The very beginning

Let's start from the very beginning... it's a very good place to start. Name that movie! I am laying in bed. It is 12:27 am. Just thinking g. Thinking I need to write. What about? Just my thoughts I think. I had surgery on my knee. Totally tore my PCL whole tubing at East Canyonz ugh! I don't have time for this kind of thing. I have a 6 and 2 year old little boys! It has made me think. More or less about service. True blue selfless service. And how I need to be better.there has been a huge hurricane down in Texas. Crazy flooding, people stranded or separated from their families. And here I am complaining about knee surgery. There have. Wen a ton of efforts to help the people down there. It just amazes me how we can come together so fast and serve and help each other. Made me kind of tear up the other day seeing all the images from Down there. What the people are going through. I'm so grateful for the people in my life that have stepped up and help me and my family. They have brought in dinners, helped clean, do laundry, play with my boys, bring my pick me up gifts. They have just been the good in my worlds in this world. And I so so appreciate it! We need more of the good. More of the selfless service. More taking care of each other. Here's to being the good. Serving more. And just being happy! Good night!! Xoxo

The beginning. A wave.

Be the good. This statement has been in and out of my thoughts lately. I've been thinking a lot about what my legacy will be. What have I done in my life that matters to anyone? I look around an see what others have done, and are doing and can't help but question what I am doing. Am I making a difference? Is what I am doing changing lives or making someone better? I am a stay at home mom. I have a 3 yea old son. I think it is a huge responsibility to stay home and raise children. Teach them the good. What is the good? In my neighborhood, no one waves. We all live in holes, and pretend not to notice each other. What's funny is, when you think about it, long and hard, we are all fighting the same battle: life. Once in a blue moon, someone will wave back to me. Can I say that that makes my hear, happy! A wave. It is the simple things in life that can make a person happy. As I was questioning my role, and influence, I was reminded by my little boy how cool I was. I am his world. Nt that this is a blog to remind myself how good I really am. It is to remind the world to be the good. To wave. To smile at the stranger with an armful of burdens. To say hi to the cashier. To get off your phone, and pay attention. I want to create awareness to be nice. Be kind. Be the good in the world. We are running out of that here. I extend a challenge to start with a wave. See what goes from there. Remember, we are all fighting the same battle. Xoxo Me
