EVERYONE'S GOT A STORY TO TELL


Yesterday I was in a less than plesant mood. I sat around revieiwng the millions of why's in life, feeling disgruntled at most of the answers. I have always suffered from a bit of self-imposed over-achiever syndrome. Not that I was an over achiever, I just always expected the very best for myself and thus set the bar at a level so high, I would never allow myself the actual joy in jumping over it metaphorically speaking.

There are millions of people in this world that consider themselves a byproduct of their circumstances each and every day, but I challenge you this... How about flipping it all on its head and thus your circumstances being a byproduct of your thoughts and actions. Try it.

One thing in this world is certain - life is finite.

I see a picture and I hate to see the sadness in it~

One thing I know that has been hardest for me is expressing myself in written word like this the way I mean it. I am sitting here feeling, but to write the way I want to sound just gets me sometimes...

And the last thing I ever want to do is be confusing to someone. Even though I may change something on a web page like myspace, that doesn't mean what was there has changed any...

My story is that certain things in my life are past tense. And there is one thing I really look forward to. That leaves a big space in between called "now". That's why I don't feel like I have anything but quiet things to talk about right now. I've written about what I've done as a teacher with and about family in my life... and certainly about who I look forward to~

I guess I won't worry about sounding boring...

amy said...

I have done this flip and love it~

I'm going to try again. Since the beginning of March I have been so tired. I had to get back on my feet after being gone from work for 6 weeks. At first when I got I was relieved to have some familiar things back again, and be able to pay all my bills, just barely. But now, I'm feeling the same as I did before I ever left. That I don't stay here where I've been so long...

amy said...

I need to get my mind on track again. Lately everything really has been a blur. I've never been this way before.

amy said...

I will try it. I'll be getting back to being myself again~ I can do this

amy said...

amy said...

The way I could show you how much you mean to me would be to hug you and look in your eyes and smile for happiness

amy said...

All I've said to you is still true in my heart

amy said...

I had my nieces on the myspace page, but I talk to them all the time anyway, and they do that more for their friends~ I wanted to keep that for you and was just going to start doing more with it

amy said...

I want to see you here in May~

amy said...

Please come here for both of us... let's start being together

amy said...

Let's flip things around together for the both of us

amy said...

The few people I have in my life are easy-going to be around, and they would love you

amy said...

You're my sweetie and I miss you

You make me home safe and all I can think of is you

amy said...

I don't want to be apart from you ever

amy said...

The release date won't come to soon! I believe in you.

I fell into this mind frame about 3 weeks ago. Amazing. Maintaining it is the tricky (and fun!) part...

editor said...

Meanwhile welcome to you - thanks for stopping by my page again!

Yours is a pleasure to read too!!!

amy said...

You two! I've made the leap to this mind frame, and have felt like I've had go back to the bench for a minute ... but, yes! Practice and maintaining is how to keep it; no turning around... I'm not happy any other way~
