in these bodies..

we will live,
in these bodies we will die.
where you invest your love,
you invest your life.
tonight in my stress management class, 
we have a very deep lesson.
it was exactly what i needed.
we talked about mindfulness and values we have for ourselves.
about what's important in our lives.
mindfulness: the state of being attentive to 
and aware of what is taking place in the present.
life can get so incredibly crazy that we tend to 
not pay attention to some wonderful things that surround us.
i am so grateful to live in here.
as much as i absolutely hate winter..
i love the mountains too much. i would never leave.
i have a family who would do anything for each other.
we're all so different,
but get along so well.
i have a boyfriend who treats me so much better than i deserve.
he makes me happier than i've ever been.
my friends are the greatest in the world.
they'd drop anything if you needed them.
we've stuck together through thick and thin.
"finish each day and be done with it.
you have done what you could do;
some blunders and absurdities have crept in;
forget them as soon as you can.
tomorrow is a new day;
you shall being it serenely and with too high a spirit
to be encumbered with your old nonsense."
