Look at life through the windshield, not the rear-view mirror


You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you. ~ Sri Ram

Today is a beautiful day outside. Today is a day I am so thankful for the many blessings I have. I am a very blessed woman. I'm 31 years young. Full of life. Healthy. I have two beautiful daughters who are full of life and healthy. I have a 7 year old siamese cat that has slept with me almost everyday of his life when I'm home. I have a great circle of friends that I know I can count on.

I can say I'm happy. The most happy I have been my entire life. I know exactly what it is. I am finding myself.

I for once am single. I have always been a girl in a relationship and never really knew who I was fully til I became single. The single life is not always fun. I hate sleeping alone all the time, but then I again I love having my whole leopard printed bedding and my pillows to myself. I always thought of myself as weaker person. I am not! I can do so many things that I never thought I could do, in the process I have been able to mark some stuff off my bucket list. I went to a friends play all by myself. I have never done that. I ate at Subway all by myself. I found out, it's not so bad!! I love being able to walk around my house, work on little projects like painting and I can sing in my shower at the top of my lungs. I can make and eat whatever food I want. I have been cooking more.

I feel like now I'm too picky. I have went on a few dates, they have been nice. If I had to describe My prince charming: Soul-mates are people who bring out the best in you. They are not perfect but are always perfect for you. THE MOST attractive thing about someone is their smile. Someone who wears the same face no matter who they are around. Someone that is physically attractive--that takes care of themselves and wears good smelling cologne. Perfer someone who does not smoke. Someone who likes adventure & likes to be spontaneous. Someone who avoids drama. A person that likes to hit the town for fun, but then can lay on the couch and snuggle with a movie. Above all I want someone to be honest and open with their feelings, good-bad-or otherwise. I admire people who are like this

I always felt like all my life I have done and conformed to what other people wanted of me and somehow I lost myself. I'm not saying I'm 180 difference. I'm just knowing what is right, what is wrong. I need to say sorry more. I need to love people even when they are being mean. I need to be that person God has called me to be. It's not always easy to do the right thing. But I can go to bed at night so much easier. I beleive in being yourself, being honest and open. Love other people even if they are going to hurt you. Because it's the right thing to do.

Today I choose to LOVE.

Marilyn Monroe Quotes


I LOVE Quotes. My favorite ones are by Marilyn Monroe. How ironic?! Great divas think alike!

"This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, somg go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up becuase if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."

LIFE!

As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasn't supposed to ever let us down, probably will. You'll have your heart broken and you'll break others' hearts. You'll fight with your best friend or maybe even fall in love with them, and you'll cry because time is flying by. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, forgive freely, and love like you've never been hurt. Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. you just have to live life to the fullest, tell someone what they mean to you and tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, fall asleep watching the sun come up, stay up late, be a flirt, and smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love and most of all, live in the moment because every second you spend angry or upset is a second of happiness you can never get back.

I CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY!
