Well, it has been a minute. A lot has happened. A lot has changed. A lot has stayed exactly the same, and for that I am so thankful.
I have been thinking a lot lately about all of the crazy things that happen in this life, and while I am all about change and mixing things up, I will forever be grateful for the things that simply stay the same. There is nothing like a morning wake up call from my daddy, or a "Gnly" (Good night, love you) text before bed from my momma. "Lovins" from my sweet baby cousin, bye kisses from my grandma and great grandma and head rubs for my papa. Even the 2 a.m. phone calls from my baby brother (who just turned 21!!!) to come and unlock the door are always welcomed.
These are things that I take for granted. These things will not always be here, but right now, while they are, I will enjoy them. I will kiss on my baby cousins. I will spend a little extra time with my pup even if it means I'm a little late for work. I will rub my old man buddy's head when I walk behind him at church every Sunday. I will laugh out loud when I get a stupid meme texted to me by a friend. I will then do my best to reenact whatever the meme says to then laugh at myself. And yes, I may spend a little too much money on road trips with my girls.
I want to live for me, do what makes me happy and learn to be truly happy with the constants in my life. Today that means loving on my family and friends, doing the best I can to keep my work people happy, planning a vacation or two, growing in my Jesus, and simply doing "me", whatever that may be.
