It seems like the past week or so has been filled with nothing but tragedy. Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michale Jackson and now Steve McNair! Granted none of these people I knew personally, but it still comes as a shock that all of these individuals were taken away around the same time.
It makes me really think about my life and what I have done in the first 34 years. Have I really lived? Have I done things that truly make me happy? The answer will have to be not totally.
I had a conversation with my really good buddy and he was telling me that I have to do the things that make me happy. Start living because life is just too short. I've allowed certain things to get in the way of fulfilling happiness (money, time, work, etc.) I can't allow that to happy anymore.
I am truly making the commitment to live by my faith in God and LIVE! I'm going to start doing things that I really want to do. In other words, I'm going to start making time for me. If I want to just sit in at night and watch movies I'm going to do that. If I want to go bowling I'm going to do that. I want people to remember me as someone who loved to do what she wanted to do and had a great time doing it.
So consider this a point that "Nae is making some changes". Some things and/or people have to go. Everybody can't stay in your life forever. But I do know that life is really short and time stops for no man. I'm going to live, live, live!! Thanks Jibba. Your words inspired this thought process!
Glad to see you're thinking about what makes you happy.
