The way in which we choose to view life usually shows what "kind" of person we are or better yet the "way" in which we deal with stresses and hard times. My silly , amazing, loving, caring, unbelievably adorable boyfriend has in this short time of knowing him made the most simple sayings resonate through my soul like you could not believe.
"Life is a Garden, Just Dig It!"
"When life gives you lemons, say *&^% the lemons and bail!"
"Is the glass half empty, or half full?"
I'm going on the record and saying that this boy, has a way of making the simplest things that I have heard a million times like, "is the glass half empty or half full" make more sense than they ever have. Why does it make so much more sense hearing this from his lips? The only reason I can think of is that I not only trust his words but feel confident that what he is saying is worth listening to. Anything that comes out of his mouth no matter how insignificant it is ..... I listen. I now understand why it is so important to surround your self with people who uplift you, inspire you, and people that you respect. Yesterday when Ryan (the man) asked me if my glass was half empty or half full, i laughed. Later that night when I was getting frustrated about my upcoming Dr's appointments, and all the crap that goes along with them the first thing that popped in my head was "half empty or half full!" He probably has no clue that because of the love I have for him and how much I respect him his simple words will stay with me forever. I don't think I have ever allowed myself to love like I am now. Its a beautiful thing to experience.
All I want to be able to do 100% of the time is be able to have the strength and courage to face this hurdle (my health) with grace and determination. I am lucky enough to have my little girl as my driving force, and my Ryan as my Oz, like the Wizard of Oz. Whenever I need those little bits of inspiration and insight I will go to Ryan to hear such things as, "When life gives you lemons, say f&*% the lemons and bail!!!!!" haha ok maybe not that one but you can see how he can put a smile on my face :)
