Still alive!

I have been in hiding the last few days playing with my favourite little dude:)  so, pardon my lack of posts and my lack of desire to write.

I still don't feel overly motivated to pour over every detail from the last few days since who really cares, right? Lol

Today I will not post about cleaning or shopping or even about yummy suppers I've been making, but instead about the truths of life ( or mine at least ). 

These are 5 main truths I can think of in my almost 27 years--and will only keep adding to the list as the years go on!

The number one truth of life is this: my little family I made takes my breath away. Every moment of everyday I am thinking about them and my heart is exploding with love. I had no idea before I had a baby. I thought i did--but, wow...this love...just wow. There is no better way to explain it other than to say it was like I wasn't living before; I was going through the motions and waiting for life to start. Becoming a mom has completed my life, this is a truth. It can be wearing, tiring, annoying, nerve wracking and scary, but it is a wondrous thing and to say anything less would be a lie! ...Being a wife makes me the happiest person, and being a daughter, sister, niece, cousin, in-law makes my life full and priceless. Cherish your family, big or small--blood is thicker than water!!

The number two truth is this : money does not buy happiness--for anyone-- and I know it sounds cliche, but it is true. The sooner you are happy with YOU, even if you have nothing, the sooner you can be happy with someone else, even if you have nothing. Having a base of nothing but happiness and love with no expectations of riches, the more likely you will be to get it. It's the law of attraction :)

The number three truth is that behind the beauty of life there is tragedy, loss and pain. I know I tricked everyone with two really happy truths, but the scariest part of life is the unexpected. By any grace of God, we will die in order of age (of old age), surrounded by loved ones. However, this is not always the case. People that are too young to be taken from us are ripped away through a series of tragic events--accidents, illness, etc. this is unfortunately how the world works. We can't control it and we can't change it. Sometimes it is hard to smile and carry on when the question "what is the point of it all" is weighing heavy on you heart and mind. The only cure is to love harder and make sure the people around you know how "hard" they are loved!

Truth number four is that people lie. People as a whole are innately nice, but somewhere along the line, something clicks with them and they can't keep their mouths clear of these falsities. It is hard to find good trustworthy people in this world, I myself know very few, but consider myself to be lucky to even have a handful I can tell everything too. These people are usually drama seekers and exaggerators. Thinking that without these lies, no one will like them. We all know them and its easy to get sucked into trusting them time and time again, but don't! Stick with family, as stated above, because their love and friendship is pure.

Truth five is life is beautiful (aw, shucks). Travel the world when you can, laugh when you get caught in the rain, cry at sad movies, hold hands, go on dates, eat the food you want sometimes without counting calories and sleep in when you can! Life is short, people suck, so spend it with the ones you love, and don't take anything for granted or get a sense of self entitlement. 

I know, I am feeling mushy today--I saw something sad on TV and it just rubbed me the right way and made me write this. Obviously there are more truths, but I have a beautiful napping baby and a delicious supper cooking, with my wonderful husband on his way home :) 

I won't be writing until next week, as tomorrow we are spending the day at the cottage, Saturday is our monthly date day, followed by popping in at one of my best friends bday dinners and Sunday being a family day for Ty and I :) have a good one! Enjoy your weekend with the people that matter most!!
