my mountainoh how time flies...another season, gone so quickly. well....feels like it. i lay here in bed and i'm thinking...2008. what have i accomplished so far? last year went by so fast i have to think hard about certain events in my life that made a difference. now i'm thinking...did i even enjoy the ride? i don't really know. one day i'm happy and didn't have a care in the world, the next day i'm sad like something sucked the life out of me.
they say life is a big rollercoaster ride. well, i don't like rollercoasters to begin with. nothing is constant. you're up then you're down. over and over again....never went to magic mountain...never liked the falling sensation.
others say that life is what you make it.
***i'm still laying here...typing and listening to country radio at the same time. yes...i love country music. my best friend doesn't understand why, but it actually makes me...happy. and here's what i'm listening to:
so small by carrie underwood
" Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing
Is just a grain of sand And what you've out there searching for forever Is in your hands And then you figure out love is all that matters after all It sure makes everything else Oh, it sure makes everything else seem So small after listening to this, of course i had to get the video
 i realized that yes, truthfully, 2007 was a bit of a blur now. a real rollercoaster ride. it still is. but when will i stop? how does this end? what happened to the girl who would throw caution to the wind and say "yeah. let's go. whatever whatever!" who the heck hid the cruise control switch?!??! the problem is...i realized...the little things do matter to me, a lot of it. but from those stems out a whole bunch of other things, and then i end up making a mountain out of something o small. i wish i can say "it is what it is" and leave it at that and move on. but that's not the case. i brood over it...lay out my thinking lab until i explode. then i end up hurting the people i love...i end up hurting myself.
so did i enjoy the ride?...not so much i guess. i have never worried so much...loved so much...and got hurt so bad. i missed all the little things along the way....i was ungrateful. that makes it even worse. i went to work because it's a "job", but never grateful that i have one anyway. to love someone in the truest sense of the word, and yet i feel like it's not enough...and when things didn't go my way i'd have "words" about it, but never "well, at least i had..." i don't mean to sound like i 've never appreciated anything my entire life. but when i get to the point where i'm so burned out of just about everything...my initial reaction is, wat about ME?
"And worrying about all the wrong things
Time's flying by, moving so fast You better make it count cause you can't get it back Sometimes that mountain you've been climbing Is just a grain of sand" time to get myself out of this rollercoaster. i should stop...and just smell the flowers. life's too short. sometimes i just need to remind myself that i am the captain of my vessel. now where's the damn cruise control?!?!?  End Of The Worldthis never gets old in my book...
 What's You Favorite TV Commercial?i was over at zodiacchild's space and heard the music.....omigod i had such a kick. the first time i heard that song was from a car commercial:
remember this??? whenever i heard dirty vegas i just wanted to get up and do that funky dance!
i told grace that it's one of those things...when you hear it, you just have to pause.so....hokay...this used to be my favorite commercial, eons ago. but currently:
this makes me smile whenever it's on. oh! and all of the amex commercials.

Forever FriendsThank you Ellen!!!! Quote 'tis better to go through life poor than alone Hot ChocolateA group of graduates, well established in their careers, were talking at a reunion and decided to go visit their old university professor, now retired. During their visit, the conversation turned to complaints about stress in their work and lives.
Offering his guests hot chocolate, the professor went into the kitchen and returned with a large pot of hot chocolate and an assortment of cups - porcelain, glass, crystal, some plain looking, some expensive, some exquisite - telling them to help themselves to the hot chocolate. When they all had a cup of hot chocolate in hand, the professor said:
"Notice that all the nice looking, expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the plain and cheap ones. While it is normal for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the source of your problems and stress. The cup that you're drinking from adds nothing to the quality of the hot chocolate. In most cases it is just more expensive and in some cases even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was hot chocolate, not the cup; but you consciously went for the best cups... And then you began eyeing each other's cups. Now consider this: Life is the hot chocolate; your job, money and
position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold and contain life. The cup you have does not define, nor change the quality of life you have. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the hot chocolate God has provided us. God makes the hot chocolate, man chooses the cups. The happiest people don't have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything that they have. Live simply. Love generously. Care deeply.  |
