The better things in life!

Alright so today… I realized that it has been quite a long time since I have posted anything… so… NOW IS THE TIME!!!! I think I would just like to make a quick shout out to my amazing family and friends! I never realized how lucky I am, and how much I have got, until you see the worst of life. I am a volunteer at my mom’s work, and it is sometimes heart breaking to see some of these cases… I am so incredible grateful for everything my family has given me, and for all the amazing friends that I have! I am so lucky to have all the things that I do, and to be so well raised!!!! I know that my future is bright and filled with surprise and change because of my awesome upbringing! I love you all: Mom, dad, Billi, Judy, Mike, Beth, Tiffany, Alana, Kailyn, Jamie, Lacey, Jackie, Kathleen!!!! You mean the world!!!

Some awesome lyrics....

GOOD MORNING WORLD!!!!!

Sorry I didn't post anything last night... I had the "World Famous" Backstreet Boys Concert to go to last night with Tiffany.... it was a lot of fun!

Anyways, today I would like to share with you all some of the bits and pieces of the lyrics to a song that I have the opportunity of waking up to!

"While your sittin' around thinking about what you can't change,
and worryin' about all the wrong things. Time's flyin' by, movin' so fast.
You better make it count, becuase you can't get it back."

These lyrics are SPOT ON! Nothing, that I can think of right now, in a tired daze, can be more amazing! The lyrics are saying to get up and make the most of each day! LIVE LIFE (my life lesson) Carrie Underwood, in this song, is emphasizing the importance of living life, and making the most of every minute... because let's face it: you will never have another one exactly like it. Sure I can say that my drive to work every morning is just the same as every other day. But tomorrow, I won't be able to say that on the 6,649th day of my existence, at the exact moment that I got in my car, driving to work, with the exact same people on my way to work... will be the same. It will never be the same.

How can you make your life different day-by-day? My advice: Don't. Make someone else's day. They say laughter is the best medicine. Well I can for sure tell you, that when people see me driving down the freeway driving 70mph dancing crazily to ''Take Me or Leave Me" by RENT, there is never a person who can refrain from staring and laughing. Why? Because I am weird. So weird in fact that they are probably uncomfortable with it, which is why they are laughing... you would think all this name-calling would offend me? HECK NO! It does just the opposite... it makes my day. I love watching every one's reaction to my crazy antics. Nothing in life is better! To me... I am making the most of my life. So, when your out on your daily routines today... just remember: Time's flyin' by, movin' so fast, you better make it count, because you can't get it back!

The trouble with love is...

Now some of you may think that you are about to get a big complaint about some guy that I am infatuated with, and how he broke my heart... well boys and girls: Prepare to be surprised. The trouble with love is... that it is living. I am not just talking about love with a partner or lover. Love. Love friends, love family, love animals, love nature, love life.

Love is living. Love is constantly growing, deteriorating, changing, diminishing, and thriving. Friendships are fading. Families are breaking. Lovers are losing. Nature is crumbling. Love is all around us, if you let it be... but to most: that is where it stops. Love is nothing more than a four letter word that most will, sadly, never have the privilege of experiencing. Sadly, it is probably due to no one more than themselves. People are very true in saying that you are your own worst enemy. SO MANY TIMES in life, it is so easy to quit. Quit a job. Quit a relationship. Quit a family. Quit love. It is so easy to say no. The temptation for many, sadly, is too much.

We are the privileged ones. You. Me. Your family. My family. Our friends. We are the lucky ones. I say that because most of us that read this know love. We know the emotions. We know the experience. We cherish love. But unfortunately, there are people out there that are not so lucky. It is our job to keep faith, and keep love close to our hearts.... because if we lose it, who will have it?

The benefits of loving life!

For my first post on this extraordinary adventure... I want to (of course) start it off positive! I would like to express

what I believe, are the benefits of loving life! But, I truly believe, that before you love life, you must love yourself! So how might we do this, you may be wondering.. it's simple. Be yourself. What could seemingly be easier, yet there are millions of people out there who think that there is a necessity in hiding yourself.... to them: I ask why?!?!? What is the point??

"Be Yourself. Dance like no one is watching, Sing like no one can stop you, Think like no one can hear you, and be you like no one else can be!"

Now... the benefits of loving life. This may be a let down, but there is only one benefit to loving life, but to some, to me in particular, this one benefit makes it all worth while.

THE BENEFIT:
You are happy. Some people out there may be confused on what this means... and take it as you may. Happiness, although can be defined by dictionary.com is truly what you take it as. For me, happiness is being able to go to sleep with a smile on my face, knowing that, I may not always be making the right choice, but I know that I am doing what I believe in. There is nothing more vital.

So I would like to challenge you to start being yourself! I don't care who you are. what your profession is. how old you are. how "horrible" life is to you, just remember.... you never know someone elses' story, so be thankful you have yours. Be yourself. Live. Laugh. Love. LIFE.
