Day on the beach : take 2

This is what my day at the beach consisted of today. Sitting. People Watching. Listening to waves. Listening to a crazy guy "fight thru the phone". playing with lizards. writing.
[ps: i know i don't have pictures of a couple of those, my my phone started acting up. boo, i know.]

Love makes you crazy
I wish you knew how this feels
I've never felt my heart break like this
This was a hard hit
Reality show to me
Got me thinking twice about my life
Is this really where I should be?
I look around at all the people
Their carefree, laughing eyes
Then I contemplate my life
I'm not who he thinks I am
I really am genuine, I care.
I'm not filled with lies.
I'm waiting for a break on this roller coaster love
I just want to be happy again
I want him to see my heart in my hands
I'm full of love if he would just let me back in.
But I'm broken now
I'm torn to pieces.
I don't think I've ever felt a pain like this
I'm at a loss - that's all I've got... ~ LA

Beach Day : Take 1

Beautiful beach day. Sunny skies. Nice Breeze.
Spent a couple of hours driving around Hallandale Beach, looking at the beautiful scenery, people watching and taking goofy pictures with @JSawyer86.

My Halloween :)

I'd say it went well. Even though I had to work a long shift, dealing with crazy drunk people, it turned out to be a great first Halloween in Miami. Amazinggg friends and coworkers. :)

@JSawyer, myself & Patrick.

Some amazing co-workers. We took a break on the clock :)

My Franny! ♥

Don't be boring. ☺

To Dream a Dream.

"The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience." - Eleanor Roosevelt

Trust. Listen. Pray.

Life can get tough. It will knock you down when you least expect it and when you're feeling weak; when you feel like you just don't have the strength to get back up again. I've been there time and time again, but I've kept my faith. There is no battle that will come your way today that doesn’t first have to come by God. Whatever you are struggling with, know that you can make it and you can find a refuge in God. Whether it is grief, lack of money, problems in your relationships or even your health… trust in him. Just as you eat to nourish your body each day, don’t forget to feed your spirit as well. There are seasons that we enter where it seems that the road is rough and the going stays tough. Seems like there is no way out. We can do the best that we can on our own accord, for every situation, but we need direction and positioning from the Lord. We must come to an understanding that we don’t need to pray only to petition or ask him for things, but we must acknowledge him and start a gratitude list for the things that he has already done. Meditate on it, pray and listen. He will direct your path.


"And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him." - Hebrews 11:6

Ideas

I believe that a life without ideas is an unfulfilled existence. Not only having ideas is important, but to express them, share them, and implement them is what makes a difference in this world.

The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success. - Henry Ward Beecher

Today's Quote.

"May the wind always be at your back and the sun upon your face.And may the wings of destiny carry you aloft to dance with the stars." - [Blow]

Just a Thought...

"There's gotta be more to life ...
Than chasing down every temporary high to satisfy me ...
I've got the time and I'm wasting it slowly ...
Onto the next thing, I'm searching for something that's missing ..."

Keep on searching. You'll find your purpose and what truly makes you happy. Never give up until you are completely satisfied, and even then... keep on going! :)

"I want the most of what life can give to me
Only the best, a life extraordinary ...
I'm not ordinary, i'm not like anyone else"

"To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing."
Risk-taking, by definition, defies logic. Reason can't explain why people do unpredictable things — like betting on blackjack or jumping out of planes — for little or, sometimes, no reward at all. There's the thrill, of course... those brief moments of ecstasy. We take risks again and again like addicts. The explanation for why people like to live life on the edge — it involves the neurotransmitter dopamine, the brain's "feel-good" chemical. So make yourself feel good, do something you've been shying away from. And then ask yourself, "what's next?"

*Quote for the Day*

"The longer I love, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the money, than circumstances, than failure, than successes, than what other people think or say or do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company... a church... a home. The remarkable thing is that we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past... we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way. We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the one string we have, and that is our attitude. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... we are in charge of our attitudes." ~ Charles R. Swindoll

"Life is like a box of crayons. Most people are the 8-color boxes, but what you're really looking for are the 64-color boxes with the sharpeners on the back. I fancy myself to be a 64-color box, though I've got a few missing. It's okay though because I have more vibrant colors like periwinkle at my disposal. I have a bit of a problem though in that I can only meet the 8-color boxes. Anyone else have that problem? I mean there are so many different colors of life, of feeling, or articulation.. so when I meet one who's an 8-color type... I'm like, "Hey girl, magenta!" and she's like, "Oh, y0u mean purple!"... and she goes off on her purple thing, and I'm like, "No! I want magenta!" ~ John Mayer ♥

Be Yourself ♥

"Individuality is freedom lived." ~ John Dos Passos

Don't Give Up!

Whenever you make a mistake or get knocked down by life, don't look back at it too long. Mistakes are life's way of teaching you. Your capacity for occasional blunders is inseparable from your capacity to reach your goals. No one wins them all, and your failures, when they happen, are just part of your growth. Shake off your blunders. How will you know your limits without an occasional failure? Never quit. Your turn will come.” ~ Og Mandino

A Smile Costs Nothing...

A smile costs nothing but gives much. It enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give. It takes but a moment, but the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None is so rich or mighty that he cannot get along without it and none is so poor that he cannot be made rich by it. Yet a smile cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is of no value to anyone until it is given away. Some people are too tired to give you a smile. Give them one of yours, as none needs a smile so much as he who has no more to give. ~Author Unknown

Determination*

My topic for this morning: Determination.

Having determination is something that is looked up to in life, it shows that you will succeed in anything you do. It's a positive personal character trait. Being a determined individual means knowing what you want. If there is something a person wants to do, he or she will not give up easily or get distracted by something else. But then there are other times where a person may have a goal to do something, but then the task seems more difficult than he or she thought it would be. In turn, they then weighs the desire to achieve the goal versus the work required and decide to quit. Some people jump from one thing to another, without even completing what they started, which seems as if they aren't very determined to achieve their goal. Some people give up too easily. If we fixate on a purpose; know what we want and why we want it, that purpose will help drive our determinism. If you are determined to achieve a worthwhile goal, you will reap the rewards; a feeling of satisfaction and achievement.

So everyone make a goal for yourself today! Don't give up! Stay in that positive mindset :)
