During these few weeks I have really been able to see how beautiful my life is....As I walked each morning to my classes I am given the oppertunity to have some time to my self in the peacefull quiet of the cool air. Most people will complain about having to walk to class each morning in the chilly weather but its one of my favorite times of the day. I have started getting up early in the morning to run before my classes. Mornings are so amazing to me now. I can't explain it..just being able to see the sun come up and to be able to smell the morning air (Yes it has a smell) is amazing to me. The world is waking up and for a couple of minutes you are a part of that and you are experiencing it. Mornings have become my favorite time of day and I soak in the beauty of it. My alarm go's off at 6:30, I wiggle out of bed,say my prayers and get my running gear on. I love the feeling of the cold hardwood as I tiptoe across the floor and try not to wake up my roomates. Afterwards I fill up my waterbottle and walk out into the brisk air to drive to the fitness center. These moments are so special to me because I have the time to think and start my day out right. It was in one of these moments when I realized how blessed I am to have the life I do. I have an amazing family, a loving Heavenly Father, a man that loves me with all of his heart, and a body that allows me to do the things that I do. Even though I have my disease, it doesn't feel like it. I am able to run long distances, sprint, and push myself to the limit. I am able to see Heavenly Fathers hand in my life every day and I can see the beauty all around me. There is always beauty if we look for it. And starting my days early has helped me to see that and to appreciate it throughout my day. Throughout life there are always going to be hardships and times when we wonder why we have to go through the things we do, but if we stay strong, stay positive, and do the best that we can do while trusting in Heavenly Father, we will never lose. We will always grow, always become better and always learn that we are stronger than we thought. I am so thankful for the things in my life that have pushed me to my limit, I am so greatfull for all that I have. I am so greatfull for early mornings and the magic that they bring. It is my goal that each time I wake up in the morning I will take a second and think about what I have to be greatfull for and happy about. Because there is always something to smile about it...Even dark skies are beautiful if you just take a minute and look a little deeper.
