I haven’t been able o write for a few days, been sick with a bug that attacked my stomach.
With that said well I think I don’t take my health into consideration sometimes. I think many of us do. I appreciated the prayers and the advice many people have given me and well I must say sometimes we grow proud that we don’t listen to people that gone through the same things.
A few weeks a go a friend of mine had her kids sick also and well I notice that sickness is going around. Shot if you follow college football you see that the flu bug is around campus all over the country attacking student here and there. Sickness is right at the door wherethere is a flu bug, a cold or a stomach bug. I think as citizens we need to take care of ourselves.
I learn that many of us don’t do wellness, we don’t eat right, we don’t exercise and we don’t sleep proper either. You need to have all three of them to have a great healthy life. Eat a balance diet, don’t over do it on junk, two do exercise whether is just going for a walk or going to the gym and doing your routine workout, and then sleep we need at least 8 hrs of sleep and I think most people just get between 5-6 hrs each day. By not keeping up on this we start bringing our defenses down and we get sick. I think kids and the elderly are different and they need this more than a regular adult.
I personally have to say that I been a bit depress this few weeks ago and this has also affected my health. Sometimes our emotions also contribute to our health and well I came to this conclusion. I need to take care of myself and I need to do it now, I need to do wellness and I need to stop been so emotional about things and others people. I believe sometimes we care for others to much that we stop caring about ourselves. I have said this many times before but I think I hit bottom now. I need to worry about me and just me and take care of my health and my health only.
I need to worry more about me and go where I need to go in life. Wow I realized I have so much to live for and looked for. What I have really enjoyed this past day in bed is that I have had people around me reminding me of how much they care and I need to look forward to. I have to God for this time of sickness sometimes He makes us go into dark places to speak to us, to teach us about His love and His mercy, to teach us that not everything should be about a person its all about Him and His relationship to with us.
I think even though sickness God can show us a thing or two and in my case I hope not to get sick again cause this pass few days has been enough for me. So take care of your health, and if you must take care of those you care for health as well. This is my thought for shared hope you enjoyed it!!

Something Random!!
Today I just want to write about my day, I spent it mostly with mom and well fixing the house here and there. I relax for a bit and I went to church and hang out afterwards.
Is nice to have a day that’s full of productive events, I feel like I did a lot. Have you ever had one of those days? I’m sure you have, when you wake up in the morning knowing you had a lot of things to get done and you made a plan that may help you get through the day … yeah like if those actually go as plan huh? Well today was one of those days. I got new curtains for my living room, dinning room, and mom’s room. Went to the store and bought some stuff for the house and fixed our dryer. So many random things and yet I promise I will get to the point of today thought for shared.
First of all I'm learning to be a bit more open in my planning, meaning that I plan but I’m open to change, many times I think not been open-minded about that makes our day stressful. So keeping in mind that planning is a good thing but that the plan may change here and there by people or by different situations. I went to church today and till now I haven’t really talked a lot about God, but I know many of you know He is real and out there!
I love doing what I do at church, so let me tell you a bit about that! I’m the nursery coordinator, I’m in charge of making sure our volunteers are there when they supposed to be, making sure we have the material needed for Sunday school, we have the toys and snack up to standard and other little things here and there. I love working with kids I think they have a magic inside of them that will make you feel better if you had a bad day. You know I didn’t always wanted to work with the kids, I had a period in my life that I was lost out there trying to find out who I was and where I was going, hurting from things in life and trying to figure out how to overcome them, planning here and there getting frustrated of life.
So one day in a family birthday party I was asked to help out once in a wild with the nursery and just help them take care of the kids at church, I remember I didn’t want to go and well I was like oh man kids! They sure are going to hate me too! Can you believe it, the most amazing thing happen to me on that first day as a volunteer. I had maybe about 7 kids and they all behave well but the most amazing thing was that mostly each kid hug me that day and well I felt something inside of me, something amazing and great called loved but a pure loved, a healing loved, God has used those little tiny tots to heal me from things in my life. Amazingly little by little God has used the pure and honest caring love from those kids to transform me into a different person, so when I was appointed coordinator of the nursery department I felt a great joy I never thought I would be in there in wit responsibility. You see sometimes we plan things in life and things don’t work out like we plan, sometimes we have to go through other paths to get through were we want and sometimes we make mistakes that hurts us deeply that changes who we are, but to all that theirs hope, theirs something out there that would allowed you to be a better person and if we let it and we become a bit flexible we can sure learn a lot and things in our life can change.
