Just Thoughts

  • Isn't it interesting how a song can be just a song and then it shows up on a tv show and it changes your whole life because of what it represented on that show?
  • A dog loves you with everything that it has. Not even second guessing it. Regardless of if you deserve it or not. We should all take a lesson from them on how to love.
  • I wonder what my man is doing at this very second and if I have even crossed his mind yet...?
  • I was at dinner with my family and I'm the only one out of high school that isn't married of getting married soon. It made me lonely.
  • Sometimes I just want to drink alcohol
  • Why is it that some people want nothing but to make your life miserable so that theirs can be better?
  • I have so many great people in my life but there are a few people that have come and gone that I wish would come back again. And then there are some that I was I was closer too again.
  • Dreams last for so long, even after you're gone and, i know that you love me and soon you will see you were meant for me and i was meant for you.
  • The NBA needs to stop this nonsense and pull things together so that we, as fans, can enjoy it again.

Dear Sweet Ruby

This is Ruby:
As of late she hasn't been working that great. She wouldn't start when I needed her to! So.... she got jump started and everything was great. Dad came and picked her up. Got her lubed and bought her some new tires. (Seriously I'm so blessed to have a father that does that for me.) Ruby was feeling good and was working so well until..... today. This morning I go out to go to school and Rubes won't even turn over! NONSENSE!!! So I called my friend (who saved me the last time I needed a jump) and he came over and got Ruby working. I am so grateful for him for doing that for me. It was 8:30 in the morning, and he didn't even hesitate! I'm so lucky to be surrounded by such great people in my life.

A Bad Day Turned Good

Today was not such a great day... Nope. Not even a little bit. Well at least is started out real bad. But as the day moved forward it wasn't as bad as the beginning. Things started to turn around. I was spiritually uplifted by service and at FHE. Then I got to spend some time with a friend doing something I love. Talking about music. He looked at me and said, "you love music. No music is in your heart." And for some reason that really turned things around. I do love music and it is in my heart. I live through it every single day. It really made me happy. Funny how a simple thing can change everything.

Poetry

I went to a poetry reading this week and I really enjoyed it. It was a new experience to me. I think it is quite awesome that the world we live in has something for everyone. Aren't we blessed?? Anyways I wanted to share one of the poems that I heard that night. I think you'll like it!

I Can't Paint
by: Jesse Selman

You're pretty in a way art couldn't explain.
I can't pain you...
Nor do I want too; I've ruined beautiful things before.
You've fixed beautiful things before,
Mostly inside of me.

I know there are things in this world I am looking at wrong.
I need your picture to be my picture.
You see me for what I really am.
And you don't leave?

It's been weeks.
Can I ask you something?
If those legs are in fact painted on
Where did you find paint that doesn't run?

It's amazing, the way you cover ground like a tornado
Without ever moving a muscle,
I've seen you. Spinnin' like a million windmills,
Paint me a picture already, stop mixin' my words up.

When you tear up, the ocean swells.
Too much salt in your tears has left
You all washed out.
Your picture started to run when water was introduced.

It's okay. We've destroyed beautiful things before.
You've fixed beautiful things before.
Left me with a paint brush...
I'm no artist... but I feel I can fix this.
