A Real Life Quote

This quote is on a plaque hanging in the coffee shop I frequent on my lunch breaks throughout the week. While it is featured in this picture on a rubber stamp, it still reads the same words that strike me every time I read them in Whats the Scoop (if your ever in Richmond Hill GA you should consider checking it out, order some homemade soup and meet the nice owner). Anyways, the words always fascinate me as I ponder over them, honestly its probably more like I over analyze considering that's one thing I seem to do quit well according to my friends. This fascination is due to the fact that while it is far too easy to say what a great quote this is and we would probably all admit it either gives us a warm fuzzy feeling or a sense of cynicism, it's also brutally true that most of us living here on this earth do the exact opposite... we regret the past, we worry about the future and we just float through the day wishing it to be over most of the time. How sad is this truly the case? Maybe we should do some serious analyzing of how we manage our lives and our thinking, even if it ends in over analyzing. At least we could then say we actually put some meaningful thought to it. God came to earth through his one and only son so that we might have abundant life. That is certainly worth some thinking time...

My Mom, my person

I think it is about time I live up to my promise of devoting a whole post to the declaration of my mom. Pretty much I always come down to saying she is amazing because that sums her up darn well. My mom is for me what Merideth and Christina, from Greys' anatomy, like to describe themselves as...eather other's "person," the one who understands them the most, no matter the turns in life. My mom just gets me, as I would hope for any child especially mother-daughter relationships. Sadly it is true that the people we humans can hurt the most are those whom we are closest. Unfortunatlely this is often the case in my life and even so, my mom is my person. She may have her upset moments with me but she still listens to me, helps me hash things out, gives me a shoulder to cry on, laughs with me (quit loudly I might add:) and shes absolutely fun to hang out with, our favorite pass time is to sit around and chill. So in short there truely are not enough words to describe how great my madre is, however I can honestly say that without her I would have never made it through all of the chaos written about in the previous posts. I owe her the biggest thank you of all! So...I love you mom, more than anything in this world. I thank God he blessed me with you! Love, your baby girl
