I found this poster at a doctors office and I liked it. So here it is:
Stay loose. learn to watch snails.
plant impossible gardens. invite
someone dangerous to tea. make
little signs that say Yes! and post
them all over your house. Make friends
with freedom & uncertainty. look forward
to dreams. cry during movies. swing
as high as you can on a swingset
by moonlight. cultivate moods. refuse
to "be responsible." do it for love.
take lots of naps. give money away.
do it now. the money will follow.
believe in magic. laugh a lot.
celebrate every gorgeous moment.
take moonbaths. have wild
imaginings, transformative dreams,
and perfect calm. draw on the walls.
read everyday. imagine yourself
magic. giggle with children. listen
to old people. open up. dive in. be free.
bless yourself. drive away fear.
play with everything. entertain
your inner child. you are innocent.
build a fort with blankets. get wet.
hug trees.
Write love letters.

The Greatest Commandment
Writing this one in the car. Sitting in my seat watching lightning run throughout the clouds and little raindrops fall onto the windshield. Lifehouse playing on the radio. Song says "I'll do whatever it takes, to turn this around."
I wonder how much I would do for someone or for something. How far would I go in order to get someone I want. Follow them to the end of the earth? Call just to hear their voice? Talk to them and always say the ultimate Tom Cruise line,"You complete me."
Someone that is my other half. Holding on to the other half of my heart waiting for that other piece to complete the puzzle. Like the Kanye song, maybe we're all heartless. A solo is inspiring but a duet brings hope and change.
Strong and compassionate are words that seem totally different but after some time seem like a perfect match. I would like to be strong and compassionate.
Strength helps with confidence in my opinion. Something that makes you a little bolder in things you do. It makes you surprise yourself at times. I imagine strength as standing up for what is right, being a leader, a follower, and lifting heavy things over your head and then chest bumping your bro while screaming deeply.
Compassion is something that I feel shows justice, love, and sincerity. It's loving your neighbor as yourself, the greatest commandment, in action. Compassion, to me, is hugging someone that feels down, helping someone stuck on the side of the road, and crying while watching Marley and Me.
The greatest commandment includes a combination of compassion and strength, I think would be buying food for the homeless, talking with the socially outcast, and maybe crying after you chest bump your buddy.

Delayed
I have not written in awhile. Which kind of saddens me. And while this post/note/blog thing might be short it is a start. It's not that I haven't stopped writing or anything I just have never completed a blog yet. I have many drafts lined up just waiting to be finished. It's almost midnight and I thought throughout my day something that would be worthy to blog about.
I was talking to a friend and we came to the conclusion about lucky we are. It reminded me of the play Suessical my high school did awhile back. During one of the songs the line, "Tell yourself, how lucky you are," struck me. It's very hard to stay positive when you're down in the dumps. When something goes all wrong.
In the end, don't forget to remember how lucky you are.
