This is the song thats been stuck in my head all day. Its beautiful, and reminds me of my grandmom, who is battling with cancer and arthritus and diabetes and who knows what else. She lives her life from hospital to work to hospital, but still cares about her family enough to visit every chance. I never want her to leave, but no one lives forever. However, you can live every moment of your life like its your last. Thats what this song is about. Live every moment of your life like you were dying.

You never know which breath could be your last.

Humans are known for being greedy and spiteful, chewing up the worlds natural resources and spewing them out into landfills that could someday fill up our world. I dont know about you, but this isnt how I want our future generations to remember us. When I looked up beauty on Google Images, all that came up were pictures of women wearing makeup, page after page. Is this really what this world has come to?I thought.Then on the seventh page, I saw the picture that you see below. Instead of the generation that killed the beauty in the world, lets be the generation that realized just how much beauty was out there. Lets be the generation that finally realized what beauty is.

Lets be the generation that re-defines human.

So I couldnt post my song on this blog, but if you want to hear it, then go tohttp://haleymusic.blogspot.com/2012/05/blog-post.html! More songs to come :) Please comment on the blog, or on here! Feel free to share; Id love your feedback! Thanks!

Why do we have Thursdays?

My week would be great if it just went from Wednesday to Friday. Wednesday has always been a good day for me, I just like that day. And Fridays are especially good, because its the day you can relax and know that you just got through another week. Then theres Thursdays...

Theyre right in the middle of it all! You wake up and then realize you still have to get through another day! Its so tantalizingly close, but theres still another day to get through. And then you have to get through Friday to get to the weekends. Thursdays are not my favorite day.

Then again, today I was thinking very deeply (when I was supposed to bestudying, of course) and realized something. Why cant I just enjoy Thursdays? You never know when one might be your last. We always want more and more and more...we want to speed through life. Its always lets get this over with, when we should be enjoying the ride! If westartto find joy in all the little things in life, then we never have to think ugh, I wish this day would end! Even when it seems like your world is crashing down, you have to getback up. Theres always something good to see in a situation. So try to see the good in life.

Even on a Thursday.

Today I made a power point presentation on Cameroon. I think its pretty good :) I loved learning more about this fascinating new country that Id never heard of. It really is fun to learn about different people cultures- I think Ill be doing more of that soon.

So HELLO TIG!!!!!!!

And for once, falling is a good thing :)

The way that one person can smile and make the person standing next to them grin too

Knowing that we have so many opportunities to change our lives for the better

Being able to share our feelings with everyone else- one way is here on TIG :)

The way that music can connect us, no matter how different we are from one another

Having friends that care about me, and being able to care about them too

HAPPINESS!

:D

P.S. Be happy!

She replied by telling me that she never changed, this is who shes always been and I didnt need to give her any pity. Youre still young- why are you giving me all this stupid stuff about the world? This is who Ive always been! she snapped.

Maybe you dont know me as well as I thought you did either. Its your choice, honestly, but that stupid stuff about the world is something that I care about. I replied.

Why?

Ill just say that Im not your average girl. I stated.

When I looked back on our conversation I realized that what I was saying was true. Why do we try to change who we are? My new years resolution back in January was to stay 100% Haley. To be true to myself. I have to go back to the foundation on which I lived- honesty, love, friendship, knowledge, patience, effort, inspiration and virtues I have to live by now, too.

So Im staying who I am, Im being absolutely one hundred percent Haley. Im going to love the world I live in, and the life I live because I only get one shot at it. Im going to make a difference because looking around there are too many people, even some of them are my friends, that will just stand back and watch instead of getting up anddoingsomething.

So get out and do something about your life. Stay true to who you really are ;)

Ive been thinking about why things happen to us. Sometimes we hit the jackpot, and other times we seem to fall off the edge of a cliff. For instance, this morning I just didnt want to get up. To make myself get up and go on with the rest of my day seemed impossible. But then I remembered all the good things that could happen today. I remember all the good times Ive had in the past. I think about all the good times Im going to have in the future- then realize that if I dont get up, none of those things will happen. So I plaster a smile on my face and get on with my day. Then, as always, I find that I cant get that smile off my face. :)

Just felt the need to tell you guys that.

Oh, I was looking for a song to sing,

Searched for a leader, but the leader was me,

We were looking for a world to change,

We can be heroes, just go on and say

If youre out there,

Sing along with me if youre out there

Im dying to believe that youre out there,

Stand up and sing it now

If youre out there

Tomorrows starting now,

My new favorite song. Why is it that all the songs from a few years ago are the ones that are the best? We have almost no good music today. I love this song.

So if you havent commited to anything yet, I think you should! :D

LETS SAVE THE EARTH!!!

I know, I know, I post about love all the time, but its just so needed in the world! I mean, people tell each other I love you all the time, but do they really mean it?

So what is love? Love is seeing a baby laugh for the first time. Love is getting up early to watch the golden sun rise and stain a purple sky with colors, inspiring you to get out there and do something. Love is donating toys to the poor and seeing th ejoy on little ones faces when they open up their gifts. When we can openly love someone for all their faults, we love. When we acknowledge the fact that we as people arent perfect, and we make mistakes that we have to overcome, we love. When we passionately care about something or someone, we love.

Love love love love love.
