SPRING! My ultimate favouritest season of all time (with summer close behind)!!!!!!
It feels like it’s been such a long and dreary winter… but FINALLY, SPRING!!!! I love spring for so many reasons… spring is when everything comes to life again… flowers bloom, trees start to sprout their leaves, cherry blossoms do their bootiful thang, the sun shines, it rains a lot toos, but that’s what makes things grow!
It’s been a rough little while for myself, but with the seasons changing, school starting and picking up again, being fortunate enough to surround myself with a handful of amazing people… damn…what more can a girl ask for?
lol I have a renewed faith in the world, in people, in myself… and my my… it’s been a while. I think I just needed to go through what I went through…had to go through the motions… and once that’s said and done…. life gets better…. lol
It’s also a MAJOR bonus that I got my FIRST A+ in a course in my 18 years of education!!!!!!!!!!!!! My VERY FIRST!!!! lol I’m ESTATIC! And absolutely FLOORED! lol The GOOD kind of floored! hehe SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME! I LOVE that class SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH and find myself missing it terribly as well!
Even though this year has been a bit challenging for me, I’m soooo fortunate to have met sooooo many amazing and wonderful and wonderfully supportive people. It’s more than I could have ever asked for, hoped for, expected. Just so amazing!!!!!!!!
Life gives us lemons, and then we choke on them for a while, then we learn to make some lemonade. HAH.
I also wanted to share something with you guys, I had to write my own obituary for one of the assignments… It’s kind of personal, but I thought it would be interesting to share. Writing it was hard, but it really makes you wonder… You guys may want to consider what your obituary would sound like toos… Anyways…this is what I came up with:
Lisa T., 87, died today from a complication during a surgical procedure. She is survived by her husband, 2 kids and 5 grandkids. She was fortunate enough to meet her grandkids and spend time with them in their precious years of youth and adolescence. At the time of death, her principle endeavour was to spend as much quality time with her family, friends and loved ones. She enjoyed spending time in coffee shops with a good book, listening to good music and engaging in heated debates/arguments with her husband and any other person who was up for the challenge; she always loved a good debate.
She wanted to spend her remaining years doing what she loved, which included salsa dancing with her husband, skydiving, indoor soccer and rollerblading. She will be honoured by those who could appreciate her brutal honesty and remembered by her loved ones because of her persistence, dedication and reliable personality. She will be missed by her nieces and nephews because of her love and patience with them. They meant the world to her, just like her own kids did. She was loved by the people in her life, because she did what she could to listen to them with an empathetic ear. She strongly believed that to make a difference in the life of one is to make a HUGE difference.
She made contributions in the areas of Communications and was most proud of her success in her younger years as a marketing entrepreneur who was willing to take risks by doing things her own way. Her meticulous personality, mixed with her unpredictable edge made her marketing strategies the first of their kind. She believed that there was more to life than money, power and prestige. She was also notorious for her love of quotes and the one quote that she used frequently, ever since she first discovered it was: “You were born an original, don’t die a copy.” –Anon.
And with that, I will leave you guys with something to ponder…
Life is short, live it well. Even if you don’t know how, ride out the waves, and things will get better…eventually
There’s always a happy ending. If you’re not happy, it’s not the end. -anon.
Your obituary is creepy yet hopeful.
