Thinking........

I'm sitting here looking at the clock to see that it's 10:35pm, and trying to convince myself that I really should go to bed. Shawna gets up at 8am no matter what & I know this. Yet I continue to sit here.......thinking.........yes, dangerous, I know!!

Thinking about what my life has become. A lot has changed over just the last 6 months. Some good, some bad. Some things I wish I could change. Some things I'm realizing need to stay the way they are. But all happening for a reason.

Before starting this blog I posted something on FaceBook that read:

You are not accidental.
The world needs you.
Without you, something will
be missing in existence and
nobody can replace it.

And it got me to thinking.......how many people out there feel that their life was an accident?? How many people feel that no one cares of about them? Honestly......I've felt both those things myself, and until this point I don't imagine anyone knew that. Which also makes me wonder, does anyone even care that I've felt that way? Then I make myself stop, and think......yes! There are people who care about me & love me & need me. No I wasn't accidental. God has his plan for me. I may not know what it is, but that's ok. BUT, there are so many others out there who are thinking, and feeling the same way! It could be the person you live with. The person you work with. The person you passed in the grocery store, or on the street. Or the person you just see on occasion. Do they look ok on the outside? Sure!! That doesn't mean their not fighting a battle on the inside.

So once in a while, take the time to tell someone they matter. Let them know how much they mean to you, and that your life wouldn't be the same with out them. Again, maybe it needs to be the person you live with, work with or the random person who you see on occasion. 
We all get so busy in our day to day lives that we tend to forget about the people around us. That they matter, but maybe, they don't realize that they matter. To you, or to anyone.

We all feel alone at times. So the next time you feel alone, take that very moment to realize, and remember that someone else, somewhere, feels alone too.
