The story of Franklin and Mr. F

So this is what the fuss is about this whole "life" thing? I gotta say I hoped there would be more cake and moon-bounces. All and all though, it's pretty good. I'm still very much planning on moving back to North Texas ASAP. I miss my friends, my niece and nephews, the weather, the freedom and I ate way more cake there!

I've been thinking about fellas the possibles and whatnot; then I just think "meh." I've had a shocking number of guys I hardly knew appear and tell me all these great things about me...all of the aforementioned guys were in relationships. I do NOT play that game. I've been the one cheated on I will never even allow an appearance of shadiness so I maintain a distance from those guys. As for my own feelings I've felt the punch-in-the-stomach wow with one person in the past year. I think he's the bees-knees, especially since he knows I say things like "bees knees" and he still talks to me.

Why have I been thinking about fellas so much you ask? Well I'm a single gal that has been single for quite some time and now all of my best friends are in relationships. I feel like the last of the single people sometimes. It's a confusing and yet a totally honest feeling I've had lately; being genuinely happy for all my friends current happiness and on the other hand feeling (at times) completely left out. I want all of my friends to be blissfully happy, I just kinda wish I felt the same way but I know my time will come.

I've re-written my resume lately, in hopes that a bad resume was what was keeping from quality career-ish jobs. I'm sick of scam jobs and crappy retail jobs. I have so much experience and education I would totally hire me! That's enough of that rant. Well this has been a little random, just like me! And has nothing to do about my plants but Franklin and Mr. F are thriving.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."
--Martin Luther King, Jr

I am glad that no more people will suffer by the hands of Bin Laden but his death doesn't bring back any lives. I will not celebrate a death of a person, no matter how evil because I feel every life has value. Silly me, a non-christian thinking an often stated yet rarely practiced christian ideal is quite true: every life matters (or "we are children of God" as the christians often state). We are all interconnected, even the killers among us. Though the evil does need to be eliminated for the rest of us to live more peacefully, a death is never a time to celebrate to me. I opt to move on with my life and try to seek out more love and understanding in the world. Maybe I'm just a dreamer... 


"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another." 
--John 13: 34


That's a good way to live life, with love leading the way not hatred or fear. 

I'm done now, that is  just my two cents.
