Singing at the Top of My Lungs

I have decided that the last 5-8 posts have been serious, and motivational, covering deep topics.

So today, I am doing something a bit different.

Lately, when I feel down, I have started writing down and composing lists of things that make me happy, make me smile, or I am lucky to have. So here are some of them:

- I am currently eating Sushi.
- I bought this radio transmitter so I can listen to my music when I drive. This usually results in a half hour concert on my way to and from work.
- I have a new cuddle buddy. He's a stuffed giraffe that a good friend gave me and his name is Hiemer.
- I love the rain, and it has been raining all weekend.
- This joke.
What kind of shoes does a mouse wear? -------------------------------------- squeakers. HA!

This picture. Gets me. Every. Time.

In just 6 days I will be heading to San Fransico to enjoy the sun, be around some of my dear friends, and tour everything!

- I have such a wonderful job with an amazing boss who always keeps life entertaining.

- My sister Phoenix just came back from Hawaii and we had so much girl talk last night.

- One of my close friends stayed the whole weekend at my house and we had fun going to a church activity.

Out of all these wonderful things, I love that I am alive. My heart is still beating, meaning I still have a purpose to fulfill and lives to meet. I am so lucky to live my life with all my limbs, my senses, and my faith.

So when you find yourself feeling down. Think of the things that make you happy. Find funny pictures, look up pick up lines, or start being grateful for things you have. I guarantee that you will find yourself happier than you were previously, and a better attitude towards yourself and others.

Try it. I dare you.

Your "Thoughts and Prayers" Are Bullshit.

Yes. I said it. I also thoroughly agree with that statement. Here's why. As I've been going through pretty huge and life-changing medical problems, my family has been physically nowhere near me. Granted my intestine decided to swell up in Saskatoon, which isn't convenient for anyone. It's given me so much time to think, in some scary and painful moments. Let me preface this by saying I'm not a religious person, However from what I know, God, helped those in need, he didn't just pray for the sick, he visited them, and he served them. Let's imagine that when that blind guy came to he Jesus, Jesus said, "You're in my thoughts and prayers" and then left. That story would have turned out very differently. We all do and say things in our lives almost out of habit. Like think of how many times you've said "Hey how are you?" and not actually listened for the answer. Lots, I know. I do this ALL the time, and I'm working incr...

Summing it Up Through Songs

As always I like to sum up the year, month by month.. however that post comes the first day of January. Look for it. Today, I will sum up the biggest part of my 2013 year through music lyrics of songs that I feel have touched me, inspired me, or reminded me. Enjoy. I heard the doctor, but what did he say, I knew I was fine about this time yesterday.- Ben Rector, When a Heart Breaks. If you're lost and alone, or you're sinking like a stone, Carry on. - FUN, Carry On. It's time to defy gravity- Wicked, Defying Gravity It's the way you do the things you do that make me fall in love with you- Rocket to the Moon, Dakota It's okay not to be okay, sometimes it's hard to follow your heart. Tears don't mean you're losing, everybody's bruising, just be true to who you are- Jessie J, Who you are. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, what doesn't kill you makes you a fighter- Kelly Clarkson, Stronger You can't carry i...

To the Moment When I Thought I was Dying

"This might be it." "Breathe." "I know it hurts, but breathe Shay. You need to breathe." For a moment I start to forget how important oxygen is, it’s like my body stops caring about breathing, it hurts too much, and it’s way too much work for the little o2 that’s coming to me. My body starts to comfort itself, things are going tingly, dark, and I’m getting cold. I can feel the laboring slowing down. The pain increases again, my eyes start to close, and my feet are completely numb. I feel a cold tear drip down the side of my face as my world slips into darkness. "No." "Wake up." "This isn’t it for you." "You aren’t going like this." I force another painful breath in. "Ouch." I could go on, and in more detail, however for the sake of my very terrified brain, that's the only piece you'll get from my journal. That came the second night I was...
