Moments

I love this song now: Love it.

We all have moments in our lives.

Moments of excitement

Moments of sadness
Moments of pure bliss
Moments of heartache
Moments of days in the sun
Moments of dancing in the rain
Moments of letting go
Moments of realizing what is right
Moments of realizing what is wrong
Moments of forgetting the pain
Moments of laughter
Moments of strength
Moments of weakness
Moments where life is better than your dreams

As we remember "those" moments that define who we are, we come realize the love we have for ourselves and the opportunity to keep those moments coming, so one day we can look back and see how far we have fallen, gotten back up, and continued on to amazing and great things.

I'm not sure why I'm being so reflective today. But if someone looks like they need a hug or a smile or just a, "hello" then go out of your way and do those things. You more than likely will change how the person's day has been going or even their outlook on life.

Girlfriends...

What the heck would we do without them?

World Issues

Today in all my classes there have been made mention of the issues that plague the United States, and the world. Some areas of the globe are being hit with massive earthquakes, uprooting the daily lives a thousands of people. Others are trying to tear down governments, some have succeeded and many are losing lives and will be unable to see the outcome of the bloodshed. Rape and child abuse was the topic in my life-span development class, there is so much that people can do, but we don't step up to the plate even when there is a suggestion to what is happening because there isn't enough, "evidence". No wonder we as a people don't trust one another! We can't trust that people will be there when we put ourselves on the line and ask for help. Or tell someone we need help and have them as our advocate to get something done. When we put ourselves out there someone tries to break us down or fight against what is right because they want to see that life is honkey dorey and that nothing is wrong if it has "nothing to do with you".

If you live on this earth, if you live in your community, if you care about someone whether it be a friend or family member...it is your business.

I feel that we as a society have lost the idea of what is important or what is right and humane. I, myself, get lost in what is good in life and forget about what is happening over seas. Where people aren't able to eat, drink, sleep, or work for themselves. We are spoiled and don't realize the good that we can do but by remembering that we are all human, we are all important, and we all have families, lives, hopes, dreams, and want a better life...we could maybe make a difference in the world and not see it slowly go (or more quickly now) down to pot.

We need to care more about each other.

We need to live for each other.

We need to do all we can with the tools and abilities we are given.

It sucks when reality slaps you in the face and throws you to the ground because you feel you haven't done jack squat to help anyone ...

Day 30 a photograph of yourself today + three good things that have happened in the past

Well here we are ladies and gents, we made it to the final day of the:
30 days blog challenge! Can you believe it?!?!

I can't.

1. I have never blogged so much in my life

2. I probably won't blog about anything for the next 30 days (that's a lie)

3. It was fun while it lasted but I'm sure you're sick of hearing about the things that make up my life or things that really don't apply to myself at all.

BUT! It is a blog...with my name on it. So of course it's going to be about me.

I still have to finish this last blog post (in the 30 day challenge)

*Photo of myself today (check)

3 good things that have happened in the past:

1. I am alive, I am healthy (always been)

2. I still have the same friends that I had while I was growing up and I hope that never changes.

3. I was blessed with the love of music and have gotten to share it in more instances than I would ever dreamed of being able to. I love music and the power and courage it can bring into people's lives.

So there we go. It is finished.

If you want to take a look back at this little adventure I took go ahead and click HERE and start from the beginning and maybe even start your own 30 blog challenge!

(This 30 day blog challenge has given me the courage to re-vamp the blog)
