Remembering the Good Times

When I am at my lowest, especially in crisis mode, I need to remember the positive things that have happened in my life.  I also need to remember the good times I have experienced.  It is not easy during these times, but I realize if I want to get out of that crisis mode and get myself to a better, "safe" place, this is what I need to do.

Girl Scouts:
The many destinations I traveled with my Girl Scout troops throughout the year, out of state, in state and even out of the country.  Lifetime experiences, seeing new things, meeting new, wonderful people with a lifetime of friendships.

Being a Girl Scout since I was in first grade, it was an honor and so rewarding to receive my Girl Scout Gold Award.

School
I remember the day I graduated high school a year early. Now a days it might not be much of a big deal, but when I did it, it was not one that happened to many times, and it was one of the times that I really felt truly successful.

Acceptance into 12 of my 13 universities I applied to, very "prestigious" schools ranked high in the US

Family
Meeting, dating, and then marrying my "knight & shining armor."

The birth of each of my three children.

Other
Buying my first home with my husband and moving out of state to NC

Finding a great job that I had for 4 years - lots of experiences, opportunities, growth

Returning to school to pursue my Associates degree and making the Dean's list.  Though I am not done, it has been great and I look forward to completing my degree and continuing on to finish my bachelor's degree

There are of course other events that have happened throughout my lifetime, but for now, these are the ones that I will look at when I am feeling at my lowest and need a jolt to help me get out of my funk.
