Good food and family sometimes seem hard to come by. I have adopted many a friends to be family. I have also adapted many recipes and made them my own. For the fourth or so year I have run the kitchen for Thanksgiving solo. Everyone likes to try and help but I prefer to do it myself. I have too many things going on to have to figure out what to tell someone to do and in the end them helping stresses me out....with that said.
I am thankful that I have people to call family that are there for me even when I think I don't need it. I am thankful that for the time being... I have a roof over my head, a job and a fridge full of food.
Thank you to all those that may I not know your face I know your hearts and have been an ear... even when I didn't know I needed it.
Happy Thanksgiving yall!

I really need to keep on this thing right? Cause of all the readers... wait... there's just me. ANYWAY!!
I have recently has some sort of mind shifting, mind blowing, heart warming Karina mental moments lately.
I no longer care about a lot of things. The negative was left somewhere in my past where it should stay. Which is not to say I don't bad days, REALLLLLLLY bad days. After all we don't know the good without the bad right. I am saying that I know that everything in life must be a lesson or what is the point. Don't hold the bitter in or it will rot the savory and sweet moments in your life. I can only live each day for what it is and I can only love me and those around me for what and who they are.
I am a new me and that's all I can be. I am Karina. I am a strong beautiful smart woman who is learning what she wants and how to get it. Love me for me and who I am right now not who I can or will be.... I know I am.

Who am I?
And while we're at it who are you?
I am very proud on my outlook of things. I realize that I put importance in and on the wrong things and that made me feel a little lost in who I am. I know that there are things that I am willing to stand up for and protect. I am not the type of person that wants a quick fix because I know that they aren't fixes. In a motifed version fo the old saying... that which does kill us or at least hurt...will make us stronger mentally. I am resiliant like a reed in the water, I am tough like a rock on the shore, I am Karina and I like me for me. Or the me that I am finally starting to see without outside influence. Though influences aren't bad. I just know that in past and even currently that there were things in my life that took over and I have an obsessive personality. I am willing to throw myself into things just for see if they fit. I have now modified that into trying things and taking from it what I can and moving on to the next new and exciting adventure. I have been to two concerts this week with people I have never hung out with. One a random person I men and the other a potential new really great set of friends (co-worker and wife). I am really realizing in my hard times who I can call friend. And I had hidden myself away from expierenceing things and life for far too long. I am getting better at doing things for and by myself. This weekend will be a first for going to an all day music festival solo. Perhaps I will make new friends there as well.
today's happy: A smile that starts on the inside and a hairs cut.
