I Am Like a Star

Aloha!

Another hopeful day in paradise, waking up at 7am getting ready for work and living the dream!

It was harder to wake up this morning. I don’t know what’s hitting me more, my almost life-less body or this feeling of uselessness that taunts me on a daily basis. Last night, we had dinner with two other couples. It was really fun. Just being around other people and talking, having a good time and not really worrying about “What are we doing next?” It’s been a long while since I’ve been out and about mingling with the social people of this world. I think my body misses it.

This week hasn’t given me much time to reflect on life and where I am at now and where I am going. Instead I’ve been keeping my mind busy with either un-important things like Korean Dramas or sleeping or super important things like WORK and being with Michael. Not reflecting on life definitely has its side effects. For example, this morning I had a hard time figuring out exactly what my life’s goal was and why I was living. That’s a scary thought. Then I thought to myself, Will life be like this after I get married? Will I be waking up and wondering exactly what it is I’m doing on earth and with people and Why “trying” is important?

Then I came to work and met up with co-workers. I sat down to do this blog and thought “Life isn’t that bad, Mabs”, things could definitely be a whole lot harder and life-less.

“Look at everything you have 3 wonderfully awesome sisters who are always there and totally supportive of you; then there’ll be two little nephews soon! YAY the joy of families, AND you’ll be going home this Christmas to be with your WHOLE family and to be married and sealed, for time and all eternity, to Michael (the love of my life)!”

Heavenly Father has blessed me in abundance and I am grateful. I guess this means that I need to start acting like it; start showing my gratiteeds (ha ha my word for those I am grateful for) just how grateful I am for them.

Yesterday Jozie-Lee and I were stuck on singing “I am like a star”. It’s an interesting song because the lyrics are as such:

“I am like a star shining brightly, smiling for the whole world to see. I can do and say happy things each day for I know Heavenly Father loves me!” Words and music: Patricia Kelsey Graham, b. 1940. © 1981 IRI

I just checked the lyrics online and it says to sing this song cheerfully!

Happy Day Everyone! (ha ha I just found an old pic that makes me feel happy)
