Song challenge

Todays Challenge(from the positivity group):
Pick a song that you feel fits your life presently--not in the past or with hopes for the future. This is the song I chose: Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol
I picked this song because it really does fit my life and mood right now. The desire of just wanting to close off the world and be with who i want to be with, laying next to each other and not caring about anything else but each other.. Ive loved this song for a long time but it wasn't until recently that it really had meaning for me. Haunting words, beautiful lyrics. and when i hear the following lines they kill me everytime.

"All that I am, All that I ever was ,is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see"


Its amazing to look into perfect eyes and also to feel perfect in those eyes. It doesnt come along often. I will always be grateful for those eyes and how they looked at me...if only for a moment!

yesterday

Yesterday was a great summer day. It was hot but not humid. Sunny but just enough clouds for an occasional shade and the water temp was warm enough but still cool enough to refresh you . I went to my friend chris' house. He has a house right on a beautiful lake in New York about 2hrs north of NYC. The lake is amazing. Its big and clean and sounded by tons of beautiful houses and boats. I seriously want to move there (in fact i think i might have said that to him about 20 times hahaha) While we got ready and changed into our bathing suits, he prepared his killer vodka punch. Then we all headed down to the boat and we were off. Sailing around the lake for a while before we dropped anchor in a cove with other boats. Everyone had music playing and people were floating around or swimming or even riding a banana boat. It was a great time! I didn't waste any time getting in the water, first swimming around then finally settling on a float. Basking in the sun with a cup of the punch in my hand while laughing with friends and me and melissa singing 'YOU'RE SO VAIN' , in that moment life couldn't get any better. Finally after sometime we decided we were too pruney and we got out of the water. We headed back towards the dock.(the long way) and then enjoyed dinner on the dock. It was such a great day and it couldnt have been a better ending. The following pics were of the sunset...enjoy!

watch what u wish for

for all those people who were so sick of the snow and how they cant wait for summer...this is what you wanted hahaha (took this pic in my friends car about 20 mins ago...wow its hot)..... I am just so happy that today will be spent in part AC and Part pool before I have to pack up to go to my friends lake house. I am really looking forward to it. Beautiful house on a beautiful lake upstate NY. Away from my work, and stress and maybe even some of this heat! :) SOOOOO looking forward to riding on his boat tomorrow and drinking some of his famous orange dream drinks....yummmy but deadly haha (im sure i will be drunk by 1p hahaha)

5 principles

I saw these posted on Facebook in a group I belong to. I really like the principles and I would love to try and achieve these in my daily life. (thanks to Christine for sharing)

The 5 Reiki Principles can be used as a daily affirmation:
Just for today, I will not be angry.
Just for today, I will not worry.
Just for today, I will be grateful.
Just for today, I will do my work honestly.
Just for today, I will be kind to every living thing.

Beautiful and very positive :)

MIDNIGHT

GBE Week # 9 Topic : MIDNIGHT (for those paying close attention i was a slacker and skipped week # 8 hahaha)



The topic this week for the GBE2 (group blogging experience) was MIDNIGHT. This scene was the first thing that came to my mind when I heard the word MIDNIGHT. This is one of my favorite movie scenes of all time and it just happens to take place on New years eve at Midnight. I have seen this movie countless times and every time its the same thing: my eyes wide and locked on this scene, a small soft smile creeps on my lips and I hold my breath as I watch billy crystal do what every girl dreams of....he makes THE GRAND GESTURE! In more times in my life than I can count, I have dreamt of being on the receiving end of the GRAND GESTURE. The grand gesture is a preferably public profession of a guys undying love despite all odds and obstacles while making the girl feel that he has never loved anyone like her, will never love anyone again like her and will do anything to win her love, then ending with an extremely passionate kiss. This scene is one of the finest examples of the grand gesture and of a happy ending, Both of which (based on my past experiences) are like a winning lotto ticket;beautiful to think and dream about but it probably wont ever happen to you in your lifetime. But even with my all cynicism toward love and the possibility of ever receiving the grand gesture, i will continue to watch this movie over and over. Every time waiting for this scene, watching it like its the first time Ive ever seen it and secretly hoping and praying that MY Mr Right will someday come make his grand gesture on one lonely MIDNIGHT!

So at this moment if wrote I how felt it wouldnt be entertaining for anyone to read ( and Im not completely sure I would want to write it down because then I would have to see it in black and write and right now I rather live in the grey) SOOOOO instead i just post some of the things make me happy so I can take my mind off the other. Hope you enjoy :)
