In a World of Decay.... Be the Beauty.

Wandering through this

world of death and decay

realizing something has to change.

Stumbling upon a broken mirror I reflect,

“What do I do?”

“I haven’t the slightest clue

but it seems obvious to me

that the change starts with you.”

I wrote this yesterday morning thinking abut all the craziest happening in this world today and realizing I want more out of this world with the years I have left. I’m guilty of worrying too much about the future and forgetting to be here in the present moment. I wouldn’t say this happens all the time but there are instances where I get caught up in all the dread and get grinded down like a tree stump.

These word came to me after the gym yesterday. I decided I need to type it out quickly before my shattered brain forgets it. Yes, we live in a broken messed up world but that doesn’t mean we have to give up hope or stop trying to better our life, or to help the ones around us.

Change starts with me. I need to take ownership of my failures and my successes. It seems so simple to change, yet we are creatures of habit. We get into a routine and stay with that routine forever. If we want to have an awesome life, world, and future its starts with little changes.

These changes can be as simple as :

Walking more.

Reading more and less scrolling.

Writing your thoughts down more.

Exercising more

.Having actual conversations with human beings more.

I want to be the best person I can be in this world. I also want the world to be better place for me and my family.(selfish thinking I know ) I think instead of trying to change the whole world we need to focus on changing our own life for the better and the world will follow suit. The only way we will be able to change this world is by starting to remove the ugly weeds ands vines suffocating us in this garden of life and start filling our garden with more beauty flowers!

Christmas Time is here.

The evergreen smell is filling our house as we prepare to get ready for Christmas this year. I enjoy Christmas so much and I love spending time with my family. This year we get to wake up and see the face of our little Adalaide smiling at the sight of Christmas morning. (well probably drooling and crying because… she is a baby) Words can’t describe this upcoming feeling of wanting to start these new traditions with her. My whole life I got to enjoy the traditions of our family from being a little tike to being an adult. However, now we get to embrace new traditions and new joys of having a little one in our home on Christmas morning. It is a surreal feeling. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and hope you keep up the traditions you had as a child every year. Enjoy the memories this upcoming holiday and be present in the moment. Social media should take a step back and really enjoy the company of others this weekend

Memories

come back into our head,

after the scents

of Gingerbread,

and carols of yesteryear

echoe in our ears.

Gather around the table,

and feast on the finest Roastbeast.

as merriment, happiness, and joy

converse among our family cheer.

No sorrow, no pain , no worry, no angst

let us hold off and have an armistice

until tomorrow or forever

Amen.

Cheers

More! More! More!

We all want more in life, our career, and our relationships. Every day we are blasted by never having enough stuff. Advertising telling us how to think, look, and what food to eat. Now I’m not opposed to having a successful life. I mean we do live in America and should have that excitement to pursue our dreams. You can do anything and be whatever you want. Keep learning and growing.

I think it’s good to take a moment sometimes and reflect on what you have already. Realize the loved ones you have in your life. That job you “hate” maybe isn’t so bad. Now I never think you should settle in life and give up dreaming. However its probably not great to always want, want, and want. Find a balance between the two extremes. Enjoy what you have and still pursue the best version of yourself. Go ahead and buy that fancy shiny thing that everyone else has too, just because it seems cool. haha.. Keep living and go after that dream!!!

Moral of the story :

Enjoy what you have

and don’t dwell on what can be.

Dream and pursue those dreams but never lose sight

of what you have and who is in your awesome life already.

Cheers,

P.S. I’m hungry… I want a taco. My life is to pursue tacos.

Surprise!

I enjoy nothing more than to hand out gifts to make people feel joy. Whether its paying the person behind me in line for their coffee at Starbucks. Or finding a green Sasquatch driving a monster truck t-shirt from a thrift shop to surprise a friend with. The elation it brings is amazing. Physical gifts giving is awesome in it’s own right. However many of us don’t realize that we all have gifts and talents that we can share everyday but we choose to bury them deep, and hide them away. I’m not sure if its pride or the feeling that recipient won’t like it. A smile to a stranger can help them through a rough patch in that moment. Listening intently to a friend in need while drinking some beers at happy hour. Handwriting a letter to mail to your family who lives far away. Singing a song to old Nana, Dorothy McShaw. We all have so many talents and gifts to share in our own way. Come to think of it, maybe the world would be a much better place, if we just shared our gifts for good, and try to bring joy out of people every single day.
