Quote of the Day:
Difficult times have helped me to understand better
than before, how infinitely rich & beautiful life is in
everyway, & that so many things that one goes
worrying about are of no importance whatsoever.
I was hoping to get on here more while i'm gone and I have not been doing a very good job, that and I hate blogs without pictures and I haven't been taking very many pictures here. I'm a slacker I know. But this is what my life has resulted to. From my queen sized bed down to a twin. From my huge closet down to a teeny wall locker and having to wear the same uniforms day in and day out. My life is so drab! But the awesome thing about this is, is that it could always be worse. I spent months stressing about this deployment, and it's more the unknown that gets to me. But instead of being bummed that don't have my queen sized bed that I can sprawl out in I am thankful that my twin sized bed isn't a cot and my "Chu" isn't a tent. And even though I have to tuck my shirt in everywhere I go and that I have to sport my pink reflective belt, instead of my red heels, it could definitely be worse. Life is full of rich and beautiful moments, its AMAZING! But I think some people are so busy worrying that they can't stop and breathe for a second and realize how beautiful life really is. And this is coming from someone in Baghdad Iraq.... so if you are home with your family, wearing anything you want, eating whatever you want, going anywhere you want and you can't find a beautiful thing there, shame on you! Life is not something to just watch pass you buy its something to be experienced to the fullest! So when you are old and looking back at the years of your life you are able to do it without worry and without regrets. Write down all the things in your life that are beautiful and make you happy the next time you are feeling down. Most of the times you feel that way it is your outlook and not the situation and if we focus more on the beauties of life the happier we will be. I know when I'm old and look back at all of my adventures and experiences there is one word I want to describe my life. ORGASMIC!! On the top of your list pick one word, just one word to describe the life you want, and do everything possible to make it happen. If you don't, you are only cheating yourself. Till next time!
