Day 28: Babies

I started working at a daycare when I was 16 or 17 years old. I fell in love with infants immediately. They threw up and pooped on me but I always showed them love. Babies are so special and so smart. I hope my friends and family continue to have them. Lol.

This is my baby cousin Caiden at six months. Isn’t he a cutie?!?!

Day 27: Serenity

Took a thirty minute walk today to clear my mind and spirit. Felt good. Be blessed.

God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time;
Enjoying one moment at a time;
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace;
Taking, as He did, this sinful world
as it is, not as I would have it;
Trusting that He will make all things right
if I surrender to His Will;
That I may be reasonably happy in this life
and supremely happy with Him
Forever in the next.
Amen.

Day 23: Music

I would say that my musical style is a bit old school. I’ll listen to just about anything but I love old school R&B, alternative rock, country and jazz. I listen to pop only in the car to get me energized. The new tunes they play now are catchy but they are not timeless. There are some tunes that I will NEVER tire of listening to over and over again.

Here are some of my favorite melodies. Take a listen when you get a chance.

1. Luther Vandross — Here and Now
2. Sunday Kinda Love — Ella Fitzgerald
3. You Are My Lady — Freddy Jackson
4. Turn Off the Lights — Teddy Pendegrass
5. Every Time I Close My Eyes — Babyface
6. Human Nature — Michael Jackson
7. I Can’t Make You Love Me — Bonnie Rait
8. When You Love Someone — Bryan Adams
9. My Heart Will Go On — Celine Dion
10. Sweet Love — Anita Baker
11. Amazed — Lonestar
12. A Song For You — Donny Hathaway
13. Always — Atlantic Starr
14. Just My Imagination — The Temptations
15. Shining Star — Earth, Wind & Fire
16. Baby Hold On To Me — Gerald Levert
17. Three Times a Lady — The Commodores
18. I Will Always Love You — Whitney Houston
19. Me and Mrs Jones — Billy Paul
20. Diamonds and Pearls — Prince

This is just SOME of my favorites. What are yours?

Day 22: Quotes

I love quotes. I have stacks and stacks of sticky notes with random quotes in random places around me. I watched a clip about success by the founder of The ET Story, Eric Thomas.

Here are three that I found very motivational:

When you want to succeed as much as you want to breathe, then you’ll be successful.

If you’re going to be successful, you’ve gotta be willing to give up sleep.

Don’t cry to give up, cry to keep going.

Day 21: Sporadic moments

I just had, and am still having a crazy night. My friend randomly called me to accompany him to the Mall of Georgia. Yea. If you know where that is, it’s far period. So after some shopping, we went to watch Takers, illegally. Judge me if you want!!! I know you’ve done it once in your life. If you haven’t, do it. The government owes us that much.

Anyway, to make a long story short, we were inspired by the movie Takers and made a swift getaway. It was totally fun. Now to keep my night going. :)

Day 20: Somewhere over the rainbow

This morning as I was driving to work, I noticed a faint glimpse of a rainbow. Now we all know rainbows come as frequently as a blue moon. This was the first time I’ve seen one after it has NOT rained. How rare is that?

However infrequent rainbows may be, they are always something to marvel at when seen. It’s like God giving me a little morning candy :) Posted with WordPress for BlackBerry.

Day 19: Thankful

Almost didn’t blog today. It’s been a long one. I’ve been moving into my new apartment all day. I can only be thankful that I have great friends that helped me when they really didn’t have to. Not only friends but my immediate family. Especially my mom. It feels good to be surrounded by people who care.
