Growing Up

It's been awhile since I posted, but life seems to always get in the way. So here I am, it's 2015 and things are going well. I was just thinking about growing up. We all have to grow up eventually right? I mean we can't be Peter Pan and stay in Never Never Land. Would you really want to? Being a kid is great! I won't deny that fact, but at some point in life "you put away childish things". Do I still fly kites on windy days? Yes!! A little part of me is always going to be 13 year old Jana, who loved unicorns and barbies and wanted to marry Corey Haim haha. But thirty something Jana, well she's just way better. No I didn't get to marry Corey, instead I married the most amazing man. He's kind and funny and takes me fishing (cause 13 year old me wants to go lol). Grown up Jana gets to delight in the magic of childhood. Think about it. How fun is it to share tales of Santa Clause and watch kids eyes sparkle with an innocence that you hope they hold onto forever. I get to still believe in some childhood dreams and share 13 year old silly me with some pretty awesome nieces and nephews. So yes grow up and become an interesting adult, but never lose the kid in you. The kid who wanted to be a lawyer by day and a fashion designer by night. Be you, be uniquely you. Never let anyone tell you who you can or can't be. Never let anyone steal or squash your dreams. Hey, I'm still believing that one day I'll actually finish writing a book. I'm always going to have my head a little in the clouds daydreaming, but I can do that because my roots are planted firmly and tether me down just enough to keep me from flying away. Hmm, guess I'm a kite lol. Now if you'll excuse me, the window is open and I can feel a nice breeze. Let's see how far I can fly.

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...
