Anxiety through the roof
One thing will trigger me
Eyes fill up with tears
Heart slightly breaks
I just want to scream
But I'm trying to hold it together
And slowly put the puzzle pieces back in order

I’m usually one to be carefree
But I’m stressed out over here
Shaking like leaves on a tree
Deep breaths in and out
One
            Two
                         Three

Ok
That’s better
I’m now back to being
Carefree...

Anxiety and stress are real
Just take a deep breath
Let go of what you feel

In the end  
We all deal with things
Just remember to breath and just
Let it go....

April 2nd
Snow is falling and covered the ground
You’ve got to be kidding me?
Insert eye roll here....

A shooting star
Lights up the sky
I make a wish
As I close my eyes
Was it a sign
Of good things to come
Or maybe a wink from a loved one
High up above

Either way
I feel blessed to see
Something so wonderful
That not many people have seen

There is a storm brewing in my head
In my heart
In my soul

The wall is caving in
Crumbling down
Soon it will fall

Being vulnerable
Oh so quite and meek
May stir the storm
Or cause it to become weak

Weakness isn’t a bad thing
It makes you stronger
The calm before the storm
May be brewing for just a little longer

The other day I posted “Today’s Challenge “
Be the cause to brighten someone’s day...
Little did I know I would be the cause to shed light for someone that day...

A couple came to my restaurant to enjoy some lunch
But to our surprise it was more then just a meal
We all got to talking, it was their first time here
Their son was in ICU at the hospital down the street
Immediately we recognized who they were taking about
Their son and his fiancé were in a motorcycle accident
Unfortunately, she did not survive
He was flown to the hospital, he was more then just broken inside

His parents told us that all he wanted after his 4th surgery so far
That all he wanted was a burger from Red Robin but it was too far
So we decided we would make one for him here
As close to the burger he wanted from Red Robin

I said to our waitress  
“I would like to pay for their meal”
She responded “I would like to as well”
So my husband, the waitress and I
Chipped in together and pay for their entire meal

When Kim (the waitress) had gone out to their table and told them they were good to go
In such disbelief the woman said “that’s not necessary, no”
We insisted we would pay for them, it’s the least we could do
They couple broke down crying and were so grateful to us ( more then we knew)

The next day, the woman came back to get another burger for his son
She explained to us that he absolutely loved his food
Saying “it was the best **** burger he has ever had”
Even though it’s not on our menu
We made it for you
We have now dubbed it the “Jason Burger” just for you!

Even though it wasn’t much
We felt we did good
Bringing light to someone’s day
Even if it was in a little way
          

         Challenge accepted
             Challenge accomplished

Please keep Jason and his family in your prayers
His body is literally broken and so is his heart
When I wrote that challenge that morning
I didn’t know my closest friends and I would the ones to find light in a dark place and bring joy to their hearts

Baby steps is all it takes
To make you become aware
Of some of your faults and mistakes
Look further into the bigger picture
Like a flashlight glowing it’s rays
The smaller the focus, the less likely of seeing the bigger picture and understanding
But
When you zoom out the light and capture more of the beauty
You will be more inclined to more of what you were actually missing...

You always think it’s a gloomy day
When the sun hides behind the clouds
Not shining it’s rays of light upon us

Ever stop and think
Beauty is just as beautiful
Even when it’s hidden in the background
Not in the spotlight for all to see

Look beyond the bigger picture
You will see more then expected
When you look outside the box
Seeing the beauty from afar
