 HOW TO GROW SUNFLOWERS:

step 1: plant the seed in dirt

step 2: give it water 

step 3: give it sunshine and lovin' 

(aka oxygen-sweet talk it)

step 4: wait for it to grow..and...

WALA!

your sunflower baby is all grown up in a matter of weeks! not all of the buds may have survived...but the beauty of the flower makes all the time waiting worth while.

people will be envious of your beautiful flower. you took such good care of it, so you let them gaze and wish...

CRAP! what the heck person.

look at your flower! you think if you dont water your flower and give it love that the SUN will do that for you? 

eeer! wrong!

i guess i wasnt clear with my instructions on how to TAKE CARE of the flower after it has already grown! but it should be a given...

growing a sunflower is like growing a friendship.

if you dont take proper care of it, it will end up like this.

just because it is still a sunflower, doesnt mean its healthy and alive. 

most likely it doesnt even smell good anymore!

eventually...

it will die beyond repair.

it will become an ashy and ugly stick in your pot.

and soon enough, you might as well take it out and plant a new flower. 

so there you have it folks! how to grow a sunflower, just like growing and taking care of a friendship! good luck! hope yours survives :) but as long as you give it lovin' and water-youll be good :)

new job.

dear new job,

you start tomorrow and this is how you are making me feel.



im great with change, can't you tell? i LOVE change...i just will have to grow back all my hair before i get used to it :)

dont get me wrong, the job itself will be the BEST THING EVER. but the only problem now is that i am switching from one program for developmentally disabled clients to a completely different one,

different rules

different kids

different everything.

but lo! i will make tomorrow a great day because there is no point wasting it. 

life is given to us to discover new boundaries to conquer everyday.

im just excited that my new boundaries are full of non-average kids!  :)

spiritual giants.

this may seem like a typical churchie church song...

but it is one of the most beautiful songs i have ever heard.

i hope you have a beautiful day and feel the love of god in your day.

he is the source of all that we are.

i know that he lives, and that he would do anything to make sure my life is all that i want it to be. 

my love for my god is as unstoppable as his love for me.

today is a great day to live. 

live yours the best you can.

but make someone else's just a little better today.

live today, as if christ was walking right next to you......

because, in reality, he's there.

 even if you cant see him.

faith is believing something not with your eyes, 

but with your heart.

he lives. <3

story of my life.....at the moment.

this can be either way:you have lost connection to someone..or the other way around.

its super awkward. 

what are you supposed to do in that situation? 

i prefer to laugh it off...but uh..the world is not as insanely odd as i am.

but come on world, when the tough gets going,

life's too short to NOT just burst out in laughter.

enjoy the difficult times when you can.

turn a negative situation into a positive situation. :) <3

leaving the past

"LEAVING THE PAST, TO THE PAST, AND MOVE ON

I THOUGHT I COULD NEVER DO IT

I THOUGHT MY WORLD WILL STOP TURNING

I THOUGHT MY WORLD WILL COME TO AN END

I WAS LOCKED IN MY MISERY GAZING AT MY DOOM

THINKING AND FEELING ONLY OF MY PAIN

I WAS IN UTTER DISTRACTION COVERING MY PAIN

I WAS KILLING TIME AND SPENDING MONEY

GOING TO DIFFERENT PLACES AND BE WITH ANYONE

I WAS LAUGHING AND DANCING MY LIFE AWAY

EVERYTHING WAS TEARING ME UP INSIDE

NO ONE SEES AND TAKES NOTICE OF ME

I WAS COMPLETELY LOST IN MY MISERY

ONLY I CAN CHANGE, ONLY I CAN STOP MYSELF

I CAN STAY OR I CAN TAKE A STEP AND MOVE ON"
