Silence.

A quick thought before I return to the hustle and bustle that is my 27th birthday this morning.  I realize snow is an odd thing to have on my mind when you consider the fact that I am currently packing for a trip to Florida which I will embark on tomorrow. Combine that with the fact that we have had hardly a Winter at all in the great state of North Carolina, and you must wonder what in the world I am thinking.  I was thinking, when is it actually ever silent in my life?  We all stay busy, always running here or running there with a million things to do on our minds.  Some of us are much busier than others. I am currently not employed so I can almost guarantee that you're busier than me, although I do what I can to help my family. Even when I am at home doing nothing, cleaning done, I am watching TV; or if I am enjoying a good book I most likely have some of my favorite music playing low for background noise. If I'm not relaxing it seems I am ALWAYS social networking, texting, or talking to someone on the phone (probably my mom or grandma). When am I actually ever silent? Never. So now how does snow fit into that frame of mind? Well, here you are.  I would like a little silence for a while.  Silence like it is silent during a big snow. When you go outside at night and the snow is silently, beautifully falling. There aren't any noises from animals, people, or cars.  Everything is so seemingly bright, pure and peaceful. That is the kind of silence I'm talking about. Just imagining that scene puts my mind at ease. I can almost breathe in the crisp, clean night air. Deep breath in, and I suppose it's back to my action packed day. Thanks for reading!  I am hoping for some writing time and free Wifi in Florida!

Birthday Wishes.

So today has been a difficult day already and it has just begun. Today would have been my Great Grandmother's 97th birthday.  She passed away in 2004 and I miss her terribly this time of year every single year. My birthday is tomorrow. I am grateful to have lived another year blessed with the wonderful people that surround me; however, I can't help but miss this precious lady.  We had our birthday parties together every year up until she died and it hurts to not be able to share that special time with her anymore. This year in particular it is hitting me harder than it has in previous years. I am guessing that is due to the fact that I have had some other issues in my life the last few months including unemployment, marital issues and my grandfather being diagnosed with Cancer. I am going to try to have a great day today and honor her memory instead of wallowing in self pity. I know I need to realize that I can get out and enjoy life and she can't so I should take advantage of it.  So on that note, I picked out this gorgeous cake because she loved butterflies and purple (just like me) so that we could share it. Happy Birthday Granny. I love you and miss you more than words could ever say.  <3

HELLO!

Thanks for viewing my blog! Just a little warning/reminder. I'm a girl.  I'm emotional and I wear my heart on my sleeve. This blog may be upbeat at times; however it may also overflow with overemotional rants about how stupid and mean people are (males in particular). This blog may also be completely subjective and  based on my opinion which you may absolutely disapprove of. You know what? That's why it's MY blog. hehehe. Please enjoy your stay and come back!!!!
