I am so bad at sticking to things. I said I want to write in my blog at least 3 times a week... and I did good.... for like 2-3 weeks.... then I slacked off. I am really good at doing somethings and sticking to it. I am doing great at sticking to school... and I do great at sticking with relationships. But there are somethings I am no good sticking to... Like diets.... and apparently blogging. haha I get busy and I prioritize. Having priorities is a good thing but I really like to write and then post it on the Internet... So I am going to stick to it.
Lets see what all has happened in the past month... Well... A LOT!!!!
I started school. Its going good and I am very proud of myself. Carlos' niece no longer lives with us... and that is about it. I feel really busy because between school, work, and the desperate need I have to get a life... I am all out of time.
So, again... I am going to try harder and work more to keep this blog up.... Hold me to it people. I need to do this! :o)

You dont have any Talent!!!!
Sometimes when you look back at the people you went to high school with, you see all the different things they have accomplished. You see all the talent that they have and you start to wonder "What's my talent? What can I do?"
Everyone has a different talent. Some people are musically inclined, some people its smarts, some people its their athletic ability. Everyone has a talent... so what's mine?
I hear my husband and my close friends and family tell me that I'm a great person, that I'm loving, things like that. But is that a talent? Is that not just my personality?
I think I need to take the person God has made me into, and show the world that I am talented too. I have an imagination, I'm not stupid, I believe I can do things. The thing I lack is drive. I know everyone has a talent be it one thing or another. The difference in me and someone famous, rich, and well known is the drive. Its the dedication to make yourself known. I don't want to be famous or a movie star or anything like that, however I do know I want to be PROUD of who I am.
I know a lot of times I don't see the good in me. I don't see the talent and gifts I've been given. I also know there are a lot of people out there who also don't see themselves in that light.
What can we do to change that? Changing your views on yourself is such a hard thing to do.
The first and simplest thing I am trying to do, is when I get a complement I will say "Thank you." Most of the time when I get a complement, I start talking about someone else, or I'll say "Oh, OK your crazy." When my husband tells me I'm beautiful most of the time I tell him, "Don't go get your eyes checked, I know you'll end up leaving me." I always say it in a fun joking way, but if I didn't believe what I was telling him then why would I always say it?!?!?
Today, I will start to make a conscience effort to say "Thank you" when I get complemented. I will make an effort to see what it is that others see in me that way I can believe in my "talents" and show the world how gifted I am.

Do you have trust issues???
I know I sure as hell do... I have trouble trusting anyone. I have found that people even though they don’t always mean to; people let you down. People break your heart... people walk all over you.
I tell our niece Saraya, that she has to learn not to put people up on a pedestal. Because when we do that they are on a "god" level and they aren't God. They are human they will let us down, they will brake promises, and they will hurt us. Most of the time people don’t hurt others on purpose but it still happens.
Someone promises to take you somewhere or do something with you and then they don’t. They forget, something comes up, or maybe they just don’t want to do it anymore. Some people promise they will never hurt you.... that’s the worse one you can do to someone... you make a promise you know without a doubt that someday you will break. Someday you will mess up how you word something and tear someone down... or maybe your just having an off day and you cancel plans on someone who has had their heart set on one thing or another and now they are let down.
People always let you down... That is one of the hardest lessons in life.
I wish people didn’t let each other down I wish we could all keep our word but we cant... how can we control everything out there... We are just mere humans... We don’t control the tides of the sea or the wind blowing the trees... we are just here. We do the best that we can with what we have; our resources and our time.
Even though we aren’t perfect and we are going to hurt each other one way or another it doesn’t mean that we don’t try to improve. It doesn’t mean we have an excuse to treat each other like scum. Out of respect for each of the people we come into contact with we need to try to make things right... keep promises, watch how we talk to people and try to keep our word.
I know if everyone did that our trust issues would be so much smaller... but with no effort on peoples fault we have a HUGE problem trusting any and everyone.
