...Just be happy.

A loser?

Losers let things happen; they’re merely creatures of circumstances.

Winners make things happen; they’re creators of circumstances.—David Dean

Back home

I spent a week in Monterrey, the hot, huge city where some of my rocking friends live. The type of friends that you played with mud as a kid. The great type. You don't see them often. Sometimes you loose touch. But when you see them again, it's all fun.
We traveled back to Morelia in the night, made an effort to sleep as much as possible. The funny thing was the man sitting on the next row of seats, he snored in such unique way.
And then the sun rose right over the lake, it couldn't have been a better place ;)
Please pretend I have a BUNCH of pictures. I forgot the camera -shame on me. And the cameras they had went through tough times, like drowning or plain ol rebellion to work.
Try picturing:
A shot taken of my happy mother with Josiah and Linda.
Dear Steph cooking dinner.
Danny sleeping, what he loves doing. Hah!
Nathy, Steph and I smashing ourselves in a big hug.
The stairs of their house, very narrow, they just ask me for a picture. A clumsy person is apt to hurt their self with the rough walls on both sides. Ok, me in the stairs, since I'm the one who thinks they're so special.
A group shot, all sitting an waiting for our movie to start. Steph looking very pretty, Danny with a cool face, still thinking about the girl that just passed, Nathy being cute, me being me and Nick tall and with a smile (he better smile).
Danny playing the base.
Steph and I in the park, sitting in the shade, with a bag of gross chips which we finished anyway.
Steph caught thinking about someone...
A very strange picture of Nick and I dancing in the street.
Auntie Ruth, mom and Linda at a restaurant, quick shot before I had to run with the others.
A picture of the sky, sun rays dancing now -instead of shooting down at us -with the great mountains in view.

...A week passed by too fast.

If my eyes could

I've repeated this quite some times, in different conversations. But I'll say it again.
I just wish my eyes could take pictures. So that what my eyes get to see, is captured to show others, and to remind myself.
It's not that I have such an amazing life, with loads of different far-out experiences. But to have all those flashbacks handy would be a proof that the world -though a horrid mess- still has beauty and people who know how to live, love and give.
We can fail to realize all the things that make life truly beautiful. These things cannot be captured in pictures really, but people must see to believe. They'd be memories of things felt, things lived, the honey that comes from the crushing, the rainbow that comes from the rain, the smile that lights the day.
Our eyes cannot take pictures in the way I'm referring to (big grin -you already knew that), but if we'd just stop and look closely we could see that the things that really matter are simple, the things to make us happy are there and that the beauty of life lies within. Once you find it, you'll see it all around.

....In the "if " scenario, there would also be lots of pictures to laugh over -laugh our heads off!

kids these days

Alex asked me yesterday: "When was the last time you were small?"

....
Now, that's great food for thought.
