We have that special place where we can completely let go of all sense of time and responsibility. When our lives are crazy and we cant stop thinking, we go there to find peace. We go there to save the last bit of sanity we have left, we go there to feel rested, we go there to sort out everything in our minds free of interruption.

I'm starting my Sophomore year of high school on Tuesday and I must say it feels as if summer just started yesterday, the way its flown by! I hope you have all had a wonderful summer that you will be sure to remember! I know I have ,from the hot long rewarding days at horse fair to the relationships I gained and memories I made. It has definitely been a summer for the books! I look back and honestly feel so blessed ,often times while were in the moment our minds tend to gravitate toward the negative aspects of our lives or the hard times of the moment. Then something amazing happens. We look back and see all the fun memories and joyful moments that we had amidst all the bad. Our minds are blind in the moment but when we look back we realize how blessed we really were, how blessed we really are even in a bad situation. I love the old saying "ther...
