Yes those are the words I have thought about lately after Tim McGraw's new song has been coming on the radio...have you heard it? maybe take a minute to click the link above and listen to it while you read this blog of mine... I have thought a lot about life lately...basically thats what you do when you drive to work for 45 minutes and home for 45 minutes.
Life...what is life? why are we here doing day to day running around? trying to get to work, trying to make the world happy, trying to make yourself happy, trying to be a better person everyday, stressing about life, stressing about the future, or money, or living, how about kids, a family ya know the jiff I am getting right? if not you will...
In my last blog I posted I had posted about our invitro and the plans we have made as husband and wife, we decided to hold off during the holidays because you know how the holidays are...{stressful} I was stressed, I was emotional, I was angry, I was happy, then I was sad, then I was flat out boiling pissed off, I WAS ON HORMONES...What do hormones do to you? search and research people...they make a girl completly insane. Don't believe me? ask my many of friends that are going through invitro or that have done invitro we can all gang up on you and go against you so don't mess with us. {especially on meds! because you will get proven wrong} where am I going with this? I just want to talk about life...how hard life can get and how confusing it can be. Through all the hard times and the struggles {everyone goes through them} people need to remember to just always stay humble and kind to one another just like good ol' Tim sings in his song...this world is serisouly cruel at times and there are a lot of people in this world that are fighting a hard battle that we know nothing about...
I have learned in the last couple months how much I want to be better a better person, how much I want to be kinder, happier, live life to its fullest, I want to live life as if I did have a child and they could see me as a mom and want to grow up to be just like me...I want to be a wife, mother, and someday grandma and I want to be remembered as the fun Brittney that never let life get to her...that all the struggles that I have been through they have not bothered me...even though yes behind closed doors I have been a wreck, I have had melt downs to the point where I have screamed to Heavenly Father asking for answers and why he won't help me to understand things. I want to be a mom that shows my children respect, love, happiness, cleanliness, modesty, etc, and most importantly being kind always. Yes I have dreams of being a mom and one day, I hope soon that will happen and that I can one day soon share all the love I have been waiting to share to my kids.
{ "Be in the world, but not of the world" } we are all beautiful and incredible in our own ways! Let's remember to be kind, loving, and serving, and all good things will come to use in time! Be the example and the light, for the world needs more of it!
This is something I have realized each day lately, something I want to always do in life is
"BE THE EXAMPLE AND THE LIGHT" for yes the world needs more of it!!
Life can be hard at times but trying to be something that your not just to fit in with others doesn't get you in the highest places, why not be yourself, being yourself is the most beautiful thing ever! realizing when you are not being honest with yourself and your heart can be hard to admit and realizing that you as a person need to be better and be what you really are and what you were taught and raised.
Where am I going with all this? I think to myself when I was little to now and I think back how I used to dream of what kind of wife, mom and person I always wanted to be, I always looked up to the most amazing women in my life...My mom, Grandma Alder, and Grandma Vaughan if anyone knows these three you would know exactly what I am talking about. I always wanted to be a good wife, and a good mom, and the best cooker I could be just like those three ladies in my life, but most of all I wanted to be the most loving person, caring, and always thinking of others first, not myself, just like my mother, and grandmother's. I have always wanted to just be a good person someone who my children can look up to and want to be just like me, just like I looked up to my mother, and grandmother's. As a daily reminder I think to myself "Always Stay Humble and Kind" that being said in every sitiuation you are in, in this world try to always be better, be a better person, be someone that your kids will always want to look up to and be. I drove through a drive through the other day, the girl at the window seemed really upset, down, or something was going on...after shoving my drinks out the window to me and my food not saying anything to me I smiled and said "thank you, have a good rest of the day" she turned to me and smiled and said "thank you" the smallest things, or words might just help ones day be better if you just tried a little harder to be better and not always think of yourself or your needs. I know when Trev and I have children my biggest priority will be my children, there needs will be on the top of my list and I will do everything in my power to be the best I can be as a mom and wife.
Friends, I know this blog probably sounds all over the place, my mind is kind of all over the place lately, I have had a lot on my mind, I have been down and I have been up but in my heart I have always known who I am as a person, who I belong too, what I deserve, how to love, how to show kindness, and especially when I am not myself and I am on meds- I know who I am and I know when my body isn't right! or doesn't feel right!, and most of all, always just being myself!! Never trying to be someone I am not! I came from an amazing family with parents that have raised me to be the best I can be exactly how I want my kids to be raised "the best they can be! and always being thereselves not someone else to fit in" so thankful for my loving husband, and family! lets be better in the world and always be humble and kind! think of others first, and enjoy life to its fullest even in the struggles and hard times...there is always a way in life even when it gets rough!
Thanks for reading, sorry if this is all over the place!
