Realization

Do you ever have those moments when you realize that all your choices made up until this point have lead to where you are right now? I've been having those moments all week. Many people look back at their lives with regret...regret over choices made, opportunities not pursued, ended relationship...But what I have learned is that regret has no place in my life. I am thankful for lost opportunities, because they only lead to opportunities found. Sure, there are things I could've done thingsdifferently in my life...but where would I be right now had I made other choices? Could I be better off? Yes...but I could also be worse off...really it's 50/50 isn't it? So why do we often leach onto the idea that our lives might've been greater? -- Me, I like to believe that every choice I've made has lead me to the happiness I've found today. The hard times have made the good times easier...the sadness has made the happiness that much brighter.

Quote of the Day

"Love puts the fun in together...
the sad in apart...
the hope in tomorrow...
the joy in a heart."

Action Hero

You know those moments when you look at someone, and you realize how much you truly care about him/her? It may be your spouse, your sweetheart, your best friend, or a parent…but something inside you springs to life, and you’re filled with love for another…I urge you to put those feelings into words…Tell them!

Love is the most powerful action on earth…Be an action hero.

My family often questions the sanity of my choice to live in the city. It’s “too busy, too crowded, too noisy,” they say. What they don’t realize is that their excuses are my reasons for being here. I love the city life.

Having been raised in a valley on the outskirts of town (the closest bus stop was over a mile away!) The fact that I can step out of the stillness of my apartment and into the bustle is amazing to me.

My neighborhood is, quite simply put, perfect. At any given moment I can nap in a secluded garden, take in a show at the theater, sip a cappuccino at a corner shoppe, spend hours reading in the sunshine, disco the night away at a local hot spot, or take in the most beautiful view the city has to offer– And this is all within walking distance!

So ask…What’s not to love!?
