Gratitude

“Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough.” – Oprah Winfrey As you probably already know, life has a way of making it easy to forget all the incredible things we already have when we’re putting so much focus on the things we don’t have… Sometimes I catch myself falling into a zone where all I can think about are the things I want and have no way of obtaining anytime soon; it makes me feel hopeless.   However, there are times where I literally had to look at the clock and tell myself that at this very moment, I have EVERYTHING I could ever need…and usually I remind myself of how grateful I should be for my health, my family and the people who I am surrounded by daily.   I couldn’t imagine how life would be without my friends, my roommates and my co-workers…my job… I just feel the more I count my blessings, the less there is to be upset about.

Puppy Love

This is how I know I’m aging… Its interesting looking back and realizing how I have changed. (probably similar to the way many have.) One thing I have developed is patience.   Five years ago I wouldn’t have had the patience for children or animals…basically anything that required my assistance or attention.   For instance, when I’m hanging out with my five-year-old cousin, I don’t mind getting her dressed before me or how slow she takes with certain things. Lol Actually, I find I enjoy being able to help this little person:-)  Now a days, I have this nurturing tendency where I feel like I need to take care of someone or something! Lol   I think this is the main reason why I want a puppy :-D  I just want to be able to share loving energy and take care of something :-)

When I started working on my newest song, I wanted so badly to have something good to say, but if I did, my lyrics wouldn’t be true and I’m all about writing my life experiences.  I’m not trying to sound like a downer, because I’m not, but it seriously gets to the point where I start to wonder if something like love and stuff even exist for me.  I mean, I know it exist in the world because I see people around me who share it– I guess you can say that those peoples happiness are the ones who are giving me hope. See, up until recently, I thought a good relationship between two people was one where you weren’t being hit or cussed at.  With that being said, my standards were never high and so I never really knew how I should have been treated and what I w
