Always best to take advice from the best

Every day is filled with the realization that we often fall short of the goals we set for ourselves, we are presented with moments where more patience would have been a virtue, and daily epiphanies that we are clearly not turning out to be what our innocent 6 year old imaginations had made us up to be. Truth be told, I say it's impossible to often live up to the expectations we set for ourselves, others have set for us and that invisible finish line that just seems to be getting farther and farther away. So I say, in order to not let life get you down too much, it's best to remember that sometimes when you run you will fall, when you drink you spill, when you cook it can burn, some days are hopscotch kind of days, and some days are getting -nailed-at-dodgeball kind of days...SO don't stress, take one day at a time, enjoy the moment live by these rules and if you don't have any regrets in life then you need to get out more!


  1. Accept the fact that some days you are the pigeon and some days you are the statue

  2. Always keep your words soft and sweet just in case you have to eat them

  3. Always read stuff that will make you look good if you die in the middle of reading it

  4. Drive carefully; its not just cars that can be recalled by their Maker

  5. If you can't be kind at least have the decency to be vague

  6. If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it

  7. It may be that your soul purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others

  8. Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time, because then you won't have a leg to stand on

  9. Nobody cares if you can't dance well, just get up and dance.

  10. Never buy a car you can't push.

  11. Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late

  12. When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

  13. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have the longer you live.

  14. Sometimes mistakes are just too fun to only make once.

  15. We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, and some dull. Some have weird names and all are different colours, but they all have to live in the same box.

  16. A truly happy person is someone who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Good things come to those who love....

I believe, or at least I hope that I believe that everyone will fall in love at least once. Others may experience it more, some less. I have no idea where I land on this continuum . I imagine somewhere between never wanting to date again, and wanting it all. Bit of a wide range, but you can never be too hasty! However, there have been a few experiences in which I never wish to relive, in fact even better, I have started to compose a list of things I would rather do than have to be left standing alone at the gas station of love using the self-service pump, aka go through that again! Get a hundred thousand paper cuts on my face Contemplate if everything I though was right is wrong (black is white, up is down, short is long...) Slam my fingers in a door (again and again and again! But only 3 times, any more than that is risking permanent damage) Shove an ice pick under my fingernails Wear black leather in the hottest weather Hit a tree, these fender benders aren't really killing me Ju...

The things I am thankful for

Image
With Thanksgiving coming and going this year I was blessed with the opportunity to sit in a room of 20+ people and share and listen to all the things in which the people whom I care the most about are thankful for in their lives. While this list can be entertaining with 9 wonderful nieces and nephews who spout off answers like "chocolate cake", "Auntie Rachel", "Dad" and "Lego", it is also filled with heartfelt answers of family, health, love and appreciation and of course with 4 girls in one family a few tears. I spent this week thinking about the simple things in life I was thankful for.... A brother who who always takes the time to listen Big sisters being patient with little sisters Cab drivers who know when to talk and when to be quiet PVR - so I never have to worry about missing all those girly shows Good friends who always make the bad days seem not so hard and the good days feel like heaven A mom who worries about you night and day but wo...

I've Learned That

Image
In a moment of self reflection the other day, I realized that while 25 was still quite a young age and I have plenty more years ahead of me to fill up with life's lessons, I was surprised at how easily 4 pages of scribble were produced when thought about some of the things I have learned in the first quarter of my life and even happier that for each lesson a wonderful memory went along with it. Be where you are; otherwise you miss your life....so I've learned that: You can't hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk It pays to believe in miracles and tell the truth When you wave at people in the country they always stop what they are doing and wave back You can tell a lot about a man by the way he hands 3 things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangles Christmas tree lights You can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life It's a lot easier to react then to think I can't visit a bookstore without buying something When the light turns green,...
