When cold is really not that cold

When it snowed on Saturday i thought to myself wow this sucks. As i am not a big fan of snow i didn't like it one bit. Its cold, wet, and terribly messy......especially if there is a ton, like the 23 odd inches we got in our area. so on Sunday when the opportunity to go sledding arose i cringed at the idea. The thought of being cold wet and uncomfortable was like a needle in my backside. but i thought hey what better do you have to do???? So i went thinking i was only going to watch. At least that would be entertaining. So off we went to a spot neat grant avenue. When i got there there was groves of people. going up and down the hill at alarming rate. i still thought no im just goin to watch. My friends decided to make a private spot for us. As soon as i saw the first run down the hill i knew i wanted to try. So i did. the speed and pure rush of sledding is enough to make anyone amped up. And after seeing all of my friends having fun sledding, a couple sharing a snow kiss, me making snow angles and tearing up the snow on our self made sled i realized that it wasnt so cold anymore. Its never cold wet and boring when u have the love and warm hearts of your friends. i was saddened to leave but i will remember that time as a fun adventure. You may say no more snow..........but im dreaming of a white christmas......Happy holidays to all.

my first entry

This blog is not for me to air out my problems because i cant solve them in due time by myself or to expose my personal life so as to feel popular or loved. No talking about what i had for lunch or what some rude person said to me on the way to work. This is a genuine part of me, like an extension. What i think of things and interpret them as. and today its about life.

What is LIFE to me? What is the meaning of LIFE? Some people think Life is just so we can be born and make more of ourselves. Well LIFE to me is an experience not to be wasted. for those of you who say F.M.L. remember that there is someone who had one and wouldn't mind having yours. As a people we are engrossed in life. But often do not realize it. A good example? how nosy are you in other peoples lives? LIFE is who you are. it is what you did or have done yesterday today or tomorow. Its the really good pizza you had that u just loved. or its the way your other half makes you smile. The fact that one day you may have a family get married. Doing what ever u want in LIFE. And guess what? You are in control of this grand experience we call LIFE. Even tho its not the same for everyone that is my definition of LIFE. So whatever you choose to do on your path live it to the fullest because u dont want to waste it. and you only get one.
