What If?

As I woke up today, I had no plans so my first gut feeling was like, "Here goes one of those boring days where I do nothing but sit around the house and do nothing." I didn't get out of bed till about NOON, yeah that is bad..I KNOW. I got up and did my thing aka turned the tv on for a while, in hopes something brilliant would come to my mind. Around 1 pm, I went to step outside to check what the weather was like, HOLY wow it was nice outside. Today ended up being a pretty rad today, wasn't boring. It is January 6th today and it was a high of 55 degrees I believe. I'm not a big fan of the cold, so I was digging the weather. Shout out to my brother today, he probably won't be reading this, but it was his birthday, so happy birthday again brother. He is on a skiing trip this weekend with friends, so he will be hitting up the slopes getting face full of snow.

I love those days when you wake up, the weather is beautiful, and it brings a smile to your face. I love it when I'm back at college and it goes from being winter time to spring time and I can wear shorts to class. Love that feeling! I just realized this past semester, I was walking down the stairs to the lobby area in the dorms and JT looked at me and said "WOW what are you all dressed up for?" I was soooo confused because I had no clue what he was talking about. I was wearing a jacket, jeans, a shirt, a baseball cap, and shoes. He looked down at me and said, "Your actually wearing shoes" It was pretty funny, because I am one of those guys who wears addidas flip flops a lot, I mean why not their comfortable. Heck rain or snow, there always ready to GO.

My message today is simple, a friend was talking to me about the phrase tonight at a sporting event of WHAT IF, what if their are aliens, what if were not really alive, just the word "WHAT IF" can makes you think of anything and everything. Often in real life situations or experiences the phrase,"WHAT IF" can make us over analyze a situation, a person, a past relationship, your family...all of that. My message is pretty clear, thinking about what we did, could have done, what were doing now, shouldnt matter.

To sit here and say that I haven't done it, or that we all don't do it from time to time would be a lie. Basically, the past is the past, the future will be the future, maybe your a believer in that everything happens for a reason or maybe not. Best thing as individuals that we can do is focus on NOW, nothing we did or happened can change, but we sure as heck can live in the moment now. Yes, you hear it all the time, "live in the moment", don't worry about tomorrow..and quite frankly its true. If you focus and live your life now, and don't make excuses for why this happened or why you don't want to do something will only impact life down the road. All I am concerned about is tonight, and what ever happens tomorrow will happen. Hey, as my college likes to say, SHIP HAPPENS. Time to set sail, live your life, do what you want to do, say what you want to say, be with who you want to be with, pursue that dream or goal you've always had. Are you down? You willing to take that risks? Are you afraid? It's a good thing, because if you really want it, you'll do what it takes.

Every day is a new day....have a good night everyone...PEACE
