Inspiration comes in many forms...

Sometimes even in the form of your daily horoscope. Mine today particularly struck a chord with me, let's see if you all will agree with the stars today.

Your Daily Horoscope

"Today is a great day to let your artistic nature shine through, Libra. Your sense of color and pattern is right on target and your words are more poetic than usual. Create a time and space for your creative inner nature to manifest on the physical plane. Let your fantasy world spill onto a piece of paper for others to see. You have tremendous gifts. Feel free to share them with the world."

What seems bizarre is that for me everything did seem better today. I woke up AMAZINGLY on time today! I was able to make a smoothie for breakfast and enjoy each and every sip without feeling the need to gulp it down (like I do on most mornings) and my shower and getting ready routine was not rushed and frantic. Instead of me hopping around my closet trying to pull my pants up, throw a shirt on, and hop out of the closet with one sock on while simultaneously trying to brush my teeth, put my boots on and make a mad dash to the door all before 7:35 (ok let's be real...I'm lucky to get out the door before 7:55am on most days). But not today! Today was different, today started off fantastic and I won't let a single thing get in the way of me having a wonderful day!!!

Now onto sharing my 'tremendous gifts' as my horoscope would proclaim today. How about my wisdom...err or wit! Nope scratch that, today it's all about blessings or better yet how one views the world around them. I might sound somewhat scatter brained at the moment but trust I am working on getting to the point. My resolution this year is to work on me and by working on me that would include how I view the world. Last year, to say it lightly, I was in a rut. A rut beyond ruts. I was so unsatisfied with life and everything it had offered me but yet I was not able to see that until years end. To me, it didn't seem to be affecting my mood. *Newsflash* I was a walking talking mood killer!!! Last year was a woo is me year. I am most thankful that I can now see that. When someone would tell me to 'look on the bright side' or 'let it roll off your shoulders' it was like someone was asking me to move a mountain. This year things will be different. This year I hope to exude all the confidence and ease of someone who has mastered their craft (fake it till you make, right?) I may be completely in the dark as to the direction my life will be going this year but the one thing I will always know is that I have faith in an awesome God and I have faith that he has something great planned for me. Just that thought alone brings a smile to my face and gives a twinkle to my eye! :)

This year my approach to life is to look at the glass as always half full, to see that things will have a way of working themselves out, and that God is in control. The last one is tough, as I have mentioned before that letting go of control is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. Clearly, I have not done the best job at controlling my life so by letting go out of that control I can only imagine how differently my life will be at this time next year!!

To wrap things up I wanted to share two blogs that have shed some light in my life on how to praise God and really be thankful for everything in our lives even at the most trying times.

The first blog is the Sullivan's blog. I went to high school with Sara and started following her blog early on and became attached to their message. They were given the most terrifying news but were so grateful for the positives in their life. So if you have a moment I'd suggest starting at the beginning of their journey and then continue to check back as Brady makes frequent updates on their life.

The other blog is from a girl that I also went to school with but her journey is very different from the Sullivan's but yet she still has such a positive outlook even when times are trying.

And just to throw this out for a very thrilling and humorous read is from another person from school that is now enjoying traveling the world with her husband as he plays hockey and she lives the life as a full-time tourist!! (So envious ;))
