Family...well close enough

If I could go back in time and tell myself what is and what would be important, I'd have so much to say. I'd let nervous and self conscience me know that God has heard your prayers and you won't EVER BE THE SAME. I'd tell another me to choose the people that you invest in wisely as to avoid a ton of heartache and general hurt.


Then there would be a lesson that I've found to be so valuable. Know that you are so very loved. Know this.


Before memorial day, I was down because I knew that I would have to spend the holiday alone. It's all good though! I'm okay with being alone. But sometimes, you just don't want to do another holiday fixing 2 hotdogs on a grill for yourself so that you can say that you celebrated. :/


But, God has given me amazing "family" through my friends. I wasn't alone. This is turning into one of the better holidays that I've experienced in years. For that, I am thankful. More importantly, I'm reminded that in this big wide world...I'm known and loved. Since it's memorial day...that will be etched in my memory.
