Well, hey there!! This month, I reached my 19th trip around the sun, and I’m feeling pretty dang blessed to be exactly where I am in life right now. This year has brought upon a whole new chapter of growing up, For the past few years, I’ve spent some time reflecting on the last year of my life in my journal, but this year, I thought I’d share on my lil corner of the internet!
- Jesus is the only constant, and He is so perfectly enough.
- If I play my cards right, I can keep my hair curled for about 5 days!
- Seasons are just that- seasons. Nothing ever stays the same, so enjoy right where God places you.
- And if you’re in a winter-ish season, spring always comes quicker than you think!
- Food is fuel and ice cream is never a bad idea.
- Boys are fun, but not the epitome of life! I’d rather wait on prince charming than kiss some frogs…!
- Keep on waiting for true, genuine, and reciprocal friendships… your girls are out there!!!!
- Virtue is so so so important; what we think, feel, and even do when no one is watching demonstrates the pureness if our heart. While no one is perfect, it is essential to hold your character to a higher standard than the world.
- Everything worthwhile is uphill.
- Your family deserves the same respect, effort, and grace that you pour into your friendships.
- Lipgloss and an iced coffee can turn any day around!
- There will be days that you go to bed wishing you did something, or even everything, differently. We can’t go back and change the past, but we can always do the next right thing.
- Everyone around you has a story, and it is always worth it to discover it.
- Joy is a choice & goodness is found where you look for it!!!
- Comparison, envy, and pride sneak in where there is the greatest opportunity for genuine friendship and community. Don’t let them rule you!
- Change is scary, but oh-so worth it.
- Life is fun when you make it fun!!!!!
- Gratitude is everything; life changes when you view it as a blessing.
Just a few thoughts about this sweet chapter that came to a close. I got to celebrate my birthday with sweet friends and my incredibly perfect family. My heart is so full!! 🙂
Remember to count your blessings today!!! Even if that just means getting to wake up this morning.
Simply,
Sydney
