When I grow up...

I wanna be famous. Just kidding--Pussycat Dolls' song is stuck in my head. I've never been able to finish this thought with a specific dream or goal. Vague generalities I'm pretty good at. Perhaps I've always lacked focus due to my parents telling me that I could do and be anything I wanted. Or maybe the idea of committing to only one thing doesn't quite work for me. Not having a plan has served me well so far. I think I'll just promise myself that if I ever come up with one, I'll stop at nothing to make it reality.

Life is funny

Every time I think I have it all figured out, here comes another curve ball. And lately, even when I get hit right in the face, things have worked out much better than expected. Maybe it's the result of a positive attitude or paying it forward; maybe it's just dumb luck. Either way, I'm not going to question it. Sometimes the best thing that can happen is to get smacked in the face.
