Alright, so we've hit another rocky patch. I've come to another windy, scary, who knows where the hell it'll take me road and I feel like the true essence of why I began a gratitude journal shines through last night's happenings. Because nothing is official yet and decisions haven't been made yet, I have to be very murky about details...just know that things have gotten more...uh...interesting in the DC-Petworth home. Last night I got to speak with many people...including: Alie (a God send), my parents (always blessings), Kelsey Harrington (my first love) and Karitza (from my year in the BPT last year). All were encouraging and helpful; and all were so incredibly needed to push me through the crapiness of last night.
So for Tuesday, August 30th, 2011 I am grateful for: my family and friends support through last night and into this week. especially for Karitza for sending me the most motivating text messages ever...
1) "Keep being Katie-strong willed, kind hearted and sure of herself Katie!! You can move mountains."
2) "Reason, Season or Lifetime: People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant." -Unknown
The encouragement and love she specifically showed me last night has made it easier for me to get through this crappy lull in my life. I am searching for meaning, searching for passion, searching for the feeling of broken-ness I had last year and Karitza's words have helped me look inward and look to myself to find where my passions lie. The universe keeps laying it on thick but as Karitza's last text told me, "God doesn't give you more than you can handle."
