I'm learning to be mindful of other people's suffering

Good ol' Maryland

This is a mural in Havre de Grace Maryland by the water. It shows  our symbols and things we are known for. Sadly it doesn't show drama or boredom that is faced on such a small city and the small county

Generosity

So I'm a waitress at the waffle house and we get military personal from the base near by. We had these three army solders come in and order food and two other patrons wanted to buy their food just to show their appreciation for just being in the military and serving their country. The two patrons fought on who was going to pay the  bill.
I just thought out was the nicest thing to do to some Just because. I love how the whole world hasn't forgotten to thank people with little gestures ever now and then.

Portable altar

Was feeling crafty one night and painted an old silverware box with a mermaid which glows in the dark

A little more than half of summer vacation is gone. It's funny how I had been moping around the last few days saying I was so bored. But after watching a drunk driver almost kill himself and his older brother and many of the new experiences lately, my summer hasn't been boring but rather interesting. I have learned so much in so little time. I needed to time to just realize what I needed and what I wanted. The following are some of my thoughts and life lessons.

1. Life is just way too short to go moping around wishing for something better or wishing for the good times of the past. The past will never come back, let's just face it.

2. Love can come more than once in a lifetime. If the ex isn't in love with you and you still have feelings for them do something about it. If that person was just another unhealthy relationship and you only want them back because you miss being loved or are lonely then you'll never be able to meet the person who will truly love you one day.

3. It's ok for a girl to sleep around sometimes, but within reason (don't go having sex with every Tom Dick and Harry every night. A guy once every week or two weeks isn't that bad. Be careful, take precautions, bring condoms and be safe, ). It helps get over the one you were pining for especially when they don't love you.

4. Tell people how you feel about them. Almost all my friends are moving away and it's just important for me to thank them for being a friend, tell them you hate them, tell them you love them if you love them. I had a crush of 5 years and it just felt so good to let him know (before he went off to Afghanistan) that I loved and supported him and would always be here when he needed me.

5. Be true to yourself. I just needed to learn what I loved, needed and how to pursue what is right for me. Why should I care what others think of me.

6. Be more social, I need to make new friends and get out there and let them see me for the wonderful person that I am.

7. Stop complaining and start doing. If you don't like your life do something about it

8. No one can ever love you if you can't love yourself.

9. Women always have traits like their mothers. Ok as much as I don't get along with mine, we are just way too a like. We're outspoken, caring and demand respect for ourselves and others.

10. Question authority. After listening to the new Lupe Fiasco album, I realize that I was so uninformed about many political aspects in the modern age. Wikipedia is an amazing tool in understanding them and getting an unbiased opinion. But it's good to hear both sides of an argument to understand what you actually believe.

11. Be wild, be crazy. I'm too young to feel this old.

12. Laughter is really great medicine, crying clears the soul.

New Start: Plant flowers!

Finally a new post after for long. Today I did some gardening and planted some flowers. What kind of flowers you say? Moonflowers, Morning glories, Sweet peas and Carnations. I had this inspiration to be all green the last few days after I planted some seed and they are growing! Plus the summer solstice was yesterday and I wanted to have a home for all those fae who will be roaming my garden. Oh yeah I forgot to say that I have plants that attract more butterflies. I love me some butterflies and dragon flies. Enough with all the rambling.

Love and brightest blessings

Have you Shared Some Kindness Today?

So this woman came in to work today from Columbia and ordered two coffees and a brownie which came up to 8 something. Well she tried to pay and her foreign card didn't work on our registers. She called her husband to go outside to their car and get a credit card. Well the lady behind her offered to pay for it so her husband didn't have to go out in the cold to go get it. The lady from Columbia argued for awhile with the other woman. She gave in and the other lady paid for her drinks and the other woman's drinks. Then she told the woman from Columbia that it was just a nice thing to do and that she was honored to give something to someone else. And no she wasn't a hippy or rich or something like that, she was in her late 30's early 40's and in jeans.It was just nice.
You don't get many people who just do nice things for each other anymore. I mean it's not like we have to pay for things for anything but just doing something nice. I mean karma isn't the only reason we should do generous acts. We should want to because we want to better mankind. That's why I love when people are just doing things because they know it's just a good thing to do. It makes the world a better place when we just stop and do something to make someone's day.
Love always,

Valentine's Day made me understand this it's not about the presents or the closeness [even though that is nice and everything] Being 400 and so miles away gives me a new appreciation of what I have. I not only have gotten closer to my sisters in college but me and Mike can see if we are gonna make it if he decides to do something overseas where I won't see him for awhile. But it does have it's drawbacks. I miss him alot while I'm here but it makes it so much better when I'm home. So I'm not bitter when I'm all alone here, I just think of I'll be just like this when I go home. :)

Valentine's Day 2010

So I'm not very happy with how this day will be this year. Not only am I over 400 miles away from my Valentine, but there are so many couples who are spending it right in front of me. I'm a little bitter in that I won't be able to see someone who loves me besides my sisters. Thank you Blizzard 2010 keeping me and my honey from being together this year. like he really cares, to him this is another pointless holiday in which he has to be overly romantic and spend money.
I guess I can suck it up and deal this year and next year being so far away and hope that next year I can be where I want to be.
