So I've been all inspired recently to make positive new changes in my life. Most recently, I've started "counting my blessings." I realized how much I take the little things, which in reality are gigantic miracles, for granted. For example, sunsets, sunrises, wildflowers, and rain-showers. Each are blessings from God and I don't want to become desensitized to them. I started making a list each day and it's been awesome. However, Monday morning came along with my terrible mood. And I had no problem letting everyone know about it too. I was bitter about having company staying in my room, which caused me to move in with my sister. I was sad about leaving for the rest of the summer. All I wanted to do was spend as much time with my friends as I could before saying goodbye. I forced myself to take a nap in hopes that I would try the whole "waking up on the other side of the bed" deal again. Didn't completely work.
Moving on. I ended up going to hang out with a friend after tutoring which started to lift my spirits. However, I definitely was not ready for what awaited me upon my return home. I walked in on my first surprise birthday party, not to mention my 3rd birthday party ever. My friends knew I was sad about leaving and wanted to all be able to celebrate with me before I left. I am convinced I have the best friends in the entire world. God WOULD turn my worst day of the summer into a night I'll always remember :)
The initial surprise...
This girl. Words can't describe :)
And the rest of the night was history...
Thank you to all who helped make this happen :)
