Our Nation was like "Heck to the no! We are not going to put up with this!". Millions of people did their part, whether it was joining the Military, helping families with loses or just saying a prayer. Whatever it was, whatever we did, we were angry, motivated, standing together, and ready to fight back. For the first year or two I thought about it all the time. Sure there were reminders all over the place, but deep down I was still sincerely bummed out. Documentaries came out, books were published, and men and women were getting killed everyday fighting back. Fast forward five or six years.

Men and women are still getting killed everyday while defending our country. Documentaries about 9/11 are still being made, and books are still being published, but not like they were. Don't get me wrong, I think it is amazing that the people of our nation can heal and stand tall again. (I don't want to live in a moping and downtrodden Country) All I'm trying to get past, is that without many reminders, I haven't thought about, or been grateful for the people who are sweating to death overseas, fighting to make sure that I feel safe on my own turf.

I have decided I am going to try and think about them more often and just be thankful, because I sure have been taking them for granted. If any of you readers is or have/know somebody that is in the service, Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart!]]> Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:32:32 -0500
Have you ever just watched people? (you've probably seen a whole lot strange stuff) They are great. Sure there are SOOO many people that annoy the living crap out of me, but they also make me smile. For instance, loudtalkers anyone? It's especially annoying when they are all "cool" with their bluetooth, but Mr. Bluetooth usually says something that cracks me up that I would not have heard unless he was a loudtalker. (see what I'm getting at?) I guess what I am trying to say is I appreciate all people. We work hard, (most of us...) we can come together and adapt in all sorts of conditions (again, most of us...) and we all need some sort of interaction with each other to live a sane and happy life. (I have to say yet again, most of us)

I encourage you to try and see one person in a different light sometime in the next two days. (like the person that annoys the living crap out of you) Look at them differently, listen with a different view and you just might see or hear something that makes you smile..... a good loving smile, not a mean make fun of you smile, mind you. Just don't take any one person(anybody at all) for granted, because once you have interacted with them they are forever a part of your life!

Sorry, I feel this is kind of choppy, but I wanted to get it out.

I'm glad I got to be a kid (I don't think I would be here if I wasn't. Hey magic is strong stuff.... just kidding.... I think) because thinking back about those care and stress free days helps me to slow down and put my focus back on what's really important. I by no means want to be a kid again. I love where I'm at and can't wait to see what life serves me next. But my childhood experiences made me the independent and growing person that I am today. So just slow down sometime, reminisce a little bit, and be thankful you grew up how you did because you most likely wouldn't be sitting in that chair if you didn't. ]]>
