The days are flying, I'm actually losing track of my days.  For two days straight I thought it was Wednesday... until it finally was. The snow is melting and we had two days of 60 degree weather which has been nice, people are happier and I feel like the living are well... joining the living.  I'm trying to enjoy the days myself, cherish the little moments and not wish my life away for the weekend to get here.  I've been in such a rush lately that I know for a fact I am not living in the present.  I'm so busy planning ahead, thinking about my next move and what I can't let slip me by.  It's actually exhausting.  No wonder by nighttime I am beat and frankly not in the best of moods.  Mind racing can really get to one's heart.  I even cut back on caffiene in hopes of slowing my heart rate down.  (Thank God for Gevalia decaf by the way) All in all, I really need to slow the heck down.  

Sometimes things happen in life that make you realize it's time to do just that- slow down and to reflect on how even the most mundane moments in life are well...precious.  

Most of all, I need to remember whatever is due to come to me will come, I have to be patient. I have to concentrate on living in the present and stop thinking so much about the future, for fear this new year will pass me by.

And when people say that we look exactly alike I am flattered, for my mom is and always will be extremely beautiful.

Have you hugged your mommy lately?

Then there are the smaller things that one may forget about, the less obvious.  Kind of like little I-Messages to myself. Things such as:

I don't know why I took to this as much as I did.  I am definitely not one to intentionally burn bridges, or even speak my mind (no matter how brutal) in front of people I don't know well enough for that matter.  (I don't want to hurt people's feelings or start with them- why bother?)  But when I read this, I imagine a girl running, holding a fiery torch of some sort, swinging it all around her. She's clearing her path, getting rid of whatever is slowing her down.  Whether it be difficulties, people bringing her down or even her own insecurities.  It's fierce, brave and has a "nothing holding me back" kind of vibe to it.  It's inspirational to me- because whatever we may feel is in our way- whether it's sickness,  the stress of life or our own imperfections that we torture ourselves over, we have the power to overcome it.

Oh and I managed to stop and smell the roses....and sunflowers, daisies, etc.
You get it.
