Woke up..

Have you ever felt like you were “waking up” in your life….I mean like you had kind of been just going through motions of work, and family, and life in general and you really don’t know how long you were out of it?

Well in the last week or so I feel like I have awakened from a deep sleep. Like that I went to lie down on the couch to watch TV and am finally getting up after months of snoozing. It’s an odd feeling…I am turning 26 in a few weeks, and am like, wow... How did that happen? This year flew by. I think that’s how I became so aware that I was out of it for a while.

So when that happens…when you feel like you have lost some time…It makes it all the more important to make the rest of your time more meaningful (more smiles, laughs, and kisses, etc.) And be true to YOU… I think that is one the biggest things…Our time is pretty short. Yea, 100 years seems like a long time, but when you think back on all that’s happened in America’s history and all the great explorers in history and before that through the Conquests, and plagues of Egypt, and the flood, and all the way back to Adam…our 100 years here is but a breath. We have just a short passing time here to show who we are, so why be someone else?

I remember one time I wore a pink and white “cowgirl” type skirt and some boots…I loved that skirt and those boots…and I only wore them to class once because people made fun of me…and still today I sometimes think of that day because I loved that outfit and I felt like me in it…So don’t let what others say about you or to you change who you are or what you want to make of yourself. If you want to rock some cowboy boots…rock ‘em! And just ignore what others have to say about it…we only have a short time here so we should enjoy it, and really, what should it matter to anybody else what you wear? I am at a point where there is no room in my life for things that bring me down…if it isn’t illegal or against my morals and brings a smile to my face, it’s probably worth it. So if you catch me in some off the wall outfit or something, keep your comments to yourself… I’m doing what works for me and God, so thank you, but frankly, what you think of my boots doesn’t matter to me.

Have a GOODloe Day!
