i don't understand why its SO easy to get down on yourself, or to look at the negatives in life when looking at the positive not only feels better, but it brings out the best part of you. things are rough at times, you'll find that sometimes it seems like you won't be able to make it through but i can promise you that, that isn't entirely true. life is too short to waste it on looking at the negative in everything. so you had a bad day... so what? the person to your left will have one tomorrow, move forward and enjoy life. you'll miss those that aren't in your life as much anymore, you'll regret things you've done in the past, and you'll waste time crying about something that can't and won't ever change. but dwelling on those things won't make a difference. nothing will change unless YOU change. 'see the positive through the negative' because although that may seem impossible at times, there's always opportunity and there's always a lesson learned brought out of any situation. smile, move on and depend on the good things in life, they are what make it worth while, be positive and CELEBRATE.
my parents celebrated being married for 27 years yesterday, now i don't know about you, but to me that's pretty remarkable.
i'm so blessed.
i was raised by two of the most humble, loving, yet tough, and stubborn people and to say that they inspire my marriage, and push me to fight for what i want in this life is an understatement.
they have that kind of love that you thrive for, that you need and luckily for me, i found that at age 14.
my parents too, met at a young age and fell in love and to this day fall more and more in love with each other, and they don't have to tell me that either. i see it, i feel their love when they hold hands at the movies, or simply look at each other, hell even when i sneak over to their house for some family bonding only to find my mom is snoring my dad in, while they sleep.
momma -
-- i love that you still make dad kiss you before he goes to work and right before bed each night.
-- i love that you taught me to fight for what i want, and to never give up.
-- i love that you still sing "families can be together forever" every time anyone is fighting.
-- i love that you're my bestest girl friend. i tell you everything, and you never judge me for it.
-- i love that you would do anything for anyone, including people that you hardly know.

-- i love that you took me on road trips growing up and introduced me to rock & roll
-- i love that you allow me to be your little girl.
