I sure seem to be complaining a lot, so I first want to apologize from the bottom of my heart. I don't mean to get so down - I just feel that this is an outlet for me to reflect on my life. I guess my life isn't always where I would like it to be.I know I have said it before, but this past year has been a difficult one for me. I am not sure why. I have tried so hard to change things in my life to make things better and more calming - but, it just seems to get worse as things do change. And, I have to keep wondering if it is just me. My kids are wonderful, my husband is great, and here I am - STUCK!!!
So silly, I know. I feel like I am back in high school and can't figure out who I am. But, when I start reflecting on my life I realize how much of it I would like to change (within myself!). Now, for those of you who don't know me very well, I am a bit of a perfectionist. So this clearly doesn't help my current situation:)
I guess I just need to have faith that if I keep going and keep making positive changes, then everything will just fall into place. I have been struggling with a certain "disease", if that's what you call it, for 13 years now - and I think that is the root of my stress right now. I keep telling myself that once that is under control, the rest of my life will balance out. But, I sure seem to be waiting for a long time. Am I doing enough to make things better? I don't know.
Well, again I apologize. I really don't mean for my posts to be so depressing. Sometimes I feel better getting things out and knowing I'm not alone in some of my crazy things:) And, when I remind myself of how blessed I am to have a wonderful family, that helps too...

Tiff,
I just want you to know that I truly think you are one of the most amazing people I know. You are beautiful, have a great family and darling kids. On top of that you have such a stong testimony and more faith than most. I know that life is challenging and, I personally think that you just have to take life one step at a time. Start with the small things and work your way to the harder ones. I think that's the easiest way to make changes in anything in life. Once you've taken care of all the small things, the harder ones seem to be a little more manageable. I love you and am here for you always. Please, please, please call or email me if there is anything that I can do for you.
I'm sorry you are feeling this way. I think we all go through times like this. I know I do. I have a hard time when I can't control things. I think we all just have to keep going sometimes although it isn't always easy. Let me know if there is anything I can do for you!
Also, thanks for pointing me in the right direction with my blog background! I was finally able to change it without losing everything. Thanks again!
Hey Tiff, I think you are wonderful and completely NORMAL!! It's ok to vent and it's also healthy! You just keep on keepin on...I know sometimes it sucks. I sometimes live hour by hour or min by min or just live in denial that is a wonderful place too!! You are fantastic :)xoxo
Tiff,
We love you to death! You are such a strong person! You don't give yourself enough credit.
Just know that Heavenly Father is on your side and He wants you to succeed and be HAPPY! Who else do you need on your team?!
Stay close to Him and He will help you!
We are all here for you too! Don't you ever forget it!~
Tiff, I really think you are wonderful. I wish you realized how great you really are. If you are feeling down on yourself, remember that all these people (as well as your family and many other friends) can not possibly be wrong about you. You are strong and will conquer whatever it is that you are struggling with.

Tiffany,
You are so beautiful, talented, thoughtful, and understanding of others. I am sorry that this is still a trial in your life. Please know you have so many friends that love you and are there for you and will do anything to help you... And only because YOU DESERVE IT! One thing that I've tell my Laurels is "you are a princess" and you are! I love you and miss you and will pray for you!
loves!
Tiff-You are so very loved by so many people and ESPECIALLY by your Heavenly Father! You are a DAUGHTER OF GOD and He LOVES you very very much! I read a really good talk this morning "The Great and Wonderful Love" by Elder Anthony D. Perkins. It is in the Nov 2006 Ensign. Go read it. I hope it will help you. I hope you believe & have faith in the things he says. It was a great talk for me to read & be reminded of today.
When I struggle with things in my life I want to hide away & not come in contact with many people. But I need the strength that comes from others around me. I need to feel of HIS love through others. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think it is important. Just remember you are loved!
I feel like I haven't seen you in a while...I miss being V.T. partners! Come to play group at the park on Tuesdays at 10:00. It is alot of fun..even if Bree is at school come anyway.
