I can't believe I was ever intimidated by...

I can't believe I was ever intimidated by my cat. I was sitting on my back porch, swinging on the swing, when all of sudden I heard, "I will cut you". I turned around horrified, catching the stare from my cat who was sitting behind me sharpening her claws. She never took her eyes off of me. I then realized my cat really was going to cut me. I went back and tried to figure out what I did to her. Then, it hit me. I had been giving her dog food instead of cat food. I turned back and she wasn't there anymore. When I turned back around there was the bag of dog food, as if the cat was giving me her problem. I took the bag inside and fed it to my dog, who enjoyed every bite. From then on the cat would stare at me through the window watching me feed my dog. Her eyes staring into mine every time I fed the dog was getting to be scary. I was so petrified I would shut my eyes so the cat and I wouldn't meet eyes. Of course the food went all over the floor making a loud trickle. Then I woke up and realized I didn't even own a cat.

In January I was...

In January I was admiring super models and trying to stick to new years resolutions. I was working out five days a week, only eating celery and string cheese. I was known as an exercise freak. I knew nothing but to run. My favorite song at that time was, Come on Eillien, which had the line repeatedly "I'm going runnin'" in it. It was my theme song, and everyone knew it. My recent history in my phone was workout videos. At one time there was 147 saved videos. I thought my life was going good, until January 2nd. My grandmother made the most delicious pie on the face of the earth. It is called chocolate Eclair. I was in love. I could not stop myself. To tell you the truth, it was my drug. So, I ended up gaining 30 pounds, in one week. My knew nickname was kasEclair. It was depressing, so I just kept eating.

Life takes some funny twists and turns...

Life takes some funny twists and turns, but I have learned to just go with the flow. I have encountered many hard times in my life, and during those hard time I feel as if I can not breath or I am sufficating. When I am at that point, I have no hope that there is a point of return. Somehow, through all the hard times I learn so many ways to cope with my problems. Once I am able to breath again, I realize that God gave me those hard times to deal with things I will again face in the future. Life is rough sometimes. When you think it's all going good the "pitcher" (person in charge) may throw you a curveball. The curveball could be tragic or amazing. Whichever one I get I try my best to go with what life throws at me. Even though I would much rather prefer the amazing times of my life, I know how to cope with hard times in my life. I know that now, the hard times in life, only make me a stronger person.

Sometime I feel like a...

Sometimes I feel like a flower. The wind takes a hold of me at times and I get all caught up in a chaotic mess, but other times my life is calm, peaceful, and beautiful. The stressful times in my life, I have come to realize, teach me to hold on tight and stay strong just like the roots of a flower do. When I don't have the strength to hold on, my life is then like a pedal. A pedal falling off slowly. When the pedal reaches the ground I realize maybe I need to go in a different direction. Sometimes when you take the wrong direction it leads you deep into the ground, to a place where you are scared to be. Then out of no where, while you are deep in the ground, you sprout up and come back to life, because you have seen the mess you had and made it beautiful again. The times in my life where that has happened has made me the person I am today. I have been in messes but then with God being the roots of who I am, I become stronger in everything I do. I will always want God to be the inside of the seed so when I sprout I will stay strong and beautiful.
