I've expressed in my last few posts that I've been having rough days and I have begun to make changes to attempt to fix it. Leisurely reading, exercising, and taking time to reflect on what's positive in my life are the first steps.
When I was driving home Saturday morning for Easter I was just so beyond thankful and happy. Nothing puts me in a better mood than the drive from Harrisonburg to Rhoadesville, taking 33 over the mountain. That is truly a glimpse of God's work. But as I was soaking up the beauty and happiness with my sunroof open and Mac Miller's KIDS playing through my speakers, I realized that without the terrible days I had been having. There is no way I would have appreciated this amazing moment as much as I did then.
Being caught up in this stressful mess has made it extremely difficult for me to be optimistic but it just takes little moments to bring me back to realize what's really important. My Easter weekend was amazing and served almost as a theme of being grateful for the little things. I got to spend time with my family and Trevor's family, and I learned to play croquet which was extremely fun. I got to celebrate the fact that Jesus has risen and what is better than that?
Everything is not perfect, but it fills me with joy to know that I'm on the right track.
Love ya mean it,
Bailey

That's such a good way to look at things like this. Positivity can make a huge difference!
