Finally the words have come to my mouth...

When its time to start a new chapter in your life, the old chapter isn't sure if its finished. Whenever it's time to move on from anything or have a change of direction in life, I feel like something knocks on your door and makes you question your decision to make a change. It's like some sort of natural force wants to make sure you truly are ready to move on. I have found this happen to many people I know and myself. Some how nature has a way of challenging every decision we make in this life. I tend to always question big decisions I make, but somehow always stick to my initial intuition and move on. There have been so many chapters in my life, this monday it's a whole new one starting.
Tomorrow is last day I will be working as Volunteer Coordinator for a hospice company. I have lost many people that I have become very close to this year working in hospice. The one thing that's so beautiful about the job I am leaving behind, is that every single day I was helping someone in some way or another. Little or big, it made a big difference to those patients and families lives. I have become more compassionate and have much more respect for the elderly. I always find a way to help my patients live better lives. Last week I found my patients step father who she hasn't seen in 30 years.
It's scary to move on, but I know this is the right decision for me at this time. I will make a promise to myself to always help others and to make someones day a little better every single day. It's important to do and we must not ever forget that. Give a little whenever you can. Whether it be a smile, letting someone in on the highway, giving food to a homeless person or doing a favor for a friend. Life is too short to live any other way.

What a Weekend!

Texas is beautiful! I didn't really feel this way until I went to Concan, Texas this past weekend. I have always heard that there were some beautiful landscapes in Texas, but i have always had a hard time believing it.We went hiking, kayaking, swimming in the river, swimming in the lake and star gazing! It seriously was a fantastic trip! Concan is gorgeous. It's surrounded by trees, hills, a clear blue river, wildflowers and incredibly nice people. If you ever have a chance to take a trip to Concan, I completely recommend it. It's definitely a relaxing vacation where you can get your mind off things.
The whole trip I felt like a kid with no worries, but what was for dinner (I know, fatty), but I have always been that way. Speaking of dinner, I have a little funny story to tell. My partner and I went to this little steakhouse the first night we were there because we had no food until our friends arrived. We decided to order chopped sirloin. I thought chopped sirloin was something completely different than what it actually was. Chopped Sirloin is a burger patty. I am sure everyone knows that out there besides me and my partner. Well anyways, I ordered mine medium and my partner ordered his medium rare. When they got to the table, they were rock solid and seemed like they were cooked more than well-done. I was going to complain about the steak, but the sweet cook came out and said her husband always asked for medium rare, but she wasn't going to let anyone eat that bacteria found in beef. I don't even know why she asked us what we wanted, since she already planned to turn our burgers into rock solid burgers. I couldn't complain after she came to the table so concerned about our health. It turned out that they always dreamed about opening their own steakhouse and it finally happened for them a few weeks ago. Who am I to destroy their dreams and tell them their steaks were not so great after all. Nevertheless, she gave us this huge piece of strawberry, cool whip cake to take back to the room. It was absolutely delicious and made up for everything! I was so happy to hear that the steakhouse has always been a dream of theirs to own and it finally had happened for them. Everyone out there, don't forget to dream and have hope for things to actually happen! I know not everything is possible, but many things are with the correct effort.
I still haven't figured out this whole blog thing by the way. I guess you can see that by my lack of comments on the questions I have asked. If you are out there, I still need your help and I am not going to give up. I think I have just been having a little bit too much fun this weekend and have not worked on getting this thing out there enough. But its coming and pretty soon I will have some beautiful, absolutely adorable baby clothing for all of you out there! Question for you (invisible person), what's your favorite baby brand?
I hope everyone had a beautiful weekend.