Now let me tell you I didn’t heal fast like in a few weeks it took time and sometimes I was hesitant in going to help out in the nursery but I made a choice and I took putting aside my pride to realized I needed help. Yea from a group of kids that can’t even speak right yet I took it from them, they though me that life is worth living and making sure we have fun and we enjoy it! They gave me loved without asking for anything in return and they were kids, sincere and pure. I still have a lot to learn and a lot to work on and want to achieve, so my life is like my day today full of plans and ideas but just like today I’m flexible to change. I wait for things to surprise me; I plan and carry plans out some work some don’t. If they don’t I’m learning to let go and move on, I’m learning to accept life for what is worth, worth living!
So if you have plans for your future whether is going to a new school, taking up a new career or changing jobs, good plan out but be flexible to change because you never know where one open door will lead you, you will never know who may help you out in achieving something special, be flexible in that, that opportunities can come in the tiniest packages, as tiny as a child.
This is my thought for shared hope it helps and don’t hesitate to shared with others if you may!

Great Outdoors!!!
Is it me or is our weather getting hot again!! Well I think it is. Living in So Cali is something many people love. You got beach, mountains, lakes, deserts, just a few hours from each other. I for once don’t like much of So Cali, maybe because I done my shared of traveling and well I have to say we have a lot of great land here in the U.S. a lot of that we should be proud of and take time to see and get to experience.
I’m a nature person, love watching the sunrise and sunsets, love walking in the beach or going to a lake and sitting in the middle of it and watching my surroundings, Love jogging or hiking in the woods, camping and listening to the great noises at night and watching what comes around a campsite if you sit there motionless, Love taking pictures in the dessert early mornings or taking pictures at the beach when the sun hits the water and you see many different colors jump at you all at once and then the light goes off and you the tiny little spots up in the sky. So when I got the opportunity of taking a road trip that was from So Cali to the great city of New York I jump of excitement! This was a great experience let me add, one of my most memorable experiences I have had I remember different views of that drive many that has helped me out through the difficult times.
One of them was me driving through Tennessee during a raining afternoon. It wasn’t pouring but it wasn’t a drizzling it was in between which I like to called “Poridrizzle”! Yeah new word! The trees were sort greenish/orange and well driving through them was amazing and with the rain coming down you got this odor in the air that was nature! I think about this experiences, it helps me get through bad days, thorough does days that well I don’t want to get up from bed and I just want to lay there. Thinking about if puts a sense of adventure and it helps me get up and get through the day.
I remember once I went to a Mission trip to Northern Cali and we went to a lake with our group we rented those paddle boats and me and four of us paddle to the middle of the lake, I must say I was wearing a life jacket since well I don’t know how to swim, we all jump out and sat there in the water far from land and other people, it was amazing and at the same time it felt a bit freaky. But the stillness of the moment was magic. The water that was a bit wintry and calm and it felt good. Watching the woods that were on the other side and seen the color of the trees and the calmness of the atmosphere around us, I think about that time when I fell helpless, when I had one of those stressful days. When someone has made me angry and I want to knock out the first person that comes and stands in my way. I like to think back to that time at the lake were stillness was something that felt great, peaceful, tranquil, silent.
How about the time I drove through the great desert of New Mexico and I must had seen like 20 shooting starts in just a few minutes and I felt like a very small atom in this great thing call universe. Where my eyes looked up to the sky and I couldn’t believe how many dazzling starts my eyes could see. Yes I think of that time when I feel like theirs no hope and I feel like giving up and not dreaming not reaching for my goals. That specific moment reminds me that theirs so many wishes and dreams I yet have not accomplish and that are waiting for me to grab hold.
