A Needed Push

I have thought and wanted to update my blog all day, but unsure how to approach it. I feel like a lot of my entries are about being single, and complaining, which I don't want to do. I'm actually very grateful for where I am in my life right now. I can't imagine working full time, going to nursing school full time and trying to fit in time for dating.
With that being said, one of my best friends, Felicity, and I, went to two movies this weekend. Letters to Juliet and Robin Hood. Both were great. I cried in Letters to Juliet, but felt this overwhelming feeling of hope, and inspiration. In these types of movies, yes, I'm talking chick flicks, the main characters show so much passion. I watch these characters, these women, (as well as men) follow their hearts and their passions, in extraordinary ways.
I know that I am following my heart and my passion, but the hard thing for me to remember is that this dream isn't going to happen overnight. As well as the fact that it isn't the easiest thing to accomplish. I've struggled through my classes, but in doing so, I'm learning about the strength that I have, and even if I'm not doing as well as I want, I'm still doing great.
Robin Hood was a different tale than I have seen of Robin Hood, and I wasn't sure how I felt about Cate Blanchett being Maid Marian, however, her class and stature brought something different to this character than I had felt before. Not only was she independent, and feisty (which is one of the reasons I LOVE Maid Marian) but she brings silent strength and a willingness to do the right thing.
Overall this weekend I have felt a push for inner strength and renewal of passion in my life.
