Lessons Learned

One thing I have learned in life is that nothing stays the same. Time changes things. It changes people. It changes relationships. It changes everything. Sometimes I even stop and think, the moment I am right now will be nothing but a memory in no time at all. I know I am the type of person who over thinks things, but I actually think is a  good thing. It makes you slow down and look at life. Appreciate it and cherish the moment.

So when you are feeling down, depressed, angry... Stop for a second. And think of all the things you have to be thankful for. I know it can be hard. Its not easy to make yourself be happy sometimes, but its better than not trying at all and drowning yourself in your own sorrow.

Life is life. Things go wrong, but you have to fight. Fight to live. Fight to be happy.

Simple (Wo)Man

Life is tough. Especially with today's problems. Although we have many luxuries that people did not have back in the day, with the spiraling economy and overwhelming political information, it can make things seem bleak and a little scary.
But today I decided, that I am not going to let that stuff get to me anymore. Right here and now, things are great in my life. I couldn't be more thankful. So, I am not going to worry about the future. For once in my life, I am going to stop thinking there has to be a plan for everything, because then all I seem to do is think about the plan, the future. I wanna live in the moment. I wanna enjoy life, the life that is happening here and now. God tells us to give our problems to him, and that's exactly what I'm doing. I'm no longer going to worry about things I can't change. I'm gonna focus on being a good Christian, also on being a good wife and person.
All I need is God and my simple life with my husband to get by.

Below is a link to a song that I hold dearly to my heart. I know I am not a man, but the lyrics to the song could apply to anyone.

Lynrd Skynyrd - Simple Man

Lyrics :
Mama told me when I was young
Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it'll help you some sunny day

Oh, take your time don't live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
Go find a woman you'll find love
And don't forget son there is someone up above

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can? Oh yes, I will

Boy, don't you worry you'll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you my son is to be satisfied

And be a simple kind of man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won't you do this for me son if you can?

Baby be a simple, be a simple man
Be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
