Heart Therapy (3)

I have been trying not to do a link up everyday but this one is so good I can't not do it.  You can link up with Ashley for "Heart Therapy"

Today is all about hopes and dreams.  What we want to accomplish in life and what it is inside of yourself that you just want to get out?

I have a lot of hopes and dreams.  I think everyone does.  I have the general and cliche (but mean it from the bottom of my heart): be happy, fulfilled, raise healthy and good children.  And then the more personal ones.  I have dreams of traveling all 50 states, touring Europe, finding a career I love and get paid for.  

Then I have a few more personal hopes and dreams.  I want to write a book.  It would be somewhat of a memoir of my younger years.  I know to some that it might not seem interesting but I have a lot of stories that need to be shared.  Also my dream is just to be ok with who I am.  Not worry about what other people think.  I have struggled with that all my life and now I am in my late twenties.   I just want to comfortable with myself.  Not feel like I am always the outcast and uncomfortable.  The last few weeks I have just been down.  I have been having problems with my best friend and money troubles.  I'm sure some of you can relate - just feeling "off".  I want to get out of this funk and feel better.  I am trying so hard though.  I am just trying to tell myself "one day at a time".

Today the prompt is to make a list of all the things you can think of that you are thankful for.

While I'm sure I will miss a few things here is my list.

I AM THANKFUL FOR:

- A husband who loves me

- A child who makes me laugh all the time

- Dogs who get annoying but protect us

- Having a house to live in

- Having parents that I can talk to about anything

- Good books to read

- Fall and the sweatshirt weather

- New blog friends and followers

- My husband who folded all the laundry this week :)

- Family who supports me and loves me for who I am

- A healthy family

Heart Therapy

Today I am partaking in Heart Therapy from Ashley at Eisy Morgan.  Here is her explanation...

"Welcome to

Heart Therapy:

Where we share what we are walking through.

{Like group bloggy therapy}

I will give a writing prompt that you can spin off of, or just share something you have been feeling or thinking about, or something you are learning or going through. Time to do something that will help your heart. Something I believe we neglect all too often."

I wanted to take part in this because of some things I have been dealing with in my life recently.  I actually just ended real therapy because my therapist took another job, so I am having a hard time with that.  So I saw this "Heart Therapy" from Ashley and I thought I would give it a go.  This week I am going to take part in her writing prompt, but in the future I plan on talking about what is going on with me.  Since there is nothing to be ashamed of.

"Today the idea is to think of yourself old, at the end of your life, and what advice you will give yourself now with what you are going through, looking back."


Miranda:  
I know it seems like this feeling or these problems are never going to end, but they do.  Life gets better, more enjoyable, more clarity.  You of course will still need support of friends and family but you will become more independent.  You need to stop worrying so much and stop letting your brain run a mile a minute.  I know it seems like life is so complicated and there is just too much but it is actually quite simple.  Family, Friends, Love.  If you can start remembering just the few things that actually matter, your outlook will greatly improve.  Everyone is flawed, everyone makes mistakes, but that makes you you.
Love, Me
