I have been realizing lately that life isn't always as it seems. It can be hurtful, wonderful, curvy, straight, and even sometimes unexpected. When things happen in life (especially the bad things), we are most of the time thrown for a loop. Things won't always be wonderful, but that which doesn't kill you will only make you stronger. But when things are great, don't take advantage of it. Embrace it. Enjoy the time that you have. Smile. Walk around in a field of flowers. Find your "special place". Take pictures, lots of pictures. Laugh, love, live. Do something crazy. Kiss the person you love (and don't forget to tell them you love them). Remember your childhood and revisit the things that made it great. Tell your secrets to someone, even if they are anonymous (www.postsecret.com).
I honestly don't know why I feel this wisdom needed to be shared, but if you are reading this, I hope you listen...
