Kitty Kitty

  One fine day my friend borrowed my car. When she returned the window was down...permanently. I wasn't so bothered thinking oh it's fine its just stuck. it happens all the time. So I went outside and tried to roll it up, thus finding it really was stuck. The window being stuck still didn't entirely bother me. I mean, I live in the valley, it's not like it's gonna rain or anything. The next tuesday morning I was driving home, lo and behold, rain began to pour down into my window. I thought it was very ironic.

  So it'd been about a week or so that my window was stuck down. I had been parking in the garage so that nothing could get in my window. One night as I drove up to my house, my brother in-law was home. parked in the way. So I figured...no one would even want to still my car. No big deal I'll park outside. I grabbed all my valuables and went inside and to bed with out another thought of my car. The next morning I wasn't surprised as I came outside to my car still being there. I jumped in my car just as any other day. Humming and happy, ready for work. The windshield was foggy so I turned on my windshield wipers. It was then that I heard something shuffle in the back of my car. My heart dropped and I became super frightened! Of course my mind jumped to the worst scenario, I was positive there was a man hiding in the back just waiting to attack. I slowly cranked my head around to the back of my car when, POP! A bit, hideous, black stray cat popped up. I screeched!

    It's huge eyes as freaked out at me as I was at it. We sat with our eyes locked on each other for at least 20 seconds. The scroungy cat then leaped from the back of my car to the front seat right into my lap. Not knowing what to do, I freaked out like a little girl getting a nasty sock waved in her face, waving my hands as weird noises of disgust escaped my mouth. I somehow found my way out of my car and the cat bolted from me in a quick vanish.

  I got back in my car...then the embarrassment crept in. It was one of those moments when you know you're alone but you still have to look around to make sure no one saw. I drove to work laughing at myself, thinking this song. hahaha. Man I really need to get that window fixed.

Unsent..unsaid

  I don't know about you but there is a lot of things I have left Unsaid in my past. Wether it be relationships or just guys I like or that liked me. Sometimes it's not even those types of relationships. So today sometime before I go to bed I will write a letter. A letter that will remain unsent. Unsaid. Maybe to eventually be read or posted. Or not. So much that should've been said but now it is too late.

Dearest... ,
I'm sorry I never told you.

An Anchor

I wanted to wait to post about this song because it makes me very emotional, and I can't even begin to explain why. I couldn't even understand in words why until...

This beautiful morning I was driving home from the Mesa Arizona LDS Temple. The sky grey and unfolding in front of me. Rain was poring in my open window. The road blackening as the water tumbled out of the sky and graced the road with it's presence. The sun rising creating a dim dusky light unvieling the beautiful brown of the dirt and green of the sparce trees. Rain like paint, falling out of the sky splashing the world with new radiant color. The smell drowning my nose with it's beautiful desert rain aroma. And this song, THIS SONG, flooding my ears. And it hit me,WHY? It doesn't matter.

Sometimes in life I ask why too often. Why am I so hyper, why am I so loud. Why do I feel sad, happy, angry, joyful? Why have I been so blessed. Why am I going through this. Why did they get cancer. Why not me? Why do I love to dance and sing? Why are girls/guys so hard to understand. Why does this song get me how it does?

well, IT DOESN'T MATTER! The beauty of life is sometime the indescribableness. It is what it is, why ask why. Life isn't always an algorithm. I want to begin today TAKING IT FOR WHAT IT IS. Life is gorgeous. Life is challenging. Life is a blast. Life is sad. Life is hilarious. Life is frustrating. Life is inspiring. Life is a dance. Life is a test. Life is what Life is. So find you some anchors and drop them in the bay. So you can just stop sailing and take life for what it is for even a moment.
Why? you may think...HEY the why doesn't always matter.
