All Dogs Go To Heaven

She had a nose that was constantly working. Eye's that were always smiling. A tail longer than a baby. An endless amount of things to say and no problem with saying them loud. The happiest heart and most beautiful colors on her coat. She was a great listener, and the best entertainer. She loved carrots and pretending to be intemidating to squirles. She liked to lick the lotion on my legs and cracked me up when she would waggle her eyebrows when she was half asleep. She had an endless amount of hair that is like glitter, once it gets on you there's no getting off. But thats ok, I want her with me. I love you Chanely, Thanks for always being the one thing we all had in common, the one thing all of us always loved and will never stop loving.

psshtt....

I do this. I do this all the freaking time. Shame on you for using me the way you did the first time. But you know what? Shame on me for letting you use me the next...uh well like 50 times HA! That's OK though. I have learned so much from all of it. I have learned that I am worth the effort EVERYDAY not just every few days. I have learned that I don't care TOO much, I just need to find people that care just as much as me. I can't even pretend like this is about one person, because being completely honest with myself, its not, I let people do this to me all the time. Despite fervent efforts on my part (well occasionally) I'm not so sure I can just say, hey! I'm gonna start looking out for myself a bit! This is unrealistic for someone like me. However, even though its going to hurt me, I need to slowly start easing these people out of my life. I'm not, and have ever tried to pretend to be, some amazing person, but you know what? I put everything I have into the relationships around me. If I have ever told you that I love you, it's because I sincerely do. I put every effort I can into making sure that you are happy in every aspect. So do I not deserve the same? I wonder if I stopped trying so hard to reach out to people to make sure that they're doing good...how many relationships of mine would die out? How many people that I care SO much about would try at all? I know that I have best friends who would....but then again I think I know who wouldn't. So guess what I have to say to all of that malarkey...Psshtt...

JUST DO IT!

Firstly I would like to cordially welcome you all into a highly anticipated year! 2012! I hope you have all achieved your life's dreams because apparently we are all going to die this year....sorry. Some of you may be laughing, as have I once or twice perhaps, but you know what? Maybe they're on to something. I cannot even begin to list the amount of things I have set out to do then justified not finishing. We all do it. So what if instead of making this just another year, we live it like the last. What if we do everything we've said we've always wanted to do. What if we start becoming a person that our Savior would be proud of. What if we actually do loose that few pounds hanging over the pants that use to fit us. What if we just do it? I spend a whole lot of my time coming up with superb scenario's in my mind. I'm a regular pro at the pretending games, which is probably why I get along so well with children. So I guess my goal for this new year is to have no goals. No, because goals are something you just "reach" to complete. This year I am going to set expectations for myself. All I need to do now....is think of them.....hahaha I'm just kidding :)
