Never Alone

During some of our Preference ceremonies we sing this song called "Never Alone". It always makes me tear up a little because it is such a touching song about never having to be alone because your sisters are always near. Last night I was making sure that the skit and dance were timed right and being run through with no mistakes. Then I went to go check on how the preference ceremony was coming along, needless to say that it was beautiful. Three sisters sang songs, one of them singing "never alone". It just really got to me for a few reasons. I am literally never alone, but figuratively too. That evening some of the girls exchanged testimonials and stories that were close to their hearts that really brought everyone to tears. I really felt the underlined bond of sisterhood in the room.

I haven't really been overwhelmingly homesick since I've left, but last night I got really homesick. I was thinking about all of the people who are close to my heart and how much they mean to me. I went to bed feeling ok because I knew the feeling would pass. I woke up and realized that I had slept with my grandmother's ring on. I never sleep with any jewelry on, so this was odd. I dragged myself to the bathroom with my eyes hardly open to take a shower. I turned on the water and went to go brush my teeth and I realized that there was a bug on the ceiling. I looked at it again and realized it was a lady bug! I just starred at it because I was in amazement that this lady bug could get in the house. We are not allowed to open any windows on the top floor, so it was so odd to have a lady bug just hanging out. It seemed so out of place, but it meant so much to me. I have this thing for lady bugs and I think they are symbolic is many ways. Some of you know how obsessed I am with lady bugs and their relevance in my life. This morning I immediately thought wow, this is a sign I'm never alone. There's always someone watching down on you, and always someone there.

Well, off to another day of Work Week!

Wish me luck, XOXOXO

Best,
