessed with cousins that will leave work and take me to the doctors without a second of hesitation. I am blessed with friends who send me verses of encouragement. I am blessed with siblings that reassure me that I am going to be okay. I am blessed with so many people who truly care about my well being. I am blessed by being surrounded by so much love that the negatives seem minuscule when i stop and think about it.
