The Art of Maintaining a Friendship: A Work in Progress

I am sure you are all aware there are 24 hours in a day. If you take out the eight hours you sleep, that is 16. If you take out the average 8 hours for school/homework/studying or perhaps work that is 8 hours a day. Take out an additional two hours for a cumulative of personal hygiene whether it is going to the restroom, getting ready for your day, or ending your day. That is 6 hours. 6 hours to take care of everything else. One thing that fills probably 5 out of that 6 hours for me is trying to maintain my relationships with friends and family. I try to talk to my nieces and nephews every day, and I am in constant communication with my family. You gotta love Facebook group messages. But it's hard work, and I wanted to take this moment to apologize for a couple things.

I am sorry I don't call as often as I do. 

I am sorry if I repeat myself at times I get so excited sometimes about the things that happen that I want to make sure you get to hear about. 

I am sorry for the short conversations squeezed in between classes. 

I am sorry sometimes I go days between are conversations and then drop on emotional bomb on you. 

I am sorry for the late night texts, then I usually fall asleep in the middle of our conversation.  

I just want you all to know I am trying, life is crazy, and I want to spend hours talking to you. Someday soon we will. 

You are important to me.
Being busy isn't an excuse, for not making time for the people you care about. I know this, and I am working on bettering myself. I am not perfect, and I just want to be there for my amazing support system like they are there for me. It is definitely a work and progress.

It's mothers day

There are so many people I want to recognize today, and am gonna try and include as many of you as I can. However if I forget you I am sorry, know these words are for you. Even if you aren't mentioned or pictured.
I may not be a mom myself, but for as long as I can remember there have been women in my life teaching what it means to be a mother. Some of those things I've been taught are the following:

• Love
• Courage
• Strength 
• Never giving up
• Fight for important things
• Protecting your family
• Protecting your beliefs
• How to balance life
• To have a testimony
• To find the hope
• To love literature 
• The importance of education 

I am so grateful for the love, and comfort that these women have given to me. The countless prayers, and good thoughts sent my way. You are all wonderful, and so loved. Not just by me but those around you. Be strong, and continue to love. Know that you have blessed me beyond belief.
You are also strong and noble women, and God is smiling on you. 

This is just a small list. Some people that won't be pictured I want to list here

• Laura
• Georgie
• Janille 
• Meryni
