Patience and Love

Everyone says that the best things in life are worth waiting for. When I think about that I agree but than I wonder if something does come a long how do you know if that is what you were waiting for and not just another test.... Life is full of challenges and I love that fact! Life wouldn't be as enjoyable if we just went through everything with no problems. We wouldn't learn, we wouldn't enjoy things as much, we wouldn't understand the true value of what we have in our lives. Already in life there is so much to be taken for granted. I know I take way to much for granted! I just wanted to write this and thank everyone for your patience with me. I have so much going in my life right now that I don't stop and smell the roses as much as I would like and I know that it doesn't only effect me. Today would have been the one year birthday for my sisters dog Nala. She was such a sweet loving little dog! She was so curious about everything. She accidently got into something she shouldn't have and passed away in August. Than two weeks ago my great grandmother passed away after living a long and wonderful life. I don't remember much about her but what I do makes me wish I took the time to get to know her better. Even though she lived in Peru we have many things in our lives that make communication so easy! Even though Nala was just a dog and I didn't know Mamita Cata very much they both made me realize that I need to take time to let those I love know that I do love them and how much I appreciate them. We also need to take the time appreciate the little things is life. Some of my favorite things in life: Family, Movies, Silly Faces, Friends, Blogs, Shoes (lol), Flowers, Memories, Birds, New and Old Traditions, Sunrises, Nephews, Rainbows, Sunsets, Kisses, Rain Dancing, Music, Hugs, Different Cultures, Oceans, One on One Moments, Baking, Reading, Holidays, Cloud watching, Drives, Calls to just say hello, Laying on the ground, Pictures, Mornings, Conversations, Love, Evenings, Missing someone, Rain, The Sun and Moon, New Beginnings, Dancing, Laughing, Scrapbooks, Culture, Smiles, New Babies, Pets, Children, Laughing, Stars, Silly Laughs, and Children's LOVES!!!!
