Nothing

Nothing is what it seems sometimes, we look at people and other things and have no idea what the story is behind it. People say they don’t judge but deep down inside they really do. Everyone does. I started blogging because I love to write, that is my passion and my gift from God. My imagination is so wild that I can write an entire play in just 20 minutes. I have done that many times. At my church, I get asked to write a play or a skit all the time and by the time we are done having the conversation about doing one, I would have written it in my head by the end of the conversation. I called that blessed. Everyone has a gift and it’s up to use to act on it or we will end up with nothing. If you have a passion so deep inside you why won’t you act on it? And if you are pursuing your dream and not all the way their yet, what’s stopping us? Nothing.

I have a full time job and a full time college student with just 5 classes before graduation with 2 teenagers at home and 3 grown children who are married with their own families. My excuse is time. Time is what I have to sacrifice, do I stay up all night and write when I can, do I save it and do it just on weekends, or do I push it to the side and pray I become a famous Author overnight? This stops me all the time. Why can’t I just write full time and make a career out of it? Because, Bills don’t care if you want to pursue your dreams, they have to be paid regardless and they don’t give a rats tail where the money comes from and as long as they get it.

Think about your dreams, pursue your dreams as much as possible and if anyone has any advice that worked for you and you feel that it can work for others, please share in my comment section below. Don’t let Nothing stop us bloggers from doing what we love despite all the criticism and stupid comments some people leave. What’s the purpose of being here on earth if we can’t enjoy our true self? It’s more than working our souls into retirement, saving for college, paying bills, feeling depressed and hopeless sometimes. Life is to be enjoyed and love each other and put our gifts to use in every way possible. Yes, we have to work to pay bills but don’t wrap your entire life around working and you miss out on the family love, relaxation, God (or what ever your religion is), Life’s precious moments like your child’s first step or your children’s big school play, or even when your pet looks at you like mine is right now saying put your laptop down and come play WOMAN! lol!

We only get one life, don’t let NOTHING stop us from living it to the fullest. Enjoy it now because we are not promised to live to see tomorrow.

Simple

Look at the simple things in life. Look at the fact that no matter what you have going on in your life, you’re still here. Simple things makes life so wonderful once you think about it. For example, when you wake up in the morning and try and put your pants on and your right leg goes in just fine then when you start to put your left leg in for some reason you miss the pants leg and stumble over or your left foot gets caught in the pocket of your pants and you almost come in contact with the floor. Seriously, why can’t we put on pants without coming in contact with a dresser or crashing into the bed? I don’t know.

Another simple joy in life is when you begin to clean up a room and see an object that suppose to be in another room, so you take that object into the other room and start cleaning that one. That’s when you realize that you’ve cleaned the entire house and never went back to the room you stared with in the first place. What makes our life so wonderful is the little things that most of us don’t pay attention too, things that doesn’t get huge recognition like when that favorite song comes on the radio and you dance like no one is watching. Then turn around and notice that your kids were watching and they start to slowly back up because mom was singing with a can of air freshener in her hand while acting like Stevie Nicks singing Gypsy. Simple moments.

Day 2

Life’s funny moments

That moment when you realize that dreams only come true when you decide to make it happen. Some people want everything to fall into their lap so they sit back and wait for that special moment to come. I say this because it was me at one point. I love writing plays, books, and just funny quotes, but everything I have done is sitting in the corner of my room because of fear of actually being successfully published or not being successfully published. So, I decided to get up and do something about it, so I will blog until I get over my fear of possible failure or my achievement of a new career and a new life. I’m 41 and it’s never to late to dream so I’ll dream big. My first blog will be my first step towards my dreams and overcoming my fears.

(I just looked down and noticed that my puppy, (Chandler Bing) just realized he has a tail. Priceless)
