Finding Joy in The Journey

PREFACE: this blog has been a long time coming.
-----
There are times when each of us
take the wonderful things in our lives for granted.
Whether it's our relationships, the food that we take in
for nourishment, our jobs, or just simply our wonderful
life that we are living.
Then there are those who don't have any idea
what they should be grateful for and those
who absolutely refuse to be grateful for anything
because it "doesn't go with the lifestyle that they are living"
and that's okay to some extent.
I've been faced with a lot of trials over the past
few years that I am still working to overcome.
There are plenty of times when I lay in my bed
all depressed and think that these trials shouldn't happen to me.
I know that when you are going through something that
it's really hard to find joy in the journey but I want to encourage
each of my readers who are going through something to write
down at least three things that they are thankful for, it can be as simple
as the warm shower you took this morning or the delicious ham
sandwich you ate for lunch today.
Life is going to be hard sometimes but it doesn't have to stay hard.

Best,
Leslie Ann

Don't Put Yourself Through That

It's not always easy deciding to stop loving something that you've loved for so long, that you wanted forever. The first few days you are strong about and then BAM it hits you like a ton of bricks. You immediately start crying and wish that it had worked out and you don't completely understand why it didn't. You get mad and frustrated. You had all these plans made, you had all of these dreams you two were going to put into reality one day. It's hard to give up something that you loved. But deep down you know it's for the best. You've struggled for so long but you have the faith that your Heavenly Father is on your side and He will only do what is best for you. So Don't Put Yourself through the heart ache of wishing things were different because that person was put into your life for a reason, you learned a lot from those months you were together and you should be thankful for them. Remember it's not always going to be easy, but w...

2016: A Year of Learning and Thankfulness

2016. This year has definitely been a year of learning. Learning who I am and who I'm suppose to become. I've learned this year that I can do anything that I set my mind to do and that I just need possible. I'm not who I was a year ago and I've learned to be okay with that. I'm coming to terms with the fact that I'm a totally different person than I was even two years ago. I've learned that life goes on. And I've learned that things don't always go as planned. I've learned that things happen for a reason and that things happen in Heavenly Father's time, not ours. I've learned that our plans don't always go accordingly and to be grateful for every moment because we won't be able to get those moments back. This year I've also learned to be thankful. Thankful for my family, who support me, in every decision I make. Thankful for my warm home on winter nights and a cool home on those warm July days. I'm th...
