I'm in love

With this kid! The one in the blue shirt. I want one like him (someday).

... Guess I should move to New Zealand. Probably. Or just somewhere with adorable little accents.



I honestly just watched it six times. "Aw, come on mate. Do it yourself."

Words of Wisdom

My best friend Rebecca (my BF4E) has this quote she has shared on her blog/facebook/wherever. She loves it. And I've always liked it, but I thought about it out of nowhere yesterday and it has even more meaning to me now.

"There comes a time in your life, when you walk away from all the drama and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who make you laugh. Forget the bad, and focus on the good. Love the people who treat you right, pray for the ones who don't. Life is too short to... Be anything but happy!!! Falling down is a part of life, getting back up is living."

Genius. I love every line of it. And I realized yesterday just how good some people in my life are - and they are the ones I want to surround myself with....Even when they might make me cry instead of laugh. Because they can help me get back up when I do fall down, and life is too short to not have amazing people in your life, influencing you for the better.

One Skip Ahead of My Doom

When I thought about writing this blog posts, for some reason One Step Ahead from Disney's Aladdin popped into my head. Random. (The post title is from this song.)

I guess it doesn't seem quite so weird when I explain that my prevailing thought at this moment is "One Step At a Time." And . . . now the Jordin Sparks song is playing in my mind. It's true in so many ways. When I think about my education, I have to remind myself to just take it one step at a time. Same with my future. And the concept/mantra applies to so much in life!

I feel like people are always saying "Once you take that first step, it gets easier." And I guess that's true a lot of the time. But what people don't tell you is that sometimes the first step is not only hard to take, but it's hard to handle. And sometimes it doesn't get any easier. It takes "one step at time" repeated over and over and over and over before it actually gets easier. It's an interesting thought to me.

And maybe I've still got a lot of steps to take with my education/future career before I reach that end goal, but every step is in the forward direction. As long as that's the case, I guess it doesn't matter how many steps it takes - no matter what the situation.

Pick-Me-Up

I have this friend. He is super nice and super great, and I just think he is the greatest. I haven't talked to him much lately, but he made my day tonight by calling me and just talking to me. I was feeling sort of sorry for myself before he called (oops!), and talking to him was just exactly what I needed.


I love having friends who can just out of the blue make your day. It's one of those little treats of life that we sometimes don't notice or really appreciate fully until you have a reason to take notice. I'm so happy I could notice tonight that I have an awesome friend. :) And that life is just awesome.


Yay friends!
