Life...

"You can't let praise or criticism get to you.
It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."

"A loving person lives in a loving world.
A hostile person lives in a hostile world.
Everyone you meet is your mirror."

"I don't recall your name but your manners are familiar."

<3 the simple things

Sometimes life can be difficult and rough..that's when we need to step back and look at the simple things in life. Such as swinging...

How's this for random...

We'll this is my bike...my pride and joy of earthly possessions...the one thing that I will put in my room...lol =)Many times I have ALMOST gotten hit by a car on it. Not yet tho!!! Some times a little too close for comfort...

Give Me Your Eyes

This song, by Brandon Heath, talks about how he wants God to give him the same mindset that He has for other people. We want to love, understand, care and help people all around us, but for the most part we are too selfish to get out of our comfort zones. If we all felt the way God feels about his children then the world would be a lot more caring and a lot less self absorbed. Speaks to me every time I hear it and I just want to share this..hope you enjoy the song! If you click on the link below then it will take you to the video...and if it doesn't work then just scroll down and it should be at the bottom..

Looked down from a broken sky.
Traced out by the city of lights.
My world from a mile high.
Best seat in the house tonight.
Touch down on the cold black-top.
Hold on for the sudden stop.
Breathe in the familiar shock of confusion and chaos.
Are all those people going somewhere? Why have I never cared.

Give me your eyes for just one second,
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missing,
Give your love for humanity.
Give me your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.
Give me Your eyes so I can see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.


Step out on the busy street.
See a girl and our eyes meet.
Does her best to smile at me.
To hide what's underneath.
There's a man just to her right
Black suit and a bright red tie.
Too ashamed to tell his wife he's out of work, he's buyin time.
Are all those people going somewhere? Why have I never cared.

Give me your eyes for just one second,
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missing,
Give me your love for humanity.
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.

Give me Your eyes so I can see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.

I've been there a million times.
A couple of million lives.
Just movin past me by, I swear I never thought that I was wrong.
But I wanna second glance so give me a second chance to see the way you've seen the people all along.

Give me your eyes for just one second,
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missing,
Give me your love for humanity.
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.
Give me Your eyes so I can see.


Give me your eyes for just one second,
Give me your eyes so I can see,
Everything that I keep missing,
Give me Your love for humanity
Give me Your arms for the broken-hearted
The ones that are far beyond my reach.
Give me Your heart for the ones forgotten.
Give me Your eyes so I can see.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah

New!

Well, I finally did it..I painted over my beautiful, bright orange walls. It was a hard decision..but after much thought I came to the conclusion that I MUST move on. So I turned from Hawaiian to urban..hehe... one apple green wall...

and three fudge brown walls =)

I still have one more coat to paint on the walls but it's a small glimpse of the progress...=) When I get new furniture and the room is finished I'll post some more pictures of that as well!
