Diaries Of A Dream Queen

I don’t know how to start. I know it’s the Christmas season and all that but seriously! I just can’t find the perfect way too start!!! Grrr!! Can’t have a perfect start again I guess…since I started off already…*sigh* Wanted to start off with “Merry Christmas!!” in Santa’s voice but that sounds like it should be the ending of the article and not the beginning and to me it sounded pretty lame. #NotCool! Well…what can I say? It’s already the ending of 2011. Seems like yesterday it all began and it’s ending already. Time sure flies! Before you know it, 2012 will be here and gone. Well you know what they say “Time waits for no man.” I think everyone can agree to that. This year for me can best be defined as “challenging.” I’ve been through my ups and downs, highs and lows like everybody else. Sometimes you just feel like giving up. Seriously, there are times when things seem like it’s too much and you just want to take off that heavy load on your back and never look back. But guess what? Whenever something seems the most challenging, that’s when YOU SHOULD NOT GIVE UP. If you give up, you’ve failed but if you keep fighting, it makes you stronger, it makes you a winner. I believe that God allows us to go to various situations to test our faith. Sometimes you ask “Why me?” “What did I do to deserve this?” Sometimes you may say “No one knows what I’m going through.” Or “I always get the worst!” Actually, that statement is totally untrue. There are people who wish they had what we had. Whenever you feel like you can’t stand something again, just stop for a minute. Stop everything completely, and breathe. It’s okay to cry because crying can sometimes make you feel better. When you feel like you can’t go on, pray, talk to someone about it and always talk to “The man upstairs.” God will be there for you when no one else is and also remember that you should talk to God at all times and not just in your time of trouble.

Some of us also need to remember that, some of us just take, take, take, but we never give. Every year at Christmas, it is usually emphasized that “It is better to give than to receive.” Or “Sharing is caring.” Christmas is round the corner, give someone something this Christmas. A homeless person, your less fortunate neighbours. Try to give when you have. Be kind to people on your way up, because you just might need them on your way down. And hey, don’t be nice just because it’s Christmas and forget about it after the holidays. You know what? Here’s a challenge for you. Get a notepad, so that you can evaluate yourself; start on New Years Eve. In that note pad write “Things that I need to change” and “Things that will help me grow positively.” “Groups that I need to join so that I can grow positively.” “Things that I need to do to improve my grades” and so fourth. In that notepad, write down all the things you need to change and things that will help you grow. You can call it “My evaluation pad.” Or you can always give it your own name. Design the cover with stickers and stuff, make it fun! And on New Years next year If God’s willing, you will evaluate yourself to realize how much you’ve grown. I will do just the same. This is something that will assist you with self growth. Maybe you thought I would talk more about Ham and stuff and be my usual, easy going self but this weekend, that’s what came to mind. Take care! Stay Beautiful! Enjoy the holidays! Be good! Until Next year if God’s willing…Rae Anthony! “Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!” *Santa’s Voice*
