And this still feels funny……do people really spill all the beans to the random universe? I guess it will take time to warm up to the idea of putting my life down into words for others to read, judge, and become addicted to! Anyone reading this?!?! Hello is this thing on *tap tap*……..hmmm ok well lets see the activity of the day: I actually got around to assembling my invitations so they could go out sometime this year and what a pain in the ass for a perfectionist. As I figure this blogging thing out I will post pictures of the process of planning the most stressful event of a lifetime.
Ok I am guessing if you all have a blog you have also been suckered into myspace…which can become highly addictive since you can track people down and peek into their lives without them knowing especially all those people you went to high school with. Reminiscing back to that age when you have your whole life waiting for you and at my age you still have a chance, but things have been defined, hearts have been broken, backs have been stabbed, you have met failure eye to eye, and you don’t have the naivity that allowed you to think anything was possible. Sometimes I long for those days so I could start all over and do things right, but what is right anyway? In all of the drama I have encountered in my life I have maintained my positivity because thats what truly defines me. I once got the best advice I have ever gotten from the strangest source an airheadish hot surfer did I mention he was hot: he explained to me that pain was like holding shattered glass in your hand and you had two choices 1. you could choose to hold on to it and squeeze it tighter in your hand only to have it cut you deeper or 2. open your hand, release it, and not allow it to cut you anymore……such profound words that shaped the way I would deal with pain and defeat.
My words of wisdom for the day: if you can release pain, hurt, anger, disappointment, and those things that blacken your heart, your soul can shine like a clear prism allowing all the colors of beauty that life has to offer to shine through you and in turn you can touch someone elses life.
Happy Tuesday!!
Wow, that’s deep. Thanks so much for all you do. In the words of Bette Middler, “you are the wind beneath my wings”!