I think sometimes we all need experiences like that were you can just get out of the city and experience the world around us. The world that we ignore and we don’t see when we are to busy with our daily life in the city! So if you ever feel like you need some time off and you think your world is just crumbling in, take time and escape for a drive to the great outdoors sit silently and still and listen to what’s out there take a picture of that moment because you may have to come back to it and grab hope from it!
I sure do! I hope this helps and remember this is my thought for shared!

Nothing Gold Can Stay
Nature's first green is gold
Her hardest hue to hold
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
My though today comes from an old poem that was probably read and heard by many of us back in school. For those still in school you might heard about a great writer by the name of Robert Frost, he is one of my favorite poets.
Nothing Gold Can Stay is a poem that was introduces to me by Ponyboy a character in this wonderful book called the Outsiders.
I read some of my favorite poems today as I meditated in my room about where my life should go now. I realized that I had missed out on a lot of things in life but at the same time I have great memories of awesome people and great experience. I’m not a 14 yr old that will stay in my room reading and writing about the color of the sky and wondering if the boy at school had a crush on me as much as I did. Wondering if I have passed my English test and why guys my aged smell like they never shower in days. Oh yea 14 was a great time and well like the poem says Nothing Gold can stay. I wonder what Robert Frost meant by Gold, I wonder and I looked up the word gold…We all know what gold is and how precious and well a bit rare it can be. So I meditated and wonder Nature’s first green is gold? Nature itself sees the beginning of something as Gold, something rare but then again extremely precious, Her Hardest hue to hold, she tries her hardest to hold that shade, that particular moment. Wow I was like Nature sees birth as something precious that she tries to hold on to it as much as she can. Her early leaf’s a flower, But only so an hour. A flower that’s something amazing, pretty, that even nature knows it would only last for a moment. Then leaf subsides to leaf, little by little this becomes a less active and less intense action till oops the word grief appears in Frost poem. So dawn goes down today, Nothing Gold can stay.
A poem looked by so many reminded me that things have a beginning and a end and usually we are excited about when we start something and when it ends we just have grief. Like life, I think even in the trajectory of our life we get chances of Gold, Our childhood was a moment in time we wont get back and we treasure the memories and the friends we made there, also our teenage years wow those can be say by many are the most important and full of happy memories, Our young adulthood times were we explore yourself in freedom and new friendships, new school and careers and jobs, that too can be say is like Gold. Or how about the joy of becoming a parent, or getting married or growing old with someone, watching your kids become parents and seeing their seed grow up. Wow now I’m not there yet but sounds like Gold to me. I think we need to take each moment we get like Gold, appreciated and enjoy it. I sure sometimes don’t. I think Nature can give us a lesson on this subject and Mr. Frost saw that and wrote about it. Each little time we get here is like Gold because it won’t last forever and well we need to do the best with was it given to us. So no matter what you get today enjoy it and make the best with it because tomorrow will be another day and you won’t ever get today back again.
This is my though to shared hope you enjoy it and I hope it may be helpful too!

A though!
Another day has come and gone and much can be said about today but to be honest I wanted to share something that would hopefully be helpful to everyone out there.
Today I was talking to someone that once again has inspired me to do what I know what to do best and that's shared my feelings and opinion with anyone that may read this.
As I meditated about my pass 29 yrs I came to a conclusion. Life is a big huge opportunity and we need to make the best out of it.
Sometimes we let people control us in one way or another and we miss out in opportunities that could be life changing. One advice I can give you is if it feels right in your heart go for it!! If is a mistake learn from it and move forward!!! If is a success also learn and shared with others your success! Learn to fail and learn to succeed.
If your family stays in the way well loved them, respect them but don’t let you limit your decision making. Learn little by little not to depend on nobody but yourself and above all be grateful for what you have even if is small, God wont give you much if you cant learn to appreciated the little things in life!!
Hope this helps and I will see you tomorrow with another though for shared!!
