Stresses Of LIfe...

Everyone feels stress right? I'm not the only one in the whole world?
Boy have I been feeling very stressed.
I don't know if it's the stress of people doubting you...when in fact they don't give you a chance.
When you are never told you are doing a good job when your working your butt off?
That your body is being lame and deciding it hates being healthy?
When your parents and sister are millions of miles away from you? 
When you feel homesick and you just can't get a hold of your parents because they are asleep or off traveling the mission again?
I feel like this and a lot lately.
 I think some people that aren't obviously my family forget...
Forget my parents are millions of miles away, and how hard it can be. Not just for the kids but also for the parents.
How when it's mothers day and you ask me to sing with everyone and I turn it down..
probably means I'm going to cry. I miss my mom who I can't celebrate mothers day with her.
Or when it's fathers day and you are trying hard not to get caught up in the activities because you know if anyone asks about your dad your going to break down and cry. 
I don't think people realize how hard it is... only the ones who really ask the questions if I miss them.
I have one lady at work who asks me how I'm doing. I know that one understands. 
Sorry getting some thoughts off my shoulder. 
I get excited for 'Fast Sundays' because I know I'll be with my siblings who know exactly how I feel. Or even just being with my family. It is hard.
Stresses of life SUCK! But I'm learning so much from my stresses.
One thing I've learned is to share appreciation for everyone who is working so hard.
And thanks for all that actually take the time to read my blog. 
And thanks to all those who understand me.
And thanks to all that are mothers. Power to you all! Seems like a hard job, and frankly, I'm not ready to join the field. ha ha.

Katheryn, this only proves you have a beautiful heart, a soft, tender heart... and in my book, that's the best kind to have. the only downside... is pain. it can be painful to care so much. but, please don't ever stop caring! believe me... it is better to care.
rememer: you can do hard things! you'll only get stronger for it!

love you, cutie pie!

Kat, I'm sorry to hear you're stressed. I miss you too. I know it's hard being away from family but I also know the we are being blessed in many ways we don't even realize. Thank you for making this sacrifice. You're awesome and I love you. I'm excited I get to see you soon, even if it's just for a few days.
Love you honey
