Just Don't Stand on the Tracks

My blogging is sporadic at best. I decided I needed a topic that would keep my interest for more than a day. So while I hung out in my bed (I have trouble sleeping) I figured it out. My blogs would be the letters I never wrote but wish I had. The first letter I am writing is to myself.

Hey You,

I remember you when you were in your early twenties. You know the girl that I'm talking about. She had the world by a string and never backed away from a challenge. She was rarely seen not smiling or laughing.

That girl has experienced much since those somewhat care-free days. I'm sure many times when your feet were being held to the fire, you didn't know if you could make it through one more stressful situation. You always made it - all the while always saying yes to anyone in need. I think that is what keeps you going. You worry about others more than yourself, you say yes to requests even though you're never quite sure how you'll make it happen. Now don't get me wrong; you have blown your lid more than once. But listen kid, you have to get it out on occasion.

Your heart has been broken, your trust in other sometimes is shaky, and honestly it seems as if you walk in circles. One thing I want you to know is that I noticed you have always kept your integrity and for that I am so proud of you!

It may not be today or tomorrow-but I'm sure your train is coming. Just don't stand on the tracks when it is arriving.

Keep that head up and that smile big!!
