- I am at once horrified yet intrigued to witness the continued Jersey Shore-ification of America. Has anyone else noticed the increase in guido music on the airwaves??? I think I'll buy some stock in Ed Hardy and Swarovski today.
- I am grateful for soft water, loofahs, sparkling water, chickpeas, and bubbles (hey, i said random samplings).
- Once in Fiji, when Milee was bug bite ridden and sun stroked she told me that I must be invincible to be completely fine without repellent and minimal SPF. Luckily I still feel invincible, indestructible, and resilient. Seriously though, I thank my lucky stars that I'm as healthy I am and remind myself to appreciate my body every day.
- One of the highlights of my year was being in the labor and delivery room witnessing the birth of my niece while listening to Salt-n-Pepa's 'Push It.' :) Push it real good.
- I love making playlists for any occasion, so never hesitate to ask.
- On the flip side, I'm an admitted music nazi so I expect to hear every last song of said playlist if i make it. I will also jump at any chance to 'put on a song' in an effort to hijack the stereo.
- On a serious note, I hope that we can all recognize how lucky we are to live here and know each other, despite the differences in opinion and failures of government, this is a pretty comfortable place to be. We must appreciate every advantage and luxury we have. Clean water, electricity, education, plentiful food, access to health care, jobs, etc. Just being able to go out and eat a nice meal. I mean, I often think that I could've been born a 3rd world orphan. I can't begin to imagine what that would've been like.
In comparison we have it easy and that's the case I'd like to plead to you today, ladies and gentlemen of the jury. Enjoy the present and the people around you, laugh as much as you can and remember to tell people that you love and appreciate them as often as possible. PLEASE, pretty please, remember these Barbisms (aka quotes I've stolen):
"When in doubt, it's probably not that serious."
'Seize the day. Make your lives extraordinary.'
'You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment.'
'Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional.'
'Perfectly imperfect'
'Not all who wander are lost'
- This song makes me happy. Get to know it if you haven't already:
- I also love the sentiment of this song:
In My Eyes, by Robyn
This is my love letter to you all.
LOVE LOVE LOVE
