soul surfer.

Sorry for my lack of posting as of late.  I tend to drift away from the Blogger world every now and again.  Things at home have been rather hectic, and spring break was last week...yeah, that's my excuse ;)

But despite the fact I didn't travel to the beach or go on a cruise, my spring break wasn't a total loss.  I earned some money filling in at the chiropractic office my mom works at, had a movie marathon with two of my best friends, and (obviously) and went to see Soul Surfer...with two different best friends. :)

Soul Surfer was the portrayal of Bethany Hamilton, a 13-year-old Hawaiian girl who survived a shark attack and still continued to pursue her passion for surfing.  Not only was it heart wrenching and inspiring...it made me realize how selfish I am.

I mean, I am really selfish.  I have both arms, both legs -- all of which work right.  I don't have cancer or an incurable disease.  I have a family who cares about me, clothes on my back, food in my cabinets, and a roof over my head.

Just like Bethany, I needed a new perspective.  And this movie gave me one. :)

love-love-love,
anna :)
