My Awe struck list

The things that leave a mark are the ones that brought a bruise that lead to the mark. The things that end up on an awe struck list are things that amazed even you.  From time to time we jump hurdles or overcome struggles that even we have to look back and appreciate.  The Awe struck list is simply a metaphor for the beautiful stone you become after going through the struggles of life.  They are personal moments where even you had to admit that you're made of stronger stuff than you think.  Struggles aren't always clean and clear cut nor are they always good or bad but if anything they are always a test to one's character.  They shape mold and smooth out the rough edges till you become that smooth rock much like the ones found at the water's edge.  There you'll also find jagged edged rocks still going through the process.  Some rocks smooth faster than others and some dissolve into nothing.  Don't judge your awe struck list based on other peoples criteria or lives. For we are all pieces of a puzzle fitting together to make the whole picture.  Remember if your piece looked like another then there would be a space missing a piece and a unnecessary piece without a space. Let your list scream you and the reality of your awesome moments.  There is no harm in enjoying or marveling at what others have accomplished but you should remember that they are but examples of what you can do in your way in your situation in your life and most importantly in your ability to be you.
