Well hello again,
It has been a very strange week for me. And not for any specific reason either. It flew by extremely fast. Most of the time I had no idea what day it was. But once again, sunday has come, and it's my weekly blog time. Unfortunately, I have had no deep and profound thoughts this week. This is probably due to the fact that I have had no time to think. Going going going, all week.
My busy schedule this week led me to an amazing concert on Friday, however. I saw some really talented local bands and artists. Lately, local music has been the only thing that I listen to. The Moth and the Flame, Desert Noises, Timmy the Teeth, Seve vs. Evan, Parlor Hawk, Joshua James, and Lake Island have been on repeat for days. Look them up on facebook if you don't know who they are.
Thanksgiving is literally right around the corner. Just four more days. I would go as far as to say that it is my favorite holiday. I feel a special spirit on that day as I am in the company of immediate and extended family. Many people have made the entire month of November "thankful month". I respect that a lot. We are never grateful enough for the things in our lives. Family, friends, our faith, home, freedom, employment. We take so much for granted. When I stop to think about all the good things in my life, I really am overwhelmed and the bad things seem to disappear. Maybe I live just a cushy life. Or maybe it really is because my focus has always just been on the things that are wrong with my life. I think it's really time to just switch focus. We have to experience the bad to fully appreciate the good. That is a simple truth.
I am positive that times are only going to get harder for us in general. How will you confront the difficult times? Will you run from your problems or will you rise to the challenges and emerge a better person? I hope that I can be one of the people to say that I took the more noble road. However, only time will tell.
Keep your head up. Don't quit. Improve yourself. Give thanks.
Taylor.
