Today

Today, another day.
Yesterday is gone, far, far away.
Tomorrow is not here yet, not even close-
don't have any idea what tomorrow will bring either.
Do I want to know, you ask?
Yes, of course I would like to know,
but will I know before tomorrow is here?
No I will not-
therefore, here I shall be, doing what today has brought me.

Can you honestly say, "I love you" to yourself and Mean it?

How many of us can honestly look in the mirror and say "I Love You" to the one staring back at you (you)? If I had to estimate a guess, I do not think it would be a whole lot of you. Though I think you might think you can and do love yourself, but come on. Are you content with the way you are? You wouldn't change a thing about you? You like you, and accept you for who and what you are?
If you are one of these people that is content with yourself, to the point you would not change a thing, then kudos to you!
However, for the ones like myself, you are not very content at all with who we are, do not know ourselves or like ourselves very much, then we need to get moving. I have to say I am closer to liking "Me" more than I was three years ago, but I still have a long way to go, and I am not content with me yet. I still find myself comparing myself to others, trying to change who I am, how I look or wishing it.
It's not our faults that we are this way, that we are not content, that we do not like ourselves. It is society, the world, the media that makes us wish differently of how we think we want to be like.

The power of words,
to be able to write words on a piece of paper for all the world to see, what an experience it is!
Words give so much to others,
inspiration,
love,
saddness,
happiness,
anger,
whatever it may be, it's the power of words.
Words hold so much emotion in them,
to have that much power, has I hold the pen and jot words down on paper, what an experience.

Be yourself, don't worry about what others want you to be; It is your life-live it and be happy doing it.

The long haul, the journey of a lifetime-self-discovery, one journey that should never be given up on. Stay true to yourself, stay on the journey to the end, no matter how hard it is. No one ever said it was going to be an easy task to conquer.

Dream big, dream now, dream always. Don't ever stop dreaming those dreams-dreams are what keeps us moving foward in our own lives.

I just don't feel waking up in the mornings anymore,
then I hear your voice, see your smile,
I see you holding your hand out, for mine to take yours,
you are there by my side, to guide me through the day,
to give me the strength when I cannot find my own.
You promise me that all my days will not be this hard,
but these days will not disappear forever.

You are my angel, the one by my side,
to help me through the day, to help through the night.
You are my angel.

Looking back...Looking ahead...Looking at today.
Living in the past, wishing for tomorrow to come, but what about today?
No more living in the past, no more living for tomorrow, only living for today.
Living through others, wishing to be like them, why? I am just as good as they are.
No one is really better than another, only different.
The past is yesterday, tomorrow hasn't come yet, today is here and now. Live today, whether it's a bed of roses, or a bed of poop, it is the day that was dealt to you, tomorrow is another day, in the meantime though, live today to the fullest.

I am me

I am me. I was made who I am. Some may not like who I am, but I do not care.
I am not out to please those people, I am out to please myself.
I am who I am. I can strive to for improvement, and I shall do just that, but not to better than others,
but to be better than me, who I was in the past.
To make me stronger, physically and emotionally, to improve the old me, an updated version.
I am me.
If you do not like it, than do not stick around.
If you shall stick around, than accept who I am,
what I am,
how I am.
I am me.
I am content with who I am.
I love me.
It is ok to be me. It is ok to love me.
It does not matter what others think.
Do not worry about what other people are doing,
or not doing.
What is important is how I feel, and what I am doing.
It is ok to make mistakes, learn from them and move on.
If I am too tired to do something, then don't do it.
It's ok to take a break and not do something.

The realization...

Twenty-five years later and finally thinking and possibly realizing why I am here and you are not. I do not know still, why He took you but I think understand what He was trying to do for me. It only took me twenty-five years to figure that out. I guess, it's better that I figured it out now rather than never, huh?

Sometimes we go through this life never realizing anything, nevermind the reasons and purposes; therefore, when that "light bulb" moment comes along, you just have to grasp at it and go with it. It may take another twenty-five years for me to realize something else in my life and hopefully I'll be here and be able to embrace it and accept it whole heartedly and in full capacity.

There is a reason and purpose behind all HIS decisions in our lives.

life is like an algebraic equation

life is like an algebraic equation.
there is always an unknown variable. 
we always know x,
but do not know y. 
wanderer by  nature.
traveler by choice.
why can't I stay in one place?
why can't I be satisfied in one place?
deserve to be happy,
wandering around,
place to place.

Run, Run far, far away...
they say we can't run,
I say why not, who's to stop us?
Who's to say it won't help, or work?
For some of us, that might be the solution,
to keep from hurting, and hurting others.
Run, far, far away...

Dear Mr. President:

Why is it so hard for all who are serving in Congress to agree? Why is that while running for office, you all make promises and then do not keep most of them?
Mr. president, how can you sleep at night, knowing that there are people  out here who cannot sleep because they have no place to sleep? 
How can you sleep, knowing there are folks who cannot put food on the table, because they have to pay the rent or mortgage? They have to make the choice to either go hungry for a day or more or be homeless. 
Seems like you all are more worried about keeping your statuses in check, and worrying about the welfare of other countries. I say, help the United States first and foremost. Yes, it is a shame that there are others who are in worse shape then we are, but unfortunately most of them do not really want our help, and/or not very appreciative of our help. 
I understand that you are trying to bring the troops home and end the wars, but personally I do not believe it is very sensible to spend all our time and money on that. There will always be a terrorist, there will always be natural disasters, there will always be someone getting killed; we cannot save the world.
I miss you.
Sometimes I feel like I am healing, then  a setback occurs.
I miss you mom, calling you, telling about what is going on in my life,
hearing your voice, 
hearing you laugh.
I miss you telling me what I should do, as opposed to what I want to do.
Some call it nagging, and I probably did too, once or twice; however, now i call it a mother's love.
I wish you were here still among the living,
I think at times I can't go on without my mom, then I hear your voice, or see you in my dreams at night, and I know then you are okay, and I will be okay in time.
Focus on what you can do, not what you cannot do.
The things you think you can't do, is just because you have not tried it yet.
If it seems too hard to do, it is just more rewarding when accomplished.
The easy stuff is okay, but it's the challenging stuff that makes us stronger.

A free spirit.
Like an eagle who flies.
Free like the wind beneath the wings.
A free spirit.
Free.
Comfortable within.
Comfortable without.
 
Focus on each minute that is brought to you, each day. For the next minute is unknown until it brought.
