Live Life To The Fullest

With all the celebrity death this week...Ed McMahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and now Billy Mays, and someone dying in my family, it started me thinking about LIFE. Suddenly, all the little things that we complain about everyday mean nothing and how every minute I spend with my daughter, my boyfriend, my family and friends should be cherished because you never know when your minutes will run out. It might be corny or obvious to some, but I believe the world is made up of people just trying to "get through the day" instead of enjoying each one that comes...and that's sad.

I'm not being hypocritical. I am just as guilty of letting everyday life get in the way of living...the bills, money, the driver who cut me off yesterday, the driver who couldn't find the gas pedal when I was in a rush to get to my next destination on my to-do list, the laundry that needs to get done, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. No one is saying to ignore all of your everyday responsibilities, but stop for a moment and enjoy the fact that...your still breathing!

Any day above ground is a good day!

With that, I need to take my own advice and enjoy today. Enjoy the fact that the sun is trying to come out and it's NOT raining! That in and of itself is reason to celebrate! If you live in New York, you would completely understand! Enjoy the fact that it's Sunday and I'm healthy and I have people in my life that care about me and I have people to care about.

So today, take a moment to be grateful you're alive and for all that you do have in your life. Your life may not be perfect...in fact...I can probably bet it's not...no one's is. But it's your life and you still have it to live and that is something to be grateful for today. Focus on the good, not the bad and see how much better you feel.

I promise...it works!!!

Till tomorrow...SMILE!!! It increases face value!!!

The Start of Something Great!

As you will see in my profile, I started this blog as a creative outlet to vent about life and share my experiences...the good, the bad, and the ugly. I then realized that this would serve a much greater purpose...to communicate in a real, down-to-earth way my opinions and reviews of life and all that is part of it. It is an umbrella for life revelations, obeservations, product reviews and everyday humor you find in the little things.

In this day and age, I believe everyone needs a little inspiration and humor...I know I do. Let's face it, times are hard, the ecconomy is bad, celebrities are dying and the rain in New York hasn't stopped for a day in June! It's depressing! I wanted to create a community where people can comment and share their experiences and I can supply some happiness and new information to the monotony of everday life.

I want to bring you new ideas, new ways of thinking, new music and art, new books, and just some NEW to the mondane and everyday. Do something different today.

So for all of those people who want to a bright side, a laugh, a smile, or just a new way of thinking...I look forward to starting this journey with you. It will be a great ride.
