The Kids

Because I am not married, nor do I have kids, I thought that I would share a very important part of my life. A part of my life that no matter what always brings joy to my heart.

There are seven little people in my life that, somehow, even on the worst days can cheer me up. Having had the chance to spend time with all of them recently, I have really come to realize how special they are to me, and what a blessing each one of my nieces and nephews are. I guess you could say they are my pride and joy, since I don't have any kids of my own. They're all such great kids and have cute, loving personalities. Nothing beats the running hugs, the kisses, the 'I love yous', and even the 'I don't wike yous' when they are upset lol. Because it just makes you laugh more than anything.

I love those kids with all that I have. Each one of them holds a special place in my heart, I don't know what I would do without them. Thank you for being a part of my life, and always putting a smile on my face. I love you!

I have been thinking a lot, lately, about the kind of person I am and the kind of person I want to be. In my own personal opinion I consider myself to be a pretty nice, funny, sweet, caring, loving, and all around good person. However, I realize that sometimes I'm not always that way, and there are things that I really need to work on.

So during the past week, this has been on my mind more and more. I have been trying to think of ways to better my life, and myself as a person. So of course I thought of a few things, and I as I was reading my book "A Single Voice" last night I decided that I should probably really try to work on all the things that I had come up with. For example being a little nicer to everyone and controlling the mean thoughts that go through my head about people that irritate me, just to name a few. All simple things, yes?

Today, I get to work and find that although I am trying to keep mean thoughts about irritating people out of my head, its NOT so easy and it is going to take work. Making those changes in your life, however simple they may seem, is not always easy. I am human and I make mistakes. I have a lot to work on to better myself, but I am determined. I have some small changes and some big changes to make, to reach this goal that I have set, and it will take time but I know in the long run that it will be so worth it.

Lately especially this seems to be an important thing for me to do. With so many controversial things going on in the world, it is important that we all learn to be accepting of others no matter how annoying they may be or maybe if you disagree about their views on life.

So...... Wish me luck :)
