BE - who you are!

isn't it aggravating when you know people whether in your life now or in the past and they do everything that others tell them, that they truly are not who they are. You know that person who lives a life that is truly not authentic to who they are. They do everything what everyone else says but doesn't do what their heart tells them to do, what they believe in. I know people influence us and our decisions, I know are family and friends help us become who we are, and most of the time they are there to help us to become the "best us" - you know. They help us and guide us and love us and support us.

When people are living a big lie - how happy do you think they really truly are? Do you think they could be happy not living true to themselves, do you think they are happy enforcing decisions that others have made, why is it so hard for us to live who we are, who we are suppose to be. All of us at one time or another do whatever we can to make others happy, we worry too much about what others think of us, worry too much about having that "perfect life" - here is a secret, life isn't perfect, nothing is. So why do we try so hard to be perfect! Instead of striving to be perfect can't we strive to live the life we are suppose to be living, can't we strive to live the life that God has planned for us.

Be who you are!

Another great busy weekend. We had the Timmerding Christmas party this weekend - it was so much fun and so crowded. It seems like it doubles in size every year. I didn't get to talk to many which is sad but I was so happy to see everyone there. It is almost like we should set up speed dating tables to where we have to talk to everyone even if it is only for 5 minutes :)

Christmas is coming soon - the excitement is in the air, the songs are being sung, the moods are lifting, the stress is there, the cookies are being baked, and pies are being eaten. The weight is coming on instead of off and the colds are in the air. But let us not forget what this season is truly about and what we are really celebrating!!!!!

I hope everyone is doing well and is ready for this nice warm up coming this week - woo hoo!!! But I hope this means we will still have a White Christmas!!!!

Happy Tuesday!

Miss and love you dad ~ so much.

Much love to all,
