8 Random Things

1. If I eat a cheese burger with the cheese side down I can't taste the cheese...and I think it is a plain hamburger.

2. I am always singing a song in my head...always. People always think I am thinking something serious, nope its just a song.

3. I love my eyes. If you compliment me on them I will love you forever.

4. I have a good sense of direction but usually doubt myself, then I end up getting lost. I need to stop doubting myself.

5. I can watch Serendipity and Major League over and over again.

6. I am a huge baseball fan. I love going to the games, watching them on TV, and hooting and hollering. One of my dreams is

to take a tour of all the stadiums in the US. (p.s...lets go yankees!)

7. When no one is around I dance and sing at the top of my lungs like I am a professional. In fact I really enjoy dancing in

front of the mirror.

and the most embarresing yet...

8. When I was younger I had a huge fear that Michael Jackson was going to come out of my toilet. (I have no idea why)

Life

Life ... the inevitable roller coaster ride

Up, down, around those twist and turns

Remember being young, innocent, pure

Happy with the simple things

How did everything get so complicated

Decisions became life altering

What happend to the easy days

The fun and relaxation

What happened to the ice cream man

And running through the grass at night to catch fireflies

I don't even see fireflies anymore....

are they out there?

Get up and Dance

I adore music

It is a part of my every day life

Singing at the top of my lungs...

Humming along....

or crying to an intense lyric that hits home

I noticed that a lot of my music collection is those intense lyrics

Now don't get me wrong, I love them. However a lot of them are depressing and bring me down.

So I am changing my BEAT!!!

I started collecting music that makes me want to "Get Up And Dance"

And it is such a great way to start a day

Dancing and singing!!

Give it a try I am sure it will make you smile.

Also send the songs that make you want to get up and dance!

Healing

I am the one who is always doing something...

working,

playing,

going for a hike,

walking...

Rarely sitting still.

The past four days have definilty changed that!

All I have being doing is sitting and lying down.

It is strange what sickness does to you.

Of course I have had the urge to clean, and tidy up...

but I restrained.

Instead Christian moved the mattress into the living room,

And I fell deeply into the world of television,

something I rarely every do.

I rested, did an awful lot of resting.

Finally I am starting to feel better.

Not 100% yet, but that will be any day now.

Sometimes your body just needs a break.

I have not been to the doctor since 2005, so really I cannot complain

And two years of resting up and getting better must be taken seriously,

And so I did that.

Tomorrow I think I will take my needed rest out into the sunshine,

poolside, with my mom :)

Perfection

I used to write every single day. Putting my thoughts down onto paper, expressing my ideas, and simply just writing. However now a days I seem to be searching for the perfect words...the perfect thing to write about. Usually great things come to me at night, when I am lying in bed. However i never get up to write them down. I debate them over in my head and forget about them the next morning. Does that mean they were not important?

I need to learn to simply put the pen to the paper and let whatever comes out come out. It does not have to be perfect. It is not a graded paper like in College. It is my ideas, my expressions...whatever I say is ok.

Writing. I must continue to write.

100

This, my friends, is my 100th post!

I remember starting this blog,

and I was hesitant at first.

I am a very private person.

So putting my thoughts and feelings into words....

on the internet....for people to read.

Oh, how scary.

Yet, I jumped into this world of the unknown.

And I have been inspired my so many people.

This world of "blogging" has connected me.

It has got me in touch with me.

And it also has inspired me creativly.

It is so nice to see be able to connect with people,

even if you never meet them in person.

I guess that is part of being human,

searching for that connection, not feeling so alone.

There is this amazing web being weaved right here on the internet

Connecting people and inspiring people.

It is amazing what words can do.

So today is a little celebration for me.

A celebration of my creativity,

of my writing,

of my picture taking,

of my paiting.

Of all the things I enjoy doing...

and all the things I have been inspired to delve into more,

because of this amazing community right here.

Thank you for inspiring me...

and thank you to the only person who reads this....

it is nice to know that even though you are far away you still read what I write.

Happy 100th post to me!!
