Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!  I cannot believe that it is almost April already!  March flew by and my 21st birthday is fast approaching.  I am still not sure how I want to celebrate this milestone in my life, I was thinking about a low key BBQ or maybe finding a concert to go to.  I'm really not into partying or drinking so I don't want something huge.  I still have some time to decide so I will keep at it until I come to a decision.  I hope everyone has a great Friday and good luck to anyone who played the lottery :)

Don't Quit

I wish I knew who the author of this poem was because they definitely deserve recognition :)

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will;

When the road you're trudging seems all uphill;

When the funds are low, and the debts are high

And you want to smile, but have to sigh;

When care is pressing you down a bit -

Rest if you must, but do not quit.

Success is failure turned inside out;

The silver tint of the cloud of doubt;

And you can never tell how close you are

It may be near when it seems so far;

So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit -

It's when things go wrong that you must not quit.

Mega Millions!!!!!

So today is the day!  The Mega Millions jackpot is up to 500 million dollars!  That's right folks half a billion dollars!  Wow!  So the question is, what is the first thing that you would buy if you won this massive amount of money?  I would buy a house for my mom, and then one for myself :)  To all those who have bought tickets good luck!

Schmidt Happens!

So, New Girl is one of my favorite shows on T.V. right now.  Every single character is hilarious, but Schmidt has some of the best lines ever written in the history of sitcoms, lol.  Here is a link to some of the best Schmidt quotes so far this season.  http://www.zap2it.com/news/pictures/zap-new-girl-schmidt-quotes-pictures,0,1203207,showall.photogallery

I Carry Your Heart With Me

This is one of my favorite poems by e.e. cummings.

I carry your heart with me
(I carry it in my heart)
I am never without it (anywhere I go you go, my dear; and whatever is done by only me is your doing, my darling)
I fear no fate (for you are my fate, my sweet)
I want no world (for beautiful you are my world, my true)
and it's you are whatever a moon has always meant
and whatever a sun will always sing is you

Here is the deepest secret nobody knows
(Here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide)
and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart

I carry your heart (I carry it in my heart)

New Year, New Beginnings

So with the new year fast approaching (and I mean fast, lol) I have decided to make some changes in my life.  One major change that I am making is my health.  I am making it a point to eat better because right now I don't, lol.  I have also decided to really live this year (no, I wasn't dead this year just not really living).  I want to have fun and be healthy and make some friends.  I also really want to focus on me, I need to stop worrying about pleasing others and focus on living for me.  I know that when most people make "new year's resolutions" they don't stick with them and that is why these are not resolutions.  I will take each day and savor it, I will give thanks for everything that I have and enjoy the people I am spending my time with.  I will not be wasting my time with anyone who is not worth it.  So I hope that everyone has a happy new year and really thinks about what they want to accomplish in 2012 and just do it.  Life is too short to hold back, so I want to wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!!!

Giving Thanks

Man, do the holidays stress people out!  I am so thankful that I was able to buy my family gifts this year, it was a little difficult but I made it work.  We have been through so much this year that we deserved to have a great Christmas, but there are many people out there that also deserve a great Christmas, maybe more than I do, and they simply can not afford it.  So when my mom told me about three kids who wouldn't have anything under their tree this Christmas I almost cried.  I can not imagine what it must be like for a child to wake up on Christmas morning and have nothing under their tree.  When I was growing up we didn't have much but my mom always made sure that we had at least one gift under the tree.  So I went out today and got those kids a little something for Christmas, not from my family, but from Santa =).  So this holiday season, I am just so thankful that I have a roof over my head, food in my refrigerator, and that I am surrounded by family.  Happy holidays everyone, enjoy this time with your family, put material things aside and make some memories!
