I’m not only surviving, I’m thriving.  A few months ago, my best friend decided she didn’t want me in her life anymore.  I was hurt but now I look back on it and I’m not sad anymore.  I look at it as a blessing in disguise.  I still love her like a sister.  I might not have done all the things that I’ve done if that had not happened.  I still have 2 wonderful best friends.  I have so many new people in my life now.  My life has never felt so fulfilling or rewarding!  My strength lies in being myself.  I have people in my life now that see my worth and help me also see my worth.  I have grown so much in the past few months.  A few months ago, I was only imagining that I would go para-sailing, become a travel nurse, go on a hot air balloon ride, and going on a tour into the swamp.  Now that’s just what I done.  I’m learning to turn the negative into a positive.  If I go up to someone and try to start a conversation and they walk away.  That has nothing to do with me.  I’m still a great person even if they didn’t want to talk to me.  I’ve also learned that even when I make a mistake, God will take care of me.  If I had not extended my contract in Florida then I would not have had the lizards come into my condo.  I was a little hesitant to extend my contract at first but I did it anyway.  The day that I was supposed to move out, is the day that the first lizard came into my condo.  I would have missed out on the lessons that the lizards taught me.  I looked up what a lizard crossing your path means and I got a lesson.  The website said that a lizard means to slow down and not be in a hurry to get somewhere.  I was hoping that I would bump into my future husband since his house was only about an hour from me.  I need to stop rushing and take my time.  “All new things are born in your dreams.” -Unknown.  I recently turned down a travel job in Florida.  Right now I want to go to Hawaii.  I feel pulled to Hawaii right now.  Every thing is going to work out how ever it is meant to.  I had a dream last night that I got a travel job in Hawaii.  My job is coming, I just have to wait on it.  I love this new feeling that I have.  Surviving and thriving at the same time!!!
