The Little Things

Lately, I have been feeling overwhelmed (to say the least). The combination of my rapidly approaching wedding (9 more days!!!) and finals have made me feel like I may have pushed my self to the limit.
So as I was sitting around having a pity party for myself - I read this little quote while browsing one of my new favorite things: Pinterest!

So simple, but so true!
At that moment I realized that all of this "stress" I have been experiencing has came from two of the greatest blessing of my life. Instead of complaining, I should be thankful!!
Nursing school was never a part of my life plan - but you know what they say, we make plans and then God laughs. He had a plan for me from the beginning, and I am so very happy with where my life has lead me. I have made some of the greatest friends anyone could ask for, and have loved every moment of living in Charleston. I occasionally get so focused on the academic aspect of school that I entirely forget about the sweet patients that I am helping every day - something that brings so much joy to my heart.
Also, marrying Lee will be the greatest day of my life. He is more than amazing and I feel blessed just knowing that he and I will share a life together. Our relationship is my rock. I can not wait to say "I do" :)

My new goal for myself is to try and focus on the little things that make the big, stressful, overwhelming stuff worth it all.
Every day is full of blessings - we just have to make sure we stop long enough to see them.
