The world works in mysterious ways. I know that is so cliché but it's the truth. Last night, I was crying over fear that my Grandpa's death has left me with now. I love my Grandpa and it's upsetting he has died. However, the truth is that he has lived a full life and, in his final years, he was having a blast. He had two sons he loved, 6 grandchildren he loved, and was a big part of the lives of 3 of his great-grandchildren. Various people loved him. He had one wife for over 50 years. He was going to get married Sunday to another woman that sincerely loved him. He lived a full life.

What I was crying about is that I'm scared I won't get to live the full life I want. I think I have posted several times on what I want out of my life. For those that don't know it, it's simply not to be alone. I know I'm not alone because I have various friends. The alone I'm talking about is having that special love. Something like Grandpa had. Something like my parents have. I'm not asking to get married at this moment. I just want someone special to love on my own. I was crying not because I don't have that special guy right now, but because I was afraid it would never happen. At this point in my life, I want to get out of college first before I get married.

However, here's the way that life is so mysterious. My mother's friend sent her a forward. My mother passed it on to me. She sent it Monday morning. I did not get it until this morning. I thought she had sent it this morning in a way to cheer me up about last night. However, that's not the case. The weird thing is that I got it when I needed it and it did make me smile. I thought I would just post the forward to share with all.

Woman to Woman Encouragement

Someone will always be prettier. They will always be smarter. Their house will be bigger. They will drive a better car. Their children will do better in school. And their husband will fix more things around the house. So let it go, and love you and your God given circumstances.

Think about it. The prettiest woman in the world can have hell in her heart.

And the most highly favored woman on your job may be unable to have children. And the richest woman you know she's got the car, the house, the clothes might be lonely.

So, love you. Love who you are right now. Tell yourself "I am too blessed to be stressed." Be blessed ladies and pass this on to encourage another woman. "To the world you might be one person, but to one person you just might be the world". Send this to all of the wonderful strong women you know. I just did!
