So, its been a while since I've posted. And my last few posts weren't really anything of note. Mostly just to say I posted. There has been a reason for that, and its one that I'm not too anxious to share. However, I'm going to bite my lip and do it. Share, I mean.
This last month has not been a good month for me. In fact, it has been one of the worst in a very long time. And it has all been due to one word.... Failure. More specifically, the fact that I am one. Or at least that is how I have felt this past month. There are oh so many reasons I have felt like this, and they all seemed to come cascading upon me at once in an overwhelming flood of nastieness. Things just were not going the way I needed them to go and I was having to change my life plan again, for about the millionth time this year, ... well, you get the idea. Not really the point of the story. So, there I was being a grump and complaining to my sis, when she gave me some smack-you-in-the face advice. She said, "Tisha, you're being dumb. You're only a failure if you give up." (Kind of ironic since I'm pretty sure I said the same thing to her a few months back!) Great advice, but I'm pretty thick. I didn't catch on right away. Actually, it took me a little while. Like, more than a week. Not too proud of that, but what the heck. Its the way it was.
Then today, I was going through my day, feeling bad for sleeping through conference, (In my defense, I have had pnemonia this past week and am just now starting to feel human again.) when my little old brain got to thinking. It was one of those spiritual 2x4 moments. You know the kind; where the Spirit smacks you in the face with a "Umm, you should know this stuff" feeling. So, there it was right in my face, saying get off your but and get busy and be happy. So, that is what I'm going to do. Get off my but, get busy and be happy. I'm not so worried about the first two, the third one might take a little more work, but it will happen!
And since I realized I haven't posted any pictures in way too long, here are some pics of the thing that makes me happiest!!

Sorry things have been such a bummer lately! Good for you for recognizing it though and deciding to do something about it! Love ya!
I think I'm the poster child for "having" to change life plans. It's happened to me at least a million times in the last few months. But just because you have to change direction doesn't mean you've failed or you have to give up on your goals and dreams....it just means you are taking the sceanic route. It may take a little longer but it'll be worth the trip.
As for being happy, how can you not be happy when looking at that little chocolate covered cutie of yours.
Keep believing in yourself.... others believe in you. You inspire me in so many ways.
