Well going off this... I didn't plan to speed and get a fairly large ticket. DID NOT plan that. I didn't plan to pour boiling water on my self. I also did not plan to have to pay SO MUCH for college and everything that comes with. I did not plan on losing 20 dollars worth of quarters for laundry ( TOTALLY NOT PLANNED) ...... Things JUST happen. And sometimes we can fix them and sometimes we simply can't. We have to find things that work and don't and just be ok with what life hands us.
This weekend has truly helped me "Coop" with life's.....lets say "Handling's" haha
For labor day weekend I went with my lovely family to Yuba lake. Beautiful place. (except for the nasty algae floating around) But the weather was great and the people I was with made everything perfect. On Sunday afternoon we all went for a boat ride. AH I absolutely LOOOOVVVVVEEE being on the LAKE. :) Here is what I was thinking.....
The hot summer day is brilliant. I feel healthy, alive and safe. All those I love are around me enjoying my happiness (Well except for my brother JOSH :( he is serving a mission! ) The sun is very hot. But as we start moving the feeling of instant relief washes over me and I can truly relax. As we continue I watch the clouds pass and I start to dream of longer summer days. All I can hear is the humming of the engine and the whooshing of the wind in my ears. "Things are ok" I tell myself. And they really are. There is no worry in my mind... Things are ok.
Boating is my kind of therapy. Something I look forward to every summer. And every time I forget my serious heart aches and breaks, my world seems to stop and I am able to feel and notice all the wonderful things I forget in my everyday busy busy life. So as my trip ended I was left with feelings of gratitude and peace. And I really needed that to be able to continue on this journey through college and through life. :)
Here is some pictures from the trip :)
