Positive attitude. Cheerful attitude.
Sometimes it is so hard to feel like having those kinds of attitudes, especially when I am feeling so crappy. This past weekend was very rough on me, both physically and emotionally. I had body aches and a fever. On top of that, I just wanted to give up. I kept telling myself that this fight is not worth it. Thankfully, I have wonderful people in my life who pray and support me. No matter how down I got, they would send a text, make a call, or leave a comment on this blog, to encourage me. Honestly, I could not be doing this without the support of all of you! Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!
It is amazing to me that just when you think that God isn't going to answer your prayers, he does. It just goes to prove that he does everything in his time, not ours. I prayed all weekend for him to take my pain and fever away. Obviously, he knew that today was the day I needed to feel good so I could go to school. Amazing!
I woke up this morning to birds singing and the sun shining! I felt much, much better. My fever and body aches were almost non-existant. I never used to think that I had an opinion when the sun wasn't shining, but now I know for sure that I do. I cannot stand it when it is cloudy! My whole attitude changes. I feel better when the sun shines. Now, I wouldn't say that I am depressed when it is cloudy, but I have a better outlook on life when the sun shines. Weird.
I know that I thank you guys a lot for reading this, your prayers, and your support. But, I truly, truly mean it. I would not be as strong as I am today without you!
Smooches!!

Ive told many a person that one of the greatest honors of a friend is to stand in the gap for someone when they cant...to believe what God says when they cant...and to give them hope when it feels so dark! xooxox
You shouldn't always try to have a positive or cheerful attitude. No one can do that all the time. You can walk into my classroom at 7:15 A.M. and say you're doing fine, but remember friends can read each other and I may know that you're fibbing to me and you feel like shi* and it's ok to say that to people. Say I feel like shi*.
But from there you will also remember how many people are on your side pulling for you because they love you and care about you.
Proof of that, Reenie was able to make her way on to this blog all by herself and leave you a message! That's love!
This fight is worth it!
Hey Sheri--I'm coming for ya!! Only 2 more days without me and then you are stuck with me. Hang in there until then. Then you can lean on me for while. I figure I owe ya about 13 weeks or so. I'm so proud of all of your positive energy. Keep it flowin'!

When I was at Mass yesterday, the priest told a story in his sermon and it went something like this. A little girl was afraid one evening and she told her Mom she didn't want to be alone. Her Mom then told her she was never alone, God was always with her. The little girl continued to cry and said she knew that but also wanted someone with skin. Many chuckled. The priest continued and said, Jesus was made flesh to share in our lives and show us the way. Our call is to follow His way and be Jesus to one another. It is in our human condition that we all have periods of time when we feel like giving up. Just as you give love and life to all of us, we too offer you love and life! There is much living to be lived and we're all in this together!
I love you Sheri,
Mary
Just know that you are always on my mind. I can only imagine what your dark days are like, because you always have a smile whenever we see each other. Hang in there, let your light continue to shine.
Love you- Jen Conyac
