A time for understanding

During a discussion with a friend today we ended up talking about alot of things that are in the news or trending right now. I am a huge fan of The Ellen Degeneres show and she had Constance McMillen, the young lady who wanted to go to prom with her girlfriend and wear a tux, on the show a few weeks back. So my friend and I were talking about it and I have to be honest they should have let her go to her own prom however she wanted to as long as she wasn't dressed disrespectfully. What was the harm in the two of them going to prom together? We should be more understanding in this day and age. I mean I think we should rejoice in the unique differences that make us a diverse culture and not breed hate and intolerance. It's not like the girls would have behaved badly or anything, proms have adult supervision to keep all the students behaving. Why are people so afraid of anything different or not their idea of "the norm"? God has called all of us to be His messengers and to spread His word and His love. So I may agree or disagree with people in this world, but because I believe in God, I will love them all regardless. I will stand before God for my sins and mine alone, just as everyone will stand for their own sins. So what harm is it to me if someone choses to live their life one way or another? I have plenty of friends who live a different lifestyle than I do and I love that about each of them. I love that you can't mash them all up into a box labeled "normal". Because I'll tell you right now, If normal means hating anything different, acting stuck up and judgemental, or hurting people to enforce my own agenda.... you take that box labeled "normal" and shove it right up your, well you get the point lol. Break free from what society sets forth as normal or right and live your life the way you want to live it. Rage against the silly sheep that follow one another to the slaughterhouse. Be that one sheep with a mohawk running for the damn hills screaming "No lamb chops tonight!"

Better Day

Well feeling much more myself now, only took 2 days lol. So how's everyone else doing? I saw that the lottery is getting quite the hefty jackpot. Now I don't usually play, but I might have to. I already know exactly what I'd do if I won. One thing for sure is buy myself a home and buy homes for some family. But something I think would be really great to do with that kind of money is to put an article in the paper asking people to nominate friends, family, or even strangers that have fallen on hard times and need help. I would do it just for the county I live in to begin with. I'd take a million dollars and help out the people that were nominated that needed it most. It could be something as simple as paying off a student loan or buying a used car to the more complex stuff like paying off home loans or paying for someone to go to college. Just a little something to help people out and what better time then now. Then I would do the same thing for the county my hometown is...

How the world can change one person at a time

I decided yesterday after a long day of work that I didn't show the people I worked with how much I really appreciated them. So after a little thought I tapped on the office door of our HR person. I poked my head in and just told her how much I liked some flyers she had printed. The smile and the thank you I received told me she was glad to know her efforts weren't unnoticed. I walk away feeling pretty good. A trip to the grocery store led me to donate all the dollars I had on me to the empty stocking fund and then for a third "good deed" for the day....I offered a ride to a woman who had quite a few groceries and was riding a bike. She said it never fails someone offers a ride when I don't need one but when i do no one is to be found. I decided to make sure from now on to watch for her to make sure she did get a ride when she needed it. Are these giant leaps and bounds into saving the world? No, but they are small deeds that show others they aren't invisible ...

A decent saturday

All in all I've had a really nice day today. It was really great to get to spend the whole day with my hubby and enjoy each others company. I don't think I've laughed so much with him in awhile. It'a a good idea to take the time to reconnect and fuel that flame from the spark that brought two loners together. It's wonderful to have someone who is a compliment to your own personality. He keeps me level headed when I need it be because I spend alot of time in the clouds lol. And where sometimes I over think stuff searching for an answer he can step in look at the surface and give a simple applicable solution. Make it a point today and everyday to appreciate the one that loves you... the one that can say you are beautiful even when you are sick as a dog and feel like poo (i know he's lying but makes me feel better lol); the one who has been the reciever of your bad attitude when you have had a bad day; the one who, when the world is falling in around you, just hold...
