Wow, what a week. The past six days have been filled with so much death and sadness. I got an update from my dad on the story I wrote about earlier this week. The boy’s mother did end up passing away, and it turns out that the other driver was arrested for DWI. Then, three tragic loses in Hollywood: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, and Michael Jackson. And, one of my best friends from college lost her father this week as well. I hope they all rest in peace, and that their families, friends, and fans can find some comfort in the happy memories they shared with those who are no longer with them. Remember, if you know someone going through a tough time, all you have to do is be there.
After a week like this, we all need a little encouragement. So, I brought out some old, reliable words of wisdom:
This is a set of bookmarks that my aunt gave me a long time ago. I was probably a teenager at the time, and I had no idea how powerful these words actually were. If you can’t read them, they say:
The only way 2 live happily ever after is 2 do it one day at a time.
Success is loving what you do! (DO WHAT YOU LOVE!)
if you are too busy 2 laugh, u are too busy.
Despite the pastel colors, metallic print, and numbers in place of letters…if you think about it, these are truly words to live by. Take life one day at a time, and make the most of every day. Do what you love if you want to achieve true success; It’s worth the risk. No matter how much you have going on in your life, good or bad, make sure you always have time to laugh every day. Have fun, live a little, don’t let yourself have any regrets.
