Mother, I love you, Mother I do

Watch the video above. I came across it while perusing the internet this morning and I do believe it is something worth watching because we don't see enough of it in our everyday lives.

I just wanted to take the post today and tell you all about my wonderful mother. She is the most kind-hearted person you will ever meet (Believe me, you will meet her sometime, whether you intend to or not). She has several great gifts, my favorite of which is her memory. Sometimes she can't remember what she did the day before, but she always remembers people. I dare you to have a 5-minute conversation with my mother. This is what will happen:

20 years from now, she will see you as she is driving/walking/meandering down the street. Not only will she recognize you by your face, but she will remember your name, everything you talked about in those 5 minutes from 20 years ago and the shirt you were wearing that day. Not to mention, she will probably have made connections with your family and ask you about how they are doing, too. After all of this, (Probably when she first sees you, too) she will give you a big hug. No matter who you are, where you're from or what kind of person you have become, she will love you and call you by name.

That is just one of the many talents my mother has. Thus today I would like to highlight her and her amazing love for everyone. I love you, Mom!

You make me dance like a fool, forget how to breath, shine like gold...

Dear Readers, Ok, so I can't fit the entire title into the title box. It's a good song, go look it up: "You make me smile." The title can apply to anyone, I've found. The rest of the lyrics would probably refer to a best friend or a significant other, but anyone can make you smile. They all have the own way of doing it. Some are just funny all the time and you can't help smiling when you're around that person. I know some who take care of people so well that you just smile when they're doing something for another. Others you can talk to about your problems and no matter what they say, it seems to make sense and you feel better...thus a smile. Ok, a smile doesn't always come in that case, but people usually smile after that. Anyone can have a blonde moment and make everyone smile because of it. I'm glad I've got friends who can do all of these: have blonde moments, take care of others or have an episode of hyperactivity that you can't he...

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American." With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly. Am I really proud to be an American? Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

That's What Makes the World Go 'Round!

Dear Reader, Bonus points go to whoever can name what movie today's song title comes from. Comment below to submit your answers. Today I wanted to give you an update on the great " ALS Ice Bucket Challenge " that is taking the internet by storm. What started as a small campaign to raise awareness and funds for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (Lou Gehrig's Disease) has grown and caused thousands of people to dump ice or ice water over their heads. That is how it works: one person nominates another to the challenge. That nominated person then has 24 hours to either donate $100 to the ALS foundation or have a bucket of ice dumped over their head. I would like to think most people are both accepting the ice bucket challenge and donating to charity. I won't judge, though. With all of this publicity that the ALS campaign has received, it made me think of other fads that people participated in during the 1920s and 1930s. Did you know that people regularly participated...
