Hooray for the Weekend!!

I live for weekends...the only reason is because that's the busiest time at work and that's where i make all my money from. sad huh? LOL
It was an interesting week for all america. All i can say is i'm happy that all the negative campaning is over, but i'm not happy that all i hear is
"OMG the world is over!!"
"We are all going to be slaves!"
"Terrorists are going to take over our country!"
It makes me sad because i feel no one has any faith anymore. Granted no i did not vote for Obama, i am interested to see what the next year...and the next four years entail for us as Americans. Is our country going to blow up? are we really going to be slaves? is the world actually over? I can't answer those questions and i do believe no one on this whole earth can. But i do know that these are the times of the last days and that things do happen for a reason and Heavenly Father still has watch over us. We are all still united as free Americans and we still need to stick by each other. It seems like a lot of people have forgotten that at this election time. I know i have great faith that whatever happens next for our country is what was meant to happen and it's all part of the plan.
I have also done a horrible job at planning my sister's wedding. it's still a long way off...but i've done absolutely nothing...UGH
I can't believe it's Thanksgiving/Christmas time already. Holy time goes by fast.
I also sort of had a wake up call this week as well with my own personal experiences. I don't know what made me realize this...but... I am the biggest people pleaser that i've ever met. Holy cow...It's like i change myself to make others happy, but what do i do to make myself happy? well the easy answer is, duh, change for other people. But what does that do for me? I have no sense of who i am, just what i need to be for other people. And that really made me sad. I know what's in my heart and what i love doing for people i love and care about...but i'm working on the road to finding where i fit in and who i really am. And to be honest it's been kind of a process because it's easy to fall back into my own ways.
Other than all this, i'm still just chugging away:) I just for once want to have a positive outlook on my life and all things i go through. To appriciate my bad times just as much as my good ones because it's both good and bad i need to learn and grow from and i can't have one without the other. Now i finally feel that i really am doing the best i can ^_^

You and me, babe... people pleasers to the max. I'm a recovering people pleaser. I've been working on learning what it is I want for three years now. It is definitely a process and not as easy as it seems like it should be. Keep on looking for it though, because that is the answer. I love you and if you need to talk it out, I'm here for ya, love! :)

HEY CARMEN,

JUST SO YOU KNOW.. I AM A PEOPLE PLEASER TOO.. I THINK IT'S OK AS LONG AS YOU DON'T LOSE YOURSELF IN OTHERS. I LIKE TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY, IT MAKES ME HAPPY. SO IN A WAY IT'S FOR SELFISH REASONS. DON'T BE TOO HARD ON YOURSELF.. YOU ARE GREAT...JUST THINK TO YOURSELF WHEN YOU START TO TRY AND PLEASE SOMEONE ELSE, ARE YOU DOING IT BECAUSE YOU WANT THEM TO LIKE YOU OR DO YOU JUST WANT TO MAKE THEM HAPPY, THAT ALWAYS HELPS ME...WELL MOST OF THE TIME ANYWAY... SEE YOU AT WORK...
