Open your Eyes and Take a Deep Breath

Really Open your Eyes-Take in everything around you, light, shadows, objects, stillness, open your ears- and what do you hear? Birds? People? Silence? It could be any number of things. The point is, it's an awareness, an awareness you overlook, the simple beauty in life that makes it so wonderful, the little things that make you smile. Simply becoming aware- aware of your surroundings; aware of how you really feel?! I know you 've already gotten out of bed if you're reading this, so tomorrow, why not try jumping out of bed and doing a crazy little dance. Get your body moving, loosen up a little, smile, giggle, laugh, feel good, know that today is going to be a great day, simply because.... you can make it that way-

LIVE In the moment, put meaning into all you do, because I MUST REMIND YOU OF A SIMPLE FACT WE ALL FORGET... whether you like it or not, Everyone will die, it is part of life, SO why not start out today by really LIVING?! Put more meaning into your life, do things with all your heart. Call a friend or family memeber and catch up- tell them how much they mean to you. Do something good for someone else. Put meaning and thought into your lunch time conversation, smell a flower and really think about how it makes you feel, or the beauty of it's sight. Say thank you and mean it, even for the little things people do, like holding doors...

You don't realize it but it is often the little things you do that make others smile as well. The nice comments, compliments, gestures, or acts of kindness, no matter how small they are-- they often make the biggest impressions on others lives.

JUST SOME little THINGS TO THINK ABOUT- HOPEFULLY THEY Will AT LEAST MAKE YOU SMILE! ...come on you know you want to.. even if it's just because you think I'm an optimistic fruit, a nut ball of positivity, I'm just freeing my spirit, loving life and wishing you would too!!! 1/2 smile?! Come on... a smirk at least- maybe a chuckle by now... or one of my grandma's knee slapping laughs with an added snort- hahaha (I'm gonna hear it for that one!)

AS FOR ME: Last night I went to this Little Tibetan Art Museum/Center and explored Tibetan Meditation. It was interesting, and I learned many new things, as well as many reoccurring thoughts that prevail in all the spiritual forms I've been exploring lately.

That peace of mind, a oneness with yourself and the universe, and being kind and gentle to others, are all core aspects of a more relaxed state, unity and peace for humanity, and self-development.

If you think about it, taking the time to relax yourself makes the world a better place. You walk around happier, with a smile on your face, more energy surging through your body, you take in more of your environment and others, you pass your positive energy onto others who are wondering what it is that has made you glow, and brings an astounded smile to their face, or a wondering that will lead them to search for something that will allow them to emulate that mood. You pass it on, and you do small acts of kindness, helping others with the smallest of burdens, a kind word, or just a smile and "good morning", soon everyone starts doing it... hehe corny but it's starting to make sense right?! Just try it, what's the worst that can happen?!

Give and you shall receive, even if it's only the pleasure of a positive outlook, or knowing you're improving humanity by passing on this SECRET! It's like a game, see how many people you can tag with your positivity. Tag your It! :-)


Hope All is Well in EVERYONE'S LIVES!!

lOVE:: always & forever

U r truly AMAZING girl. Sorry I didn't get back on last nite after Matthew ranked on u, but I was so tired and falling on my face frm everything going on. However, I did hear everything he was telling u & I was cracking up bec. most of it was SO FREAKIN FUNNY and the TRUTH of the matter is that he does it just to piss u off, the same way he does to me bec. he TRULY LOVES AND MISSES YOU!!! He told me that when u guys hung up and I told him that u r coming up soon and maybe he should tell u that himself. My parents miss u too and when my father reads some of yr blogs,(maybe a sentence here and there bec. I don't have to tell u what his 73 year old life is like, he is flawed. He says we should forward it to "SHITHEAD" and say this is who u forced out of yr. son'w life U A - ----!!! Any way , Keep up the good work and I'n so excited 4 u abt Ketchup promoting the jeans and the energy drink and doing the Crhoicle and the summer and just ALL OF IT!!! YOUR GONNA MAKE AIM, I know I sound like Mary Tylor Moore...just add the words "AFTER ALL" & sing them as yr. walking down the street (while yr. deep breathing and letting all that air deep into yr. throat(instead of what I told u to put there...Im' laughing so hard rt. now can't even type this) ...sing the Mary Tyloe Moore words and throw Y, new Pocketbook(the one I got u for yr, B-Day, even if it was a bit belated, or yr.hat if u happen to be wearing one, up in the air just the way I do at the end of my book w/ the pk-book cause as u WELL know, I don't DO HATS, AND KNOW THAT IT IS ALL TRUE!!! ALL OF IT!!!
SO DAMN PROUD OF U and I didn't teach u this; this, u had it in u all the time, in that crazy little,(maybe big in diameter) mixed up dark, distorted, jaded, guarded head of yours which was so filled w/ trepidation and unease. WELL, LOOK AT YOU NOW!!! I may have just helped u to recognize it, own it & put it out there. U DID THE REST YOURSELF...and even FAR surpassed me at this point; now look at who's helping who!!!
Love ya,
Yr. other 1/2
SEX IN TH CITY MAY 30TH (OPENING NITE) IS OUR NITE!!!
Oh, BTW, have u heard frm. Lindsey??? & ONE MORE IMPORTANT THING... U MUST CALL ME LATER, FORGORT TO TELL U ONE OF THE THINGS I WROTE TO "W" IN THE E-MAIL; U WILL DIE; DIDN'T THINK I HAD IT IN ME, ACTUALLY THAT'S BULLSHIT, I KNEW I DID: MY SON MAY BE THE BIGGEST PAIN IN THE A-- WALKING AND I KNOW U KNOW THAT...AND U LIVED IT, BUT NO-ONE COMES B4 HIM THE WAY HIS FATHER LET HAPPEN. IT'S THE REASON HE'S THIS WAY RIGHT NOW, ONE OF THEM ANYWAY; HE CAN'T FEEL THAT FROM HIS MOTHER TOO AIM...HE USE TO BE SO DIFFERENT...I MISS HIM, BUT I THINK I'M SLOWLY GETTING HIM BACK.
MISS YA, LOVE YA & SEE YA SOON!
