It's not very often that a song has the power to move me to tears. When a song like that does come around, I make sure I tell every one I know about it. I just recently heard the song "If Your Reading This" by Tim McGraw and I would like my readers to go listen to this song.

Live In The Moment
Have you ever stopped what you're doing and taken a moment to observe what's going on around you?
Throughout the summer, I felt out of my element. I missed being with my theatre friends 24/7. So when I sat to watch the theatre auditions for 'My Sister Eileen' today, I was in the highest of spirits. I have to admit- I'm most content when I'm in our school theatre, while surrounded by the friends I call my family. It's the one time I'll never feel out of place.
I often blog about my struggles with living in the moment. Today, that didn't seem like a problem for me. As I sat in the theatre this afternoon, I looked around at all the smiling faces -- the faces I missed over the summer -- and I was overcome with peace. This is where I feel comfortable. This is where I belong.
I try to stop what I'm doing every now and then to capture a memory and really enjoy it. I would like my readers to try this as well. Next time your in your element, I want you to stop and really take a look around.
Capture a memory, feed off the energies, enjoy it.

Just A Thought
Just a thought to share with readers and bloggers:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -Mark Twain
Have a great week!!

Plans
I have the type of personality where I need to have everything planned. For the longest time I lived by the quote, "Failing to plan is planning to fail". It seemed like a logical concept- if you plan everything, you'll succeed.
As long as I can remember, I have been mapping out my entire life. My college, my wedding, my job. The list goes on. Up until recently, I could have probably told you my entire future if it went as planned, but that's exactly the point. Things never go as planned.
So I'm now trying to change my ways. I'm living by a new quote- "Expect the best, plan for the worst, and prepare to be surprised." At least I'm going to try. After all, old habits die hard.
