I've been thinking a lot lately about who I am, and what I want to become. Not necessarily career wise, I'm talking about the person I am inside. Sometimes, I question myself. I worry I'm not smart enough. I worry that maybe I've offended someone. I worry I said the wrong thing or should have helped a friend in a different way. I worry that I could do more for those in need. I worry I should have done more in the short 24 hours I have been given that day.
Maybe everyone feels this stress. I don't know. Despite me worrying about these things, I do know that I am a good, caring and genuine person. As life get hectic, it's hard to remember all the things I am blessed with. Deep down, I know that I'm being my best self and that I try to become a better person everyday. I also know this is exactly what I should be doing, and it is good enough. It's good enough for me and it's good enough for the people who love me. I need to remember this.

I'm making a change starting today. I'm going to stop stressing the small things in life. I'm going to stop worrying that I might not be a good enough neighbor, good enough comforter, good enough wife, student, employee, driver, friend, sister, daughter....on and on. Although these are all admirable things to be concerned about, I will view them in a different way. I will remember that as long as I'm trying to be my best self, every day, that's good enough. And I'm good enough.
Wish me luck with my new goal!

Karlee, you are so awesome! I totally know how you feel about stressing little things-like never doing enough. Dont sweat the petty stuff and dont pet the sweaty stuff!
Karlee I love you! I know life can get super stressful but I think you do an amazing job at handling things. You are THE best friend a girl could ask for. And I know you're not wanting any of this raving, but you truly are a unique and loving person with so much to give. Give yourself some credit! Thanks for all you do for me. I love love you! Xoxo
You truly are a great person. I know what you are talking with the stresses. If you ever want to talk call me.
oh man i think everyone worries about those things. but you can only do the best you can. my mom always says, "don't worry about the small stuff, and its all small stuff." and its so true. so good luck not worrying!!
i understand i get the same way sometimes. it just means your a good person to be thinking of yourself and how you may be portrayed to the outside world...
think about it...some people...maybe most don't think that way.
this way...we are different.
i'd like to hear your happy list.

Kar you are one of my MOST FAVORITE people!!!
Karlee, Karlee, Karlee... let me fill you in on my thoughts.
(This could get long and sappy) I don't know you well enough but from what I do know, you are a truly desirable friend, wife, sister, co-worker, and mother to Jeffery. It makes me feel like a real person when I see that someone as perfect as you has these insecurities about the little things in life. As you can see though, many people love you and think you are great. I think a lot of people (okay, and me too) wish they could be as fun, darling, caring, and as well-rounded as you are. I think it was Stewart Smally on SNL that said - "And gosh darn it, I am good enough." ha ha ha! Take Stewarts words to heart. Go to the mirror and say this to your face. lol.
You are great girl. And this makes me wonder why we still haven't gotten together. Maybe we should do this in the NEAR future.
This post was truly not to get a pity party. I just sat down and this is what came out. Venting I guess.
But I sincerely appreciate every kind word you all wrote to me. I read several of them twice. I'm so blessed to have such great friends and family! Thank you thank you!
Xo.
Kar! You are just too cute! Being the type of person others try to emulate (like me) is a pretty dang good way to be. I am proud to say you are my friend!
Oh Ash, you're too kind! You are SUCH a good example to me!
What dose the Four Pillar Team mean?
