At The Beginning by Richard Marx and Donna Lewis

We were strangers, starting out on a journey. Never dreaming what we’d have to go through. Now here we are, and I’m suddenly standing, at the beginning with you.

No one told me I was going to find you, unexpected what you did to my heart,when I lost hope you were there to remind me this is the start.

And life is a road and I wanna to keep going. Love is a river, I wanna keep flowing. Life is a road now and forever. Wonderful journey.

I'll be there when the world stops turning. I'll be there when the storm is through. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you.

We were strangers on a crazy adventure. Never dreaming how our dreams would come true. Now here we stand unafraid of the future. At the beginning with you.

I knew there was somebody somewhere that made love in the dark. Now I know my dream will live on I've been waiting so long. Nothings gonna tear us apart.

Life is a road and I wanna keep going. Love is a river I wanna keep going on. Starting out on a journey.

Life is a road and I wanna keep going. Love is a river I wanna keep flowing. In the end I wanna be standing at the beginning with you.

“ The road of life twists and turns and no two directions are ever the same. Yet out lessons come from the journey, not the destination.” -Don Williams Jr.

My Best Friend:

Today is the third day of my thankful thinking. And do you know what I'm thankful for today? Or rather who. My best friend. Tyler. He is the only person [not a member of my family] who didn't abandon me when I moved. Maybe that has to do with the fact that we go to the same school, so he was forced to see me anyway. However, during times when I'm feeling useless and unimportant, he reminds me that I'm important to him and it helps me through the bumpy days and difficult times in my life. He's one of the greatest parts of my life.

Here Comes The Sun!

Thankful Thinking Day #2:

Today I am thankful for the sun.
Why?
Well. Because I hate to be cold.
The sun takes care of that little issue for me.
Also, it makes everything bright and makes me feel optimistic. [Which is good considering tomorrow is the start of another weekend which usually brings sadness and depression into my life.]
The sun is pretty dependable.
The sun will always come out. You may not be able to see it behind all those clouds, but it's always there.
A rare trait to find. . .

30 Seconds of Silence

     In my family, we have what is called 30 seconds of silence. My Grandpa started the tradtition and ever since I can remember whenever we have big family get togethers, we have 30 seconds of silent thankful thinking. Afterwhich he calls on each of us to share what we are thankful for.
     As people in general, I find that we take to much in this life for granted. People, places, possessions, experiences. So, here is what I propose. It is my goal to be consciously thankful for something everyday for the next thirty days.
     I'll start today. Today I am thankful for my wonderful family. Specifically my marvelous mother who I love dearly. If it weren't for her, my family would fall apart. She is such a wonderful example to me and one of my best friends. She is strong and patient. She is loving and fun to be with. I'm so happy that she is MY mommy. I love her so much.

Smile Like You Mean It

"People don’t try to show their feelings, they try to hide them."- Unknown

My Philosophy:
If you feel like crying cry.
If you feel like smiling then smile.
If you want to laugh for no reason at all, do it.
If you're grumpy, then please, let the rest of us know so we can stay away.

Do You Pinky Promise?

      So we all remember when we were five and our best friend told us who her secret crush was and she made you pinky promise that you wouldn't tell. (Well at least a large majorty of girls have this memory) So, what did you do? Did you keep it to yourself, or did you announce it to the whole school over the PA system?

      I think that as we get older, keeping a promise just keeps getting less important to us. "I promise" are just two words we say in order to get someone to stop bugging us.Well, think about if you were on the other side of the promise. You expect that person to live up to their word, right? It's a matter of trust. Don't you think it's a tad bit hypocritical to expect others to keep their promises to you when you make promises to others you don't intend to keep?

      Just a thought....

So Happy Together....

Undecided

"You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes. You can steer yourself in any direction you choose. You're on your own. And you know what you know. And you are the one who decides where you go." -Dr. Seuss

Once again, I have turned to Dr. Seuss for inspiration and motivation. I don't know how many of us actually know what we want to do with our lives, but I for one know I have absolutely no idea. But I'm the only one who can choose what I decide to do. I can't have someone tell me what I should be, because that wouldn't be fun for me. I think that this life is to be enjoyed and I plan on in enjoying it. I just need to find something that I love that is also a stable job. Oh the pressures of life....
