Dogs

Lyric:  "People throw rocks at things that shine..." Ours by Taylor Swift.  (Super cute vid by the way)

Walking my neighbor's dog today, I enjoyed observing how Lilly explored EVERYTHING as if it was something new and exciting, even if it was just her own yard.  It got me thinking how we-me-tend to have the opposite attitude:  Things are novel for a while, but it seems we sometimes soon lose interest and kind of take whatever it is for granted.  Personally, this is something about me that I really don't like. So my aspiration: to be more like a dog in the sense of treating everything as if it is something new and exciting. i.e., appreciating what I have and utilizing it.

Quirkle:  I hate how my voice sounds on recordings

Thankfuls: Good Music
People willing to do the right thing, even though it's hard.

Brightspots:  Walking into GEO to find my teacher with a wrapped box attatched to his head with ribbon and wearing wrapped boxes around his waist, held up by ribbon suspenders.  Literally made my day.

Lyric: I'm through with playing by the rules of someone elses game... I'm Through excepting limits, 'cause someone says they're so" Defying Gravity from the musical Wicked
Actually this whole song is just fantastic; I reeeeaaaally want to see this performed.

So the family has run away to Oklahoma, and I am here as statistics will not allow me to miss any days whatsoever xp.  Four days with the house to myself....oh boy! hehehe  Me being the wild child I am, I'll probably spend it with a book bahahah.
I guess I really don't have a theme today....Though I really need to start exercising again.  I've lost weight (woot!) But I know it's physical activity that really make it look good, and me feel good.  It's just so hard! Ha!  I mustmustmust.....

Lyric:

Some days I just love people.  For example the tuition lady at school is awesome.  Sick and miserable and still hilarious.  I must strive to be more like this!!!
So one of my new goals, and this may sound a bit  hokey, is to be moe in tune with myself.  See I told you! Gosh I sound like a hippie...but what I mean by this is really know and understand what I may think about a certain person, thing or idea and not let others dictate my opinion on the matter.  At the same time, I want to be open minded and willing to change my mind, but in a nutshell, bot let others biases determine if I like it or not.

Quirkle: Clutter irritates me, but I am NOT a neat freak at all...what?

Alright I have some somberish thoughts but I'm going to try to add an upbeat/encouraging note as well so lets see what I can do.
Today I found out that one of my childhood friends has been missing for 3 days.  I don't talk to her anymore and haven't for a long time, but it's still frightening and very sobering.  Appreciate what you have and love those around you because there are no guarantees.  Hoping Leah is alright and remembering her...
Okey now to try for happier things...
Worked out for the 2nd day in a row....woah! x)

This is just a post about Leah and info on her.  They say everylittle bit helps...
Leah Ludwig was last seen in Stratford Wisconsin at a club she was working at -Teasers. She left the club telling her friend she was leaving with a guy named Jeff to get some money and would be right back. She never returned and has been missing for 3 days. She was last seen driving a Purple Dodge Grand Caravan. She was wearing a black knee length coat with a whit scarf and black boots with fur on... top. Leah is 5'7, 95 pounds, white, blonde medium length hair, and blue eyes with an implanted diamond by her right eye. If you have seen her or have any information regarding her whereabouts please contact your local police department.

Snowwww is everywhere!!

Lyric: "Oh no I've said to much, I haven't said enough." Losing My Religion- R.E.M. but posted because of Dia Frampton's cover, which I am completely in love with.

Worked out at work today(the new job referenced in thankfuls) and man it is hard work!!   Is it weird that I am hoping I'll be sore tomorrow?? Solely for the reason that it will have meant that I worked out hard!!  If you want it you gotta work for it; Most definitely the truth.  And that is the base of my thought today:  That dream job, those rock hard abs, that dream guy, whatever you want to achieve, it isn't going to come for free and there's never a guarantee it will be easy.   But if you want it bad enough, you'll find a way to make it happen.  In the end, all the hard work and long hours you put in will make your accomplishment that much sweeter.  "Never let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game." -A Cinderella Story.  The fear of failure or rejection is always on our minds because everyone HATES the feeling that accompanies it.  But if we allow that fear to become the dominant emotion, we hold ourselves back from fantastic possibilities.
