just a thought...

So this might be a slightly different type of blog but I’d like to discuss something that has been on my mind lately. As some of you know life decided to give me a couple of wake up calls this semester which led me to 2 unexpected trips home to Edmonton. Well I want to talk about the latter one. How many of us go through life saying “It won’t happen to me” or “nothing is going to happen to someone I care about” but then, when something does happen, it wakes you up and gets you thinking. I can lose anyone without notice. You don’t have to be old.

There’s so many songs that talk about this like “love like there’s no tomorrow” or “the last day of my life” or “If tomorrow never comes”. It’s a good message, cause honestly, you never know. It makes me look at things differently now. You know the small things, making sure I say goodbye to my friends before I go back to Lethbridge and make sure I get a hug from them, getting calls from friends that are traveling in bad weather to make sure that they made it home. Telling people that they are the bestest friends ever, or show how much I appreciate them. And it makes stupid little fights or disagreements seem so stupid so you want to drop it and just go back to being friends. That’s what’s important. What if you have a stupid fight or you leave mad and the next day you here that they are gone? I don’t know about you but I’d feel really bad and stupid for leaving things the way they were left.

Now some of you might know the song ‘my little girl’ by tim mcgraw. That has become one of my favorite songs of all time and now every time I hear it on the radio or on my mp3 player or computer, this huge smile comes across my face and I get this calming feeling. It helped last week… I was working on my big project on Wednesday and got super frustrated and overwhelmed and I was listening to the music on my computer and that song came on and for a few moments (well the duration of the song) everything around me kinda stopped and I thought that everything would be fine, nothing mattered. And eventhough that ended after the song ended. It’s a good feeling and I love that song.

That is all I guess, luv ya all friends
