The conflicted ramblings of me

"You can either go (emotionally) broke running around trying to please everyone, or you can spend your time creating, living and being AUTHENTIC" - From a blog posting by Jenny Blake

Patience

Patience and Understanding. Something I wish more for every single day. There just isn't enough. Whether it's with myself, people in my life, situations I put myself in or what life has given me - god, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.

And if all else fails - don't worry, be happy - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WIM3GHvBQjY.

And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance...

...I hope you dance.

Before I left for Mason, my mom printed these lyrics out, signed it Love, Mom, and gave them to me. I carried them with me throughout my 4 years in school. The same message I kept in my heart thereafter. The words are simple, beautiful, humbling.

Then that day came, when he asked me to dance. And without knowing what it would mean then, I said yes. The song couldn't have been any truer.

In every moment I want it and even when I need to hear it, it is all in this song.
