Feast of St. John Marie Vianney
Everything that is happening seems so surreal. If I look back on my life, I never expected anything like this to happen. I’m just a simple, ordinary girl who can always go unnoticed. Who would have ever thought that my life would come to this point?

My Angel

Be Strong, My Spirit
Be strong, my spirit
for the Lord’s love will prevail,
and His will is of goodness.

is glory everlasting.
Though mind can’t conceive

Low

Another one of those down days…

I’m sad, tired and gloomy.
Right now, I’m prone to negative thoughts. I could entertain them and eventually, mag-depress-depressan. Pero it’s a self-destructive decision to make. I do have a choice. I have a choice.
