Stan Walker - Choose you (lyrics)

Love this.

Wishing you all a lovely New Year. Here is something I received in a forward from my Dadeo--Something to ponder: Something To Think About Imagine that you had won the following prize in a contest:Each morning your bank would deposit $86,400.00 in your private account for your use. However, this prize has rules, just as any game has certain rules. The first set of rules would be: Everything that you didn't spend during each day would be taken away from you. You may not simply transfer money into some other account. You may only spend it. Each morning upon awakening, the bank opens your account with another $86,400.00 for that day. The second set of rules:The bank can end the game without warning; at any time it can say, It's over, the game is over ! It can close the account and you will not receive a new one. What would you personally do? You would buy anything and everything you wanted right? Not only for yourself, but for all people you love, right? Even for people you don't know, because you couldn't possibly spend it all on yourself, right? You would try to spend every cent, and use it all, right? ACTUALLY This GAME is REALITY! Each of us is in possession of such a magical bank. We just can't seem to see it. The MAGICAL BANK is TIME! Each morning we awaken to receive 86,400 seconds as a gift of life, and when we go to sleep at night, any remaining time is NOT credited to us. What we haven't lived up that day is forever lost.Yesterday is forever gone. Each morning the account is refilled, but the bank can dissolve your account at any time...WITHOUT WARNING. SO, what will YOU do with your 86,400 seconds? Those seconds are worth so much more than the same amount in dollars.Think about that, and always think of this: Enjoy every second of your life, because time races by so much quicker than you think. So take care of yourself, beHappy, LoveDeeply and enjoy life! Here's wishing y'all a wonderfully beautiful day. Start spending.. .

Newbie.

2010 I will miss you.

I would have to say that 2010 has been my favorite year thus far.

There have been trials, hardships, and missing'-- questions, fears and hurts--. But there has also been so much more good. My heart is full of love for all that I have experienced.

Hugging my beautiful children in Bangladesh, drinking hot cocoa in Nepal with Jaybay, hiking the Patagonia's, late nights with my girlies, new job, new house, new bestie, new understanding, new memories.

I don't know if I am ready to leave 2010--but like always time ticks on. Experiences become memories long before I am ready--so I am stuck with photos and dreams--and new experiences which will become new memories.

In 2011 I want to savor each experience more--because soon all they will be are memories, photo's and once was.

So heres to a new year--full of savoring, appreciating and indulging in all the old and ordinary that I have let pass by.

2010 you are a sparkling year--I will always remember YOU!

I am ready to induldge in the unappreciated and embrace the little joys of life!

sometimes the truth hurts.

Ouch. Sometimes things you hear or say--need to be said--but they still sting a bit. The defenses are rearing and ready to guard--the tongue is ready to cut back--but the intentions of these words are nothing malicious. This morning was one of those mornings. A person I trust the most, told me somethings I really did not like hearing--constructive criticism, some may call it. We shared things that were not easy to share--not lovely or dovey--but concerns, hopes and pleas.

Sometimes things need to be said. Sometimes things need to be heard. But most times the way we say these things can use some fine tuning. I am all for open, honest communication--but I am also seeing the need for some tuning. Some need for caring about how we say what we have to say, to the people we love the most. And believe me--I should be first in line for a tune up.

Well Hello Christmas Break!

Finally sometime to sit and relax. To do the things I really enjoy. To sip hot cocoa early in the morning and contemplate life with my mother. To curl up by the fire and read a book. To craft with my sister, talk business and life with my father and catch up with friends. Oh I just adore being on Christmas break.

Today I am off to do some Christmas shopping! What is on your list?

P.S. I seem to have misplaced my phone :( If you are wanting to get ahold of me emaiL! :)

Three Finals down one to Go!!

I still miss them.

Many exciting things are happening in my life--its almost Christmas break--I have a new job--school is going well--but I still miss Bangladesh. Nothing here will completely fill my Bangladesh hole. In March it will be exactly a year since I have seen them--that is a year too long.

P.S. There isn't much I wouldn't give for 15 minutes to hug and love on these children.

mmmm mmmm mmm...

Im eating a Red Velvet Cupcake and it is Delish'~

I am feeling this:

Next week I have finals--

I should be stressed--I should be worried--

But I am not--I just dreaming about doing this:

Things Organized Neatly

My life feels like it could use a little order today--yet I just don't want it!

So I have settled myself with a compromise--order--but with some class.
