A Moment in My Mind
When I lay in bed at night, I tend to think about everything under the sun and moon. Here are some examples;
What it would be like if I won the 649, who would I take care of and who would I forget.
When I have my children what will I name them, will I be like my parents, and would I be a good mom.
What would my life be like if I moved away and would my life be the same when I came back?

Try to understand how and why at this age my life is not what I planned it to be.
Do I have a sign on my head that says to the nearest asshole that I enjoy being shit on.
Have that dream lover that you think about every night and say good night to, you picture your soap like romance. This is almost better than the real thing.
And so on, I could sit here all day telling you the wild things I picture in my mind. I swear I should have written romance novels, I'm sure they would be best sellers. The thing is you sit here and wish and hope and pray that you life will pick up, that is will change for the better. But we are missing one crucial part... We have our lives, we have the power to make even the shittest existence become something beautiful. I learned that this week, your life can be cut short with a blink of an eye, so why sweat the small stuff. I may not be that picture perfect girl that I want to be, the job I have may not be some big shot executive job, and I my vacations do not consist of trips to Europe. What I am is plain girl next door that someday, someone will not be able to live without, and I will have my family and my fairytale ending. Everything I do in-between is an adventure, something to tell the grandkids…
Have a Happy Easter... Please take care of yourselves.....
Ancient Egyptians believed that upon death they would be asked two questions and their answers would determine whether they could continue their journey in the afterlife. The first question was, "Did you bring joy?" The second was, "Did you find joy?"
