another minute, another hour, another day, another page, another chapter in your life.

lately i have been thinking about about the different chapters that happen in our lives. sometimes it seems though that we are missing out on the current chapter wishing we were in a previous chapter of life. some may be wishing they were still in college, or perhaps even in high school.

i've come to realize that the best chapter is being written right now.

i've come to realize that what i am going through is the most exciting thing i have ever read. it's a book that cannot be put down. i am sure the chapters ahead are exciting as well, just like the previous chapters were. but i have no desire to skip ahead and no desire to go back. right here, right now in this moment is incredible.

every day is a new day, and has yet to be written. i suppose you could stand by and let life write your story or you could grab the pen and live yourself and enjoy the ink that is being put to paper.

live your life, write your chapers!!

I like simple.

I like simple because everything else is so chaotic and crazy and busy that the few things that are simple can really catch your attention.

It seems like we have so many things, devices, technology, etc that are meant for us to keep life simple and make it easier. All it really does though is make us more complicated. Make us more distracted and less focused.

Why is it so hard to sit with the TV off? Why is it so hard to not check facebook or your stocks or news feeds on the internet or on your phone? Why?

Some of the greatest things involve nothing. The starry sky in the country with the millions of starts lighting up the sky. It's truly amazing. No tv's, no phones, no internet, but so many people miss out on it. I've made comments before on the rhythm of life and how important it is to just breathe and live. And I really think it's something we could all really use in our lives, it's just so hard to get yourself in the mindset to do it.

Breathe. Relax. Live. Rhythm. Live your rhythm.

Happy 4th of July!

Nothing is better than a nice long weekend. You have time to get your rhythm of life going if you never seem to catch, you have an extra weekend day. Be in the moment. Be with your kids, with your family, with your friends. Leave work and bills somewhere else and just enjoy life.

So have fun with the fireworks, and bonfires and hot dogs!
