I have come to find that in those times there is one thing that is always helpful - and that is spending time with/talking to my loving sisters.
I am so lucky & was blessed with two beautiful younger sisters. They mean the world to me & they help me more than they will ever know.
Sami is 18 & so strong. She is such an example to me, without even knowing it. She is beautiful, strong, Christ-like, loving, & the list goes on and on. I could write a post about her all day, everyday.
Something that I really admire about her is her kindness. That is something I don't really have. I can be kind, but I have to really think about it & try. Sami is kind always. She always thinks of others, puts them first, & empathizes with them. When I am having a bad day, she is someone who can always lift me up. I am so lucky to have her.
She can always make me laugh. She is so attentive to other people's needs. She is always wanting and willing to help others feel better. I need her in my life.
Recently my brother got married & I got another sister, Whitney. I love her so much. We have been friends for a few years, but have always felt like a sister.
She is such a great listener. I can call her when I need to talk & she will listen to anything & everything I have to say. I love to listen to her wonderful laugh & look at her smile. She doesn't know how much just being in her life & getting random texts from her saves my life & makes my day.

Two years ago Reese's brother married Brittany & brought another sister into my life. We had some rough patches at first [probably because we are both sooo sarcastic] & it took us a little bit to realize that we could be there for each other.
I honestly do not know what I would do without her. When life is hard I always think to call her, but I talk myself out of it because we haven't been sisters for very long. Then when things get a little harder I do call her & she always is there for me. She always knows exactly what to say & she empowers me. She lets me vent, complain, & get to a good place. She calls me on my crap & would let me call her out on hers.

Sometimes life is harder than other times. Whenever I have a bad day, I just need to remember that I have 4 amazing, wonderful, kind, beautiful sisters who love me & would do anything for me. I would do anything for them & hope they will lean on me when life gets hard for them.
