War, Peace

The war and the hate - is it all a mistake?

Do they see what they're doing and hear what they're saying?

Don't they know that they're doing more damage than good

Communication is the key, it's all power - that's misunderstood

Hold hands, unite as one, walk to the sun

Do it for your planet, your daughter and your son

This has all just begun and it's not ending soon

What is it about authority, when you're the minority

Countries with dictatorship and still so hungry

Lets establish a relationship and council the unruly

Look around you; what they really want to say is

They're hurting for a leader that will save the day.

What else can we do, no more war - no more fears,

No more pain, no unnecessary deaths, no more tears, 

Cry no more tears, cry no more tears.

You have to listen, you have to unite,

Get this world together and lets stop the fight.

7 years ago...

7 years ago you asked me a question and we made a promise that will last forever.

Today is just like any other day because I don't love you any more or any less than before.

My love for you will always be limitless and infinite.

To the moon and back babe, now, forever, and always.

You are the one that was made for me and I was created solely for you.

There's no comparison for the happiness that you bring me each and every day, hour, minute, second that we are together.

You are my husband, my best-friend, my partner for life...

7 years engaged,

(almost) 6 years married,

8 wonderful years together!!

Wow! That made my day!

So my mom has a picture of me and Mason on her desktop computer and a colleague passes by stating that I look like I could be her twin. She then asked about my age and when I mom told her she was astonished and stated that I look like I could be 18 years old!  Wooohooo! Then two weeks ago, Mason's foster parents thought Vic and I were about 22. Ok so my genes are good.

Here's a good one; we actually starting "tucking in" Mason at night and he stays all through the morning. We find him in the morning still al bundled up in his blanket. It's adorable.

Poetry from my Soul

Poetry from my Soul

Sometimes I get short, sad, upset... 

I'm sorry.

I sometimes feel like I'm drowning and I can't get to the top of the river that's as high as a mountain

I don't like feeling restrained, held by these gravitational grips

I know that I will overcome it and soar past the surface

and that it's just a matter of time

I don't want to rush time either

Time should go as its meant to

The environment will change for the better

and the apparatus needed to re-surface will become available

...

I'm now on the surface breathing the fresh air

Hoping for the day when I'll soar up through the sky

Working, studying,

Preparing for my purposes, my goals in life. 

...

I'm now ready,

In the sky soaring through all kinds of skies

Making it through in one piece, in several pieces bonded together;

With my partner and several passengers all as one.

Content, Loved, Thankful, Motivated.

Non-Perfection Shapes Us Up

So I started working out yesterday, Dance Central - on the xbox kinnect, I did 6 songs. It was about a 30 minute workout. I really don't like going to the gym as much as I used to... this is an alternative method. I think I was getting bored of the gym, so the dancing games and zumba games is awesome. Well, I need to get back into shape with the spring and summer coming, time to shed my winter coat.

I'm feeling better today. Yesterday I was feeling negative vibes at work, but was able to get through it by constantly telling myself to keep that positivity going. Then my colleagues provided me with breakfast and cake in celebration of my birthday. I felt special. Then I was thinking about an incident where recently, I should have been celebrated, but instead it was like any other day ... I was feeling like the least important person in the room. I guess I should look at it from another perspective? That I got all these folks together in one room?

See I'm not Mrs. Perfect Positivity although I try to live up to it. I'll be Miss Positivity and keep working at it. No one is perfect and that's how it should be anyway, always. It would be an unbalanced scale if there wasn't any negativity. Negativity is what drives me to turn anything around with positivity. If it wasn't for that, I wouldn't be who I am today and this world would just all positive or all negative - and that wouldn't work at all.

My Day is Today

My day is today is what I said yesterday on my birthday. I spent it with my boys; Vic my husband and Mason, my Boston Terrier Rescue. The past week has been amazing since acquiring Mason. He came from an awesome foster home with North East Boston Terrier Rescue organization (NEBTR). We met him for the first time on January 22, 2011 in NJ. Within the first fifteen minutes we knew he was the one that we would 'rescue'. We've now had him for a full week as of January 29, 2011 - going on two weeks and he's been just amazing in every way. He's everything that we (hubby & I) wanted in a dog and more.

 

We had family come over on Saturday to meet Mason and celebrate my birthday early. We had a nice time :), thankfully. Mason was a good boy, although he just wanted to keep playing. On Sunday, Mason and I were both exhausted and just relaxed ALL DAY. It was lovely.

So far I'm on my way completing my goals for 2011; one is the wonderful gift of adopting a Boston Rescue, the second one is starting to take my prerequisites (2) for the nursing program. I will jumping on the other goals next!
