To Be Four Again

If you could go back in time what would you do differently? Who would you choose to keep out of your life? What path would you choose?

Would your future look similar to what it is today or be completely different?

As I sit and look at my four year old these are the questions I ask myself. Kids are so innocent. They have no idea how cruel the world can be, how some days are just a struggle to get through and if certain choices are made it will affect their future forever.
The one thing you can learn from a child is to never take life too seriously that you forget to enjoy it.

Madison's laugh, smile and outgoing personality remind me to have fun. Kids, by actions alone, will remind you to lighten up and live a little.
There are days when I come home and I'm in the worst mood and in an instant Madison will spark that thought in my mind to remain positive and to continue following my dreams.

Remember to smile, laugh and enjoy life. Sometimes it's ok to act like a four year old. Run, play a few pranks on friends and family, roll around on the floor, give each other piggy back rides and just be yourself.

We all get caught up in being adults but somewhere inside of us we are still a kid at heart. Let's make the most of today and if something is causing too much stress, anxiety and sadness CHANGE IT!!

Will You Be The Change?

Today another horrific event took place in Boston. Another bombing, another killing another selfless act made by a coward(s). Anytime something like this takes place by heart is heavy and I am filled with sadness. Who could do such a thing? Who would want to hurt innocent people? Was it worth it? No. What does it gain you? Nothing. Not a thing. One terrible tragedy affects so many and still it keeps happening. Innocent people die. Cities are destroyed. Hearts are broken.

The United States Of America must work as a team to turn this world around or we ourselves will destroy it. The stupidity and lack of judgment will one day crumble everything we have worked so hard for. We must put our love and happiness in fixing what is broken. Be kind. Show respect. Love one another. Come together as one. Stop the judgment. Step forward and help as many as we can.

The selfless people who ran towards the bombing and towards the injured shows that there are still people out there willing to put up a fight, to help one another and to do whatever it takes to save another life. So many people out there have so much good inside. Why not use it? Use it to lend a hand to someone in need. Maybe the person who is thinking about committing the next act of violence is sitting right next to you. Would you know it? Have you ever said hello to them? Do you know them?

One small act of kindness can change the world, change a person and save a life if not many.

 

What will you do to make a change?

 

Our prayers and thoughts are with the victims of 4/15/13.
