Myspace For Girls Only - MyGirlySpace.com the truth is... - JANUARY 2007-
MY FAMILY- mom, dad and brother- my inspiration, my motivation and my drive.
RESOLUTION/GOAL for 2007: Make it better than 2006- then again, 2006 sucked so bad that it shouldn't take alot for me to top it...(laughing to self)
On a more serious note- get myself back into the groove of things with going back to school, making new friends- basically, just making my new life in So. Cal work for me and the people in my life and those that I meet along the way.
I have a new passion- snowboarding- thanks to my coach, amongst other things, Ron. I haven't mastered it but i gaurantee that I will be there, one day, on the mountains, just gliding away! *lol* For now, Mammoth and Big Bear, the more local mountains, will increase my skills until I can get over to Tahoe once again!But overall... I'm excited for 2007- I'm moving to Buena Park before January is over.. I've met such amazing people in the past 4 months... I have a job with a 7a-4p schedule... my family is healthy and doing very well... I'm headed back into school... bills are getting paid... I get out more than I'd like to =P... and I can honestly say that I'm happy- it took me some time but I'm finally where I need to be- and to all of you who gave up on me- BOO YOU!!! Shame on you so-called friends =/... but on the real, through all the ups and downs, I consider myself very blessed. And to all of you who stuck around, thank you so much for your undying love and support... you are all truly amazing people to put up with my craziness, mi vida loca life. lol. **MUAH***
YOU LEARN
By: Veronica A. Shoffstall
After awhile you learn the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul and you learn that
love doesn't mean possession and company doesn't mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises and you begin to accept
your defeats with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of an adult not the grief of a child.
And you learn to build your roads today
because tomorrow's ground is too uncertain for plans
and futures have ways of falling down in mid-flight.
After awhile you learn that even sunshine
burns if you get too much so you plant your
own garden and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
that you really are strong and you really do have worth...
and you learn...
and you learn...THE GREATEST ADVICE -Rick Warren, the
Purpose Driven Life
Don't date because you are desperate.
Don't marry because you are miserable.
Don't have kids because you think your genes are
superior.
Don't philander because you think you are
irresistible.
Don't associate with people you can't trust.
Don't cheat. Don't lie. Don't pretend.
Don't dictate because you are smarter.
Don't demand because you are stronger.
Don't sleep around because you think you are old
enough & know better.
Don't hurt your kids because loving them is harder.
Don't sell yourself, your family, or your ideals.
Don't stagnate!
Don't regress.
Don't live in the past. Time can't bring anything or
anyone back.
Don't put your life on hold for possibly Mr. Right.
Don't throw your life away on absolutely Mr. Wrong
because your biological clock is ticking.
Learn a new skill.
Find a new friend.
Start a new career.
Sometimes, there is no race to be won, only a
price to be paid for some of life's more hasty
decisions.
To terminate your loneliness, reach out to the
homeless.
To feed your nurturing instincts,care for the needy.
To fulfill your parenting fantasies, get a puppy.
Don't bring another life into this world for all the
wrong reasons.
To make yourself happy, pursue your passions &
be the best of what you can be.
Simplify your life. Take away the clutter.
Get rid of destructive elements: abusive friends,
nasty habits, and dangerous liaisons.
Don't abandon your responsibilities but don't
overdose on duty.
Don't live life recklessly without thought and feeling
for your family.
Be true to yourself.
Don't commit when you are not ready.
Don't keep others waiting needlessly.
Go on that trip. Don't postpone it.
Say those words. Don't let the moment pass.
Do what you have to, even at society's scorn.
Write poetry.
Love Deeply.
Walk barefoot.
Dance with wild abandon.
Cry at the movies.
Take care of yourself. Don't wait for someone to
take care of you.
You light up your life.
You drive yourself to your destination.
No one completes you - except YOU.
It isn't true that life does not get easier with age.
It only gets more challenging.
Don't be afraid. Don't lose your capacity to love.
Pursue your passions.
Live your dreams.
Don't lose faith in God.
Don't grow old. Just grow YOU!
When you give someone your time, you are giving
them a portion of your life that you'll never get back.
Your time is your life.
That is why the greatest gift you can give to
someone is your time.
Relationships take time and effort, and the best
way to spell love is
T-I-M-E because the essence of love is not what
we think or do or provide
for others, but how much we give of ourselves.
God is good all the time!To live content with small means;
to seek elegance rather than luxury;
and refinement rather than fashion;
to be worthy, not respectable; and
wealthy, not rich; to study hard, think
quietly, talk gently, act frankly; to listen
to stars and birds, to babes and sages,
with open heart; to bear all cheerfully,
do all bravely, await occasion, hurry
never; in a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious grow up
through the common.
This is to be my symphony."
-William Henry Channing
"I would rather be ashes than dust!
I would rather that my spark should
burn out in a brilliant blaze than it
should be stifled by dry rot. I would
rather be a superb meteor, every
atom of me in magnificent glow, than
a sleepy and permanent planet.
The proper function of man is to live,
not to exist. I shall not waste my days
in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time."
-Jack London
"I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don"t rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what"s going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity."
"Judgmentalism assumes that you have the right to change someone else. Well, you don't. You only have the right to choose how you will change and behave. Trust others to make their own choices. Put the accountability for another's actions where it belongs, on the other person's shoulders.
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way. The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past; you can't go forward in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.
