My New Philosphy

These are words of wisdom from a sweet 92 year old lady:

Life isn't fair, but it's still good. When ever you're in doubt, just take the next small step.

Life is too short to wast time hating anyone.

When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.

Make peace with your past so it won't mess up your present.

It's OK to let your children (or loved ones) see you cry.

Don't compare your life to others because you have no idea what their journey is all about.

Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.

When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.

Be eccentric now.

Don't wait for old age to wear purple.

No one is in charge of your happiness but you.

Frame every so-called disaster with these words, "In five years, will this matter?"

Forgive everyone for everything.

What other people think of you is none of your business.

However good or bad a situation is, it will change.

Don't take yourself so seriously, no one else does.

Believe in miracles. They are waiting everywhere.

Show up and make the most of it now.

Growing olds beats the alternative.

All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.

Get outside everyday.

If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's, we'd grab ours back.

Envy is a waste of time.

No matter how you feel, get up, get dressed, and show up.

Remember, that friends are the family that we choose for our selves.

Grateful for Free Things

My sister got a whole bunch of makeup and samples from Sephora. She didn't like how they looked on her and told me I should try them because they would look better on someone with darker skin.

So I got this awesome Josie Maran Argan Infused Eyeshadow quad

I got a sample of this foundation. I love the color and how well it covers.

I also got a sample of this Pink Sugar perfume. It kind of smells like cotton candy to me. So good!

I also got a tube of Josie Maran lipstick. I love the shade, I believe it is called "birthday suit".

I got a bunch of other samples which I am excited to try. Like this perfume "jasmin noir"

Can you say major score? I think so. .

Grateful for Faith

I am grateful for this knowledge

I lived in heaven a long time ago, it is true; Lived there and loved there with people I know. So did you. Then Heav’nly Father presented a beautiful plan, All about earth and eternal salvation for man.

Father said he needed someone who had enough love To give his life so we all could return there above. There was another who sought for the honor divine. Jesus said, “Father, send me, and the glory be thine.”

Jesus was chosen, and as the Messiah he came, Conquering evil and death through his glorious name, Giving us hope of a wonderful life yet to be— Home in that heaven where Father is waiting for me.

Jobs-Happy Thanksgiving

I am grateful to have a job at the bank. I have worked there since April of 2007 and I have been able to work through and pay for all of my school. I do meet crazy, naive, people, and sometimes people are even rude, but that's what makes it interesting. Tuesday, I saved some 19 year old girl from an internet scam. Long story short, If someone sends you a money and you haven't done anything to earn money, don't deposit the check and wire it someplace out of the country. I have learned about the whole banking process and how important it is to keep track of your money. I am grateful that I at least got the day off of work, less grateful that I work all day tomorrow. I am earning money, so there will be a smile on my face.

Thanksgiving Break

I am grateful I finally get to enjoy my break from school. I am so happy to have my research paper on Autism and music therapy finished. I am pretty proud. I felt good about my presentation for the most part. Mainly I am proud of the fact that wrote it before the night before the due date.

Thanksgiving Con'td

Because I was born with complications, I am grateful everyday of my life that I am healthy.
I know I am short (people are so generous to remind me of that fact, as if I'd forgotten) and I have big feet. However, I have eyes that can see, legs that get me around, a healthy heart, and a pretty impressive immune system if do say so. In general I am blessed to have a body that works.

Thanksgiving

This week, I am going to make a list of things I am grateful for.

First, I am grateful for my parents.

They are the most generous people. My mom can help you out with pretty much anything, from getting groceries to proof reading a paper. I always call my dad if I have problems with my car or something goes wrong at my apartment.

They put up with me, even when I am obstinate or irresponsible, so I guess I'll keep them.
