Keep on goin'

We are all born with a purpose. A purpose that takes us through twists and turns, bumps and bruises, heart smiles and heart breaks. That's just life. I for one love the journey. I've had my share of ups and downs but I wouldn't change anything about this 'roadtrip'. Every moment has led me to where I am supposed to be. I found my true self and true joy 'miles' down the road. My true joy is still being able to laugh and mean it when life beats down your door and throws everything at you. Joy that wakes you up with a smile when you feel like crying.

It's so easy to get discouraged, depressed, and broken. I get it and have felt it. However, I have also seen and felt the uplifting side. The side when you realize all that has happened along your journey had a reason. Without my experiences, I wouldn't be able to relate to those in need of encouragement, I wouldn't be as happy, and I definitely wouldn't have met my wonderful husband.

Whenever you feel like you haven't got a purpose and a meaning in this world, just keep on pushing. Push, cry, jump, dance, laugh, scream... Whatever you need to do to get you to your 'destination' (that doesn't involve bodily harm to yourself or anyone else), DO IT!! Take each moment, good or not, and run with it. You never know where it will lead you and what it will make you.

Some call it fate, I call it purpose. Keep on goin'!!

  1. Good thoughts! Some situations and circumstances can't be understood until miles down the road.

    Here's what I wrote in a card to Alicia for her 8th grade graduation: "Honor God. Respect yourself. Cherish family and quality friendships. Embrace life!"
