A holiday.

Today the weather here is crummy and its the same way I'm feeling. So when I get down like this I like to think back to times when I was having fun and the weather was better. I found this post from my myspace which I wrote on September 23, 2007. I had just gotten back from the beach with Phil and was getting ready for my first day of university at Western. I remember how I didn't want that day to end because I was not looking forward to a new school where I didn't know anyone. Since last year I had kinda forgotten that we took that trip, but we took that same trip this year on the same day: ) So it became a kind of unknown tradition I guess: ) But anyways here is the post from last year. I think it was cute.
The beach: a place to go to get away from the rest of the world. a place to relax and explore. a place to forget about everything but the here and now. it may just be a day getaway, but it still counts as a holiday. 

That is my definition of the beach. I love going to the beach, its so calming to just take your camera and remove your shoes and just explore. Yesterday Phil and I went to pacific city for the day. we were celebrating our last day of freedom, last day of summer before school starts today. It was so much fun to explore and just enjoy eachothers company.
We went to lunch, took pictures on the beach while exploring and even walked in the water. It was a day to just "be" and not to overthink too much. It was a day that I will keep alive in my memories for many days to come and revisit everytime I'm dreading to do homework or go to class. For yesterday it was a holiday, but today it is a memory in my heart: )

I wish I was there, but since I'm not here is a picture to remember the wonderful time I had last time I was there with Phil, day before classes begin 2008: )

Food for thought

" We judge ourselves on our intentions, but we judge others by their actions."  ~Jesse Merz
This really got me thinking about myself and if I really do that. I realized that I did. It's hard sometimes because I can justify what I do or say by how I thought it sounded just like the quote. But what if I gave others that same treatment that I gave myself? I probably wouldn't be so upset all the time about how people act. Maybe if I took a few minutes to evaluate the situation and say to myself..I wonder what they meant by that instead of wow that sounded so rude I know they were trying to hurt me by that. Then I think life would be a lot easier. 
In conclusion I am going to try to better myself and think more. I encourage any one else to do this as well, I think it could really make the holiday season be a lot happier.

A Quote from Berneice

My friend Berneice who lives at a care home always sings a song with this line in it. I wish I knew what the songs name was, but I don't. This little quote her favorite part of the song and she always repeats it to me at the end. I've been thinking about it a lot lately so I wanted to write it down.

"Today is mine, tomorrow may not come."
