Hello, beautiful you!!! How was your week? Mine was pretty busy (I want some sleep!). But I am glad I had many things to do :) I am blessed to be useful and healthy to do many things.
Did you follow the resolutions from Monday? I did! And I think I like this new idea. I don't know why I've never done push-ups everyday. It's only been five days and I can do them much better now. Doing little things daily really makes a difference, rather than doing a lot in one sitting. Today I plan on making a special bag for a homeless man I always pass on my drive (I hope he finds it useful). I will continue adding to my resolutions for November on next Monday :)
Our song for this weekend is the new song by Rachel Platten: "Stand By You". I love this song! It might be because I value loyalty and perseverance, but I find the meaning of the song great. When you find friends who are true and loyal to you (and you to them :) and when you have family that is always there for you, you have found the greatest treasure in this world! It truly is :D It reminds me of how Jesus, even in his most darkest moments, even as he was dying, he was loyal to his Father and his values.
How many times do we doubt our values and perceptions or friends? How many times are we tempted to follow the crowd? Don't! Stand by your beliefs! Stand by your true friends! Stand by what is good! Even if that means going through the most horrible moments, you will be stronger at the end. And most importantly, you would have stood by you own side, your own truth.
When you stand up for yourself and your loved ones, you create meaning for your life, and you create the person who you are! Stand by your friends and values. Explore and know what's out there, but always have a strong base that keeps you up. Be strong!
Have a great weekend guys! I am glad to hear any comments you might have :)
Be strong, be unique, and step out of your comfort zone!
