making lemonade skip to main skip to sidebar making lemonade thursday october 28 2010 dreams i woke up thinking about the importance of dreams this morning good dreams give us hope they allow us to believe that things can be different that life can be better than it is that our realities can change and our goals can truly be met i ve always lived in the city or a suburb of a city and while i ve always been grateful for the convenience of it i know that deep down inside i m a small town girl at heart i ve always dreamed from the time i was a little girl of living in a small town where people actually know their neighbors i dream of marrying a good man that works hard plays even harder and loves me with everything he s got we don t need to be rich just have enough to get by and a little extra to introduce our children to the outside world with but always always have a home to come back too i dream of putting down roots like a mighty oak tree strong and sturdy with an inner strength that reaches every limb and branch and all of those beautiful leaves on the outside that bring joy in the jumpin in em in the fall and shade in the hot summer of stay in one place long enough to let that tree grow tall and thick with years long enough to leave a legacy to become a landmark in the community i want to raise my children on simple honest values and teach them the joy of the little things that life has to offer i ve dreamt of all of those things for so long i sometimes wonder if it will ever really happen but i m not one of those people that stands on the sidelines of life for long i was never meant to a leaf lost and scattered by the wind blowing from one place to another getting ragged and torn i m the acorn that gets planted in the clay of the earth that flourishes and grows despite the harsh realities of the world around them that s my dream my hope my wish for this life it may not seem like much to most people but to me it s everything and i m willing to do what s needed to make it happen to become that person to have that life i know it will take hard work and determination but to me there s joy in the making i just want to make sure that when i m old i can look back on this life and see that tree tall and proud branchs gently swaying in the breeze and leaves that rustle in a soft song that somehow becomes a part of you when you take the time to listen

saw this statement and it s just kind of staid with me grow where you are planted if ever heavenly father was trying to tell me something at the time i believe it was with that statement i have not been able to get it out of my mind i d been wondering for awhile now why i he sent me to utah while it s not a specific answer i do know what he wants me to do he wants me to grow in az i d gotten into a rut and i was just so comfortable with my life that it made it so difficult to get out of my comfort zone and change or try anything new i needed a change and if anything could do that moving to a new state did there is still so much to learn and so many things to do but i feel like i m finally moving forward again instead of just stagnating it is my hope that as i press forward that i will be able to blossom and grow into the flower of a woman heavenly father knows and wants me to be and to be honest that i want to become as well so here s to being transplanted make sure to water with care and get plenty of sunlight and keep growing no matter where you are posted by always annie at 1 06 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest monday may 24 2010 i m a utard now a couple months ago i had one of those moments when heavenly father hits you over the head and says you need to do this in this case it was moving to utah now i ve always known that arizona was just a stopping place somehow i just got stuck there and most of the time i felt trapped but if i had to move somewhere utah would not have been my first choice not even my second or third utah is gorgeous and i love my family but i ve always felt it was a nice place to visit but i didn t want to live there i always imagined when i moved from az that i d go someplace like the wide open spaces of kansas or by the ocean off the coast of oregon or the mountains of montana but somehow moving to utah just felt right like it was what i was meant to do all along of course the timing was all wrong i had a great job i d been at for 5 years and i enjoyed the people i worked with i was still in debt from surgery i had last year and living paycheck to paycheck just to keep my head above water while i wouldn t miss the heat or the sun i would miss those that i d grown to know and love over the years but i found that once i turned everything over to heavenly father and basically said if this is what you want me to do provide a way well he definitely did within a week of my epiphany i got laid off with a severance package that covered the balance of my lease and paid for the moving truck cashing out my 401k provided the funds to get out of debt and unemployment has provided the cash flow to put me in the black and gives me the opportunity to take the time i need to find a job i can enjoy with facebook cell phones and e mail i wouldn t feel quite so lonely for my friends besides everyone seems to know someone who lives in utah and i was just one more reason for them to visit so now i m in utah staying with my grandparents until i find work and a place to live today grandpa dallas took me to the arctic circle for super heaven is arctic circle s fry sauce going anywhere with grandpa is an adventure the man knows everyone and everyone seems to know him he always has something nice to say and there is always always a story to tell we walked into arctic circle and he knew every body s name and something about their lives the girl behind the counter has a little girl that s living with her and whose parents live in vegas the guy that was washing down the tables was going to school and his mom was a neat lady people stopped by to say hi and they brought us free ice cream i can honestly say it s the most fun i ve had in a fast food restaurant since high school coming to utah has not been the easiest choice nor has it been without trial but going out with grandpa dallas today made me realise that i was missing things i hadn t even known i was missing like arctic circle s fry sauce a welcoming smile by someone that knows your name family and friends to laugh with and most importantly it felt like coming home posted by always annie at 8 24 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday august 23 2009 making lemonade the other day while talking with a friend he very sweetly told me simply to make lemonade admittedly i had been feeling a little sorry for myself and bemoaning all of the stresses that life has thrown at me as i thought about it i realised that i had been given lemons and instead of making lemonade i was pealing them sticking them in my mouth and getting that puckered pinched look you get when you eat something sour in pondering this thought i was reminded of the scripture adam fell that man might been and men are that they might have joy if that s true and i believe it is then why all the lemons as i ve considered that this week i recalled a quote from helen keller character cannot be developed in ease and quiet only through experience of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened ambition inspired and success achieved if we never had trials we would not be able to understand and appreciate the joys life has to offer us so one lemon at a time i m squeezing lemons and when i get enough i ll add some sugar which i think we get with every lesson learned and each challenge overcome some day i ll get to take a sip of the lemonade and have a little taste of the joy that life has brought when things are tough and you feel like you are being pelted by lemons grab a catchers mitt and start squeezing reminding yourself simply to just make lemonade posted by always annie at 6 03 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x
