Life is Good!

I was just sitting here propped up in my bed trying not to be too distraught about the headache that continues to linger. I am sitting here sucking down my first cup of coffee and eating my ever famous pb&syrup rollover thinking about how good life is. I had some inspiration...In an attempt to enjoy this beautiful morning while still being warm and cozy in my bed, I opened my blinds to find three squirrels eating nuts and playing in the tree. I don't know why it made me laugh, but I stood there for a while watching and even grabbed my camera. A scripture quickly came to mind while watching not the birds but the squirrels: Matthew 6:25-26
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air {squirrels in the tree}; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?
Don't you just love it when the Lord speaks and you know without a doubt it is Him?

If you know anything about me at all you know I can be "slightly" random at times...This is no exception! If you are family I'm sure you can connect the dots with squirrels and funny/unreal stories in my life. ha!

Funny/Unreal Moments in Life:

~Maternity Home stories: Having to be on guard until the cops showed up to watch a girl with HIV who had just downed a bottle of pain pills...all I was thinking was..."Dear God, please don't let her bite me!" ha! or
~Being cussed out while driving because she decides she no longer wants to go to her NA meeting but to her "baby-daddy" house.
~Sleeping on a hospital floor for 5 nights praying the little premature baby would make it through the night.
~Not to mention all the things I saw and other things I heard...I have a very HIGH shock factor these days!


~Dating stories: Like...he's nuttier than a two p squirrel! or asking inappropriate questions or being stalked at school where I had to turn off the lights during lunch and hide behind my plant so I wouldn't be bothered. :D

~School stories: (this will probably become a whole other post) from being poked in the butt with a pen, writing several kids up for sexual harassment, bathroom walls, one wedging himself underneath his desk screaming, being called the reading b*tch, asking me if I was going to read the book "Puss in Boots" but not in those exact words...and the list could go on and on. There will be many names that are ruled out when I finally have a children...names with such negative connotations.

~Adventure stories: being at the bottom of the Grand Canyon puking my guts up is certainly number one! ha! Spelunking in a dark cave, with water and having to lay on my stomach and shimmy through this tiny little hole called....the birth canal!...makes me breath hard just thinking about it. Then there is repelling off a cliff, white water rafting on the same river the Olympics were held, and doing the Sky Screamer not once but twice (I chalk that up to peer-pressure!)Oh and I almost forgot scuba-diving (another one that makes me breath hard) where I could've gotten my fingers bitten off by an eel!

I think about these from time to time and it cracks me up. I have lived such a wonderful and blessed life!! Full of opportunities that I would never have imagined.

Living Mi Vida Loca!! :)
