My life is too busy for my own good. Even as I'm sitting here writing this, I have realized that my to-do list, even though it has significantly decreased, still has a LOT left on it.
When I started this blog I totally fore saw this as a problem, this whole, being too busy thing, so I have a feeling that this will not be the last time that I write more than one days worth of a post in a sitting, as it has not been my first. I will try, but sometimes life just gets in the way. As I am typing right now, I am mentally writing more and more things onto my to-do list! ugh. I think this post is going to be a little scattered, so I'll be sure to NUMBER my diane challenges from the past five days so that you can keep them in order! :)
I have thought about this though. When I graduate, I need to find a new hobby to stay involved! Any ideas? Maybe a philanthropy? Or a kid? ha. just kidding. My boyfriend thinks I should take up knitting to make him a hat. HA. Even if I could knit I probably wouldn't knit him a hat.... so mom, if you read this, David would like a hat.
Today was initiation. I LOVE initiation. There is nothing that makes me prouder than to lead this group of women, and to be the President for their initiation. There is NOTHING better than going through a ritual, one created 136 years ago, that every single other member has gone through. It's such an outstanding connection. I LOVE these girls.
However, initiation tonight posed something that I should just expect in any big event I am ever in charge of, or a part of. A CRISIS situation. It happens every time any big event is going on. yikes. One of our darling initiated members had seizure before our initiation began. for 15 minutes... ahhh. It was like nothing I have ever dealt with before. I am just so thankful that I have learned to stay calm and deal with these situations, and I have these girls around that can do the same. Needless to say everything is great now, and she is feeling much better. But I am 1) thankful that through everything in my life I have gained the ability to deal with these types of situations when they arise, and stress about them after. Even when Jamie and I set the oven on fire in Kid's Club we were pretty ok until after the flame went out.
So, the last couple of days I obviously haven't been writing. Even as I sit here tonight, I am distracted and finding it hard to collect my thoughts. Maybe because I am watching Sex and the City with Nicole and Victoria. I mean, could their lives be any more glamorous. The walk in closet. The wedding dresses. The shoes. THE JEWELRY. And the fabulous Manolo Blahnik shoes that are "carrie's ring" I can only hope that my ladies from college will be my sex and the city ladies. This makes me realize how thankful I am 2) For my J baby and my little. These two girls are always there for me. They will be the ones in my wedding. The ones who help me pack my life out of a small apartment when I finally get married, and show up with a two bottles of wine. YAY! These girls help me through SO much and I would be incredibly lost without them. So for you two, thank you for all that you do an for all that you have taught me and done for me. I love you!
3. I am thankful for being able to say I know what love is. I have felt love from my friends. I have felt love from my sisters and from my family. I have felt love from my boyfriend. I know what it feels like to love someone that you would die for. And to be absolutely in love with someone. So people go through their entire life without love, and I think that love is really the only thing worth living for. The Beatles were right when they said, "All you need is love, love is all you need." I don't think there is any better feeling than being in love, and there is nothing worth fighting for more than love. And even if you're not in love, finding it is amazing too.
4. I am thankful I have gained so much experience with leadership roles through my years at school. I have the privilege to lead these beautiful girls, and so many other organizations. I have grown so much as a person and have acquired a lot of professional skills. So really, I am thankful for the people that have taken a chance on me. The ones that have put their confidence in me as a leader and as a person. As much as you may say you look up to me, I admire those who instill their faith in me. Thank you.
In watching Sex in the City, we're at the part where Big doesn't know if he can marry Carrie. He calls her over and over and over again and she doesn't answer and all we can think about is WHY DOESN'T HE CALL ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS. In real life, that would probably happen. DUMB guy. Of course, then we wouldn't have the movie, and we wouldn't learn all of the lessons about true love, about respecting your significant other and how to deal with the hard parts of love. BUT oh my god. CALL SOMEONE ELSE. you can't just leave someone at the alter. And then he says "what the f*** am I doing" yeah, NO KIDDING. ugh.
Anyways...
5. I am thankful that with love, I have had heartache. I have had challenges, and pain and difficult times. I have learned to move on.To hold my head high, and I have people around me that will always be there for me no matter what. Always look at the positive side of things. No matter how bad things seem right now, they can probably get worse, but they will get better. I am thankful that the challenges I have faced have built me into that person.
I promise I will try to be a little bit better about writing from now on! :)
Bon nuit.
