    The Unexpected

    On The Playlist: TEE SHIRT by Birdy * * * * I would like to think I’m a pretty resilient person. I’ve lived life struggling more than reaping rewards. Every obstacle I overcome, every mountain I climb… I can only expel a temporary sigh of relief, because I know there’s always something dark lurking just around the corner.

    Happy Birthday, Daddy!

    “All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” —Walt Disney * * * * This year taught me a lot about myself. I learned to trust my decisions, step back from things that consumed me negatively, embrace true friends who have supported, loved, and comforted me…and I have allowed myself  to grieve my father’s passing… I’m sure I’m not the only one who has faced adversity and obstacles these past few years, but I can only say one…
