Simple Things

Its funny how one heartbreaking thing can teach you so many life lessons.

"Tell me, how do you stand there with your broken heart..ashamed of playing the fool?"
Ive learned not to live for one big moment after the next. The simple things mean so much...more than the big things the majority of the time. Like playing street ball with your best friends. Or sitting out on the porch swing with your dad. Or walking through the park hand in hand talking to your boyfriend. Ive learned to not worry about looking like a fool, show people you love and care about them without worrying about what others think. Give your money away, because most likely you will use it for some useless thing that will just junk up your space. Dont be Eeyor, and try to show people the most positive way of living. Laugh about anything and everything, at yourself, or your dog. Laugh when you're alone...or with a group. (It feels great, just try it) Keep things in order..and dont live life in chaos. If it take a second thought about whether or not to do something, then you probably shouldnt do it...Dont doubt the Lord. Afterall, isnt he God? He knows all. Make some time to be alone. Dont be afraid to sit by yourself and think about things, or just listen to God. If you have something on your heart to say to someone, JUST TELL THEM. It wont hurt...and maybe they feel the same way. That moment will only bring you closer. Work hard and dont be a bum. Dont be selfish. If you're feeling sad-GO OUTSIDE. Fresh air and sunshine is the key to happiness.

I went to a James Taylor concert last night and it was amazing. I got the tickets for Christmas, and I chose to take my dad. It was wonderful and we had a great time together. We dont get to spend much alone time together so it was well needed.


School is going great...and im very thankful for my friends. Growing up, i was being shuffled from house to house so i never really had a very good childhood. I wasnt able to play with kids in the neighborhood or be in any kind of sport. So the fact that i have friends that are willing to get out and have a blast doing things that are simple is great to me. We played basketball and tennis and had a wonderful time. The key to any great friendship is laughter. Im also thankful that i have a boyfriend who is also my best friend. :)

One last thing, I have to be the clumsiest person in the whole wide world. Who else could wreck a workout bike? ME. I have the bruises to prove it.

P.S.
"Shower the people you love with love, show them the way that you feel."
