Sometimes life can present some pretty crazy times, with family, friends, love relationships, etc. This past weekend was pretty eventful, to say the least, when it came to the most recent relationship I was in. I have learned when it comes to dating, or any other relationship, you need to constantly reflect on who you are, what you want, and where you see everything going. I've learned to listen to my gut instinct a lot, and to reach out to the people who are close to my heart.
Besides chatting a lot with my best friend, (Dawn, of course), I also think a lot about the strongest woman I knew of growing up: my Grandma. She was one tough lady, who went for what she believed in. A lot of times, we'd call her the glue of the family, because she always kept things together. We also called her the Queen Mother, because she handled every situation with grace. I keep this card that she gave me on my refrigerator. Before I had a place of my own, I would keep the card in a box or stuck away in a drawer. Whenever I found myself in a tough situation, it would always amaze me, because I would accidentally come across it. It was like she actually knew that I was having a tough time.
More surprisingly, my grandma gave me this card just a couple weeks before she passed away. I'm so glad that I held onto it so I could treasure it forever. Keeping it on my fridge reminds me that I have a support system here on Earth, and up above, too. Today, I'm thankful for everyone in my life who supports me and loves me. I couldn't navigate through this life without any of you, walking along side me, or flying up above me in heaven.
