Just Maybe....

Just Maybe...

Maybe...we meet the wrong people before meeting the right one so that, when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Maybe...when the door of happiness closes, another opens; but, often times, we look so long at the closed door that we don't even see the new one which has been opened for us.

Maybe...it is true that we don't know what we have got until we lose it, but it is also true that we don't know what we have been missing until it arrives.

Maybe...the happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

Maybe...you should dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you dream of and want to do.

Maybe...there are moments in life when you miss someone -- a parent, a spouse, a friend, a child -- so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real.

Maybe...the best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.

Maybe...you should always try to put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that something could hurt you, it probably will hurt the other person, too.

Maybe...you should do something nice for someone every single day, even if it is simply to leave them alone.

Maybe...giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they will love you back. Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart; but, if it doesn't, be content that it grew in yours.

Maybe...you shouldn't go for looks; they can deceive; Don't go forwealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile, because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

Maybe...you could send this message or post it to those people who mean something to you, to those who have touched your life either positively or not, to those who can and do make you smile when you really need it, to those who make you see the brighter side of things when you are really down, and to all those whom you want to know that you appreciate them..

Reality Check

Lately I've been noticing how self-centered, ungrateful, greedy, and down right rude people can be. A while back I was talking to a "friend" (in some sense of the word) about a situation we were both involved with and listening to them made me realize what assholes some people really are/can be. Why is it that some people get some sort of self-gratification by doing things to intentionally hurt someone else?!? Now I'll be the first to admit that paybacks and karma can be a bitch, but why would you intentionally try to hurt someone you supposedly care about? Sure we say things in the heat of the moment that we may or may not mean, but why do we actually DO things to intentionally hurt each other wether they are emotional or physical? It's kind of sad that some people are so shallow that they have to knock someone else down to make themselves feel better... I guess thats all I have to say about that...

Yesterday was kinda shitty my phone broke in half and my fan on my computer decided to quit working...as I was talking to my dad today he said "kid if it wasnt for bad luck you wouldnt have any right now." This could be true however my bad luck is probably minor to other things that happened in the world today...I'm almost sure someones house probably burnt down and they lost everything they had, someone got in a bad car accident and was severely injured or possibly even killed, someone probably found out they are really sick, and someone lost some they loved. This made me realize how good so many of us have it...

This leads me to the last part of this blog:

I am greatful for......

My parents who always push me to do my best, and always stand beside me even when I screw up. Who love me for me... no matter what idiotic, stupid, ditzy, or goofy thing I do.

My brothers who can make me crazy and histarical at the same time and who I seem to get closer and closer with as they get older.

My grandparents who are 2 of the most caring best people in the world...a lot of people could learn a lot from them...

My grandpa syl who even though can be a smartass still would give you the last penny he had if he knew you really needed it.

My dogs who I know will never tell my deepest darkest secrets and who always seem to love me no matter what mood I'm in or what i look like...

My friends who let me use their shoulder when I need something to lean on and who will kick me in the butt when I'm being irrational...

Horses because they're pretty much my favorite animal and help me keep my sanity...

Then there are actual things like food, shelter, oxygen, the fact that i'm able to do things for myself, and every other little thing that we take for granted every day and dont even take into consideration brecause we dont even realize how imprtant they are...until they're gone...
