Good Heavens, Girl!
What a year it has been! You've seen unimaginable heartbreak, experienced anger, loss, and overwhelming acceptance. 365 days ago, you were on your way to Happily Ever After. How could you have possibly known the year you would have?
It's been hard. There have been tears - A LOT of tears. But you're sitting here today, and you're a more whole person than you've been in a long time. Maybe ever. So many people are proud of you. *I* am proud of you. Here are a few reasons why:
*You are faithfully attending and involved in church
*You've lived on your own for almost a year
*You are learning who you are, and you really LOVE that girl
*You are surrounding yourself with people who are good for you
*You know your worth - and demand it
*You are stronger than anyone gave you credit for
*You haven't let the hard times get you down. Instead, you have found true joy by realizing that not every experience has to be a 'happy' one to be a 'good' one.
Sarah Jane, I am excited and terrified for what this year has in store. Each day is a fresh start. A new chance to do great things and be great. You have a great God to help you. Look to Him, learn from Him. Use the godly women He has placed in your life to help you. YOU ARE HIS.
A few more reminders:
~~"The Lord will guarantee a blessing on everything you do and will fill your storehouses with grain. The Lord your God will bless you in the land He is giving you." --Deuteronomy 28:8
~~"I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning." --J.B. Priestly
~~"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." --attributed to Mark Twain
~~"We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps." --Proverbs 16:9
~~"Ever tried? Ever failed? No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better." --Samuel Beckett
Don't forget to be good to yourself. Be good to others. Be great. Be brave. Happy Birthday, Princess.

About Me
- Sarah*Jane
- What is a PRG?? PRG is something someone started calling me long ago - almost in another lifetime. It stands for "Puerto Rican Goddess." Most days lately, I just feel like a Pretty Regular Girl. So this blog will journal my days as a PRG. Some days that will mean my adventures as a Puerto Rican Goddess; other days I'll just be a Pretty Regular Girl. I hope you can find entertainment in both.
