In a word.. AMAZING!

I am happy to report it has been a good weekend!  Friday night I hung out with G-Rama, and watched the Cubs.  It was not their best game, but I got to see a hottie on the mound so... It was great!  Saturday, I spent time relaxing, and watched the Cubs get a W.  Then it happened... I got the best news I could have asked for!  My boy made the play off roster!!  WOO HOO!! All the haters out there feel free to go to the back of the line.. your negativity will NOT be accepted!  Write it down; this is a name you all need to get used to:  SAMARDZIJA.  Mark it down folks, mark it down!  I am so happy for him I don't even know where to begin.  I know you all think I am insane, I just don't care!  He is amazing, from double A to the post season in one summer is AMAZING!  I don't care who you are or how much you want to complain it is still amazing!  He deserves a hug!  I am really good at giving them too!  Again, I did not say anything about letting go!  :-)    And just to let everyone know, samardzija-mania will NOT be ending anytime soon!  if you have a problem with this please feel free to change the channel.  

I said it before, and I'll say it one more time; this is my space to say what I want... I am not going to apologize for doing just that!  Tonight I was reminded how fun the simplest things can be.  Younger brothers are amazing!!!  Who knew buying fruit could be so hilarious!  Our parents failed to see the amusement, but he & I had a good time!  It is just nice to stop, and take in the beauty around you.  SO often we get so caught up in getting more, being more, and doing more.  All of those things are great, but it is no excuse not to realize how beautiful the sunset is, or the color of your special some one's eyes.  We have to find balance; yin, and yang.  Striving for a better tomorrow can't replace the amazing parts of today!  

That is my challenge for all of us today, take a moment, or two (they're short!) and just enjoy the sights, and sounds around  you.  Take a second to soak it up, and give thanks for being a part of it.  The journey of life may be a bumpy one at times, but it is worth it!  Take the time today to be a part of it, rather than simply get through it.  You never know what you've been missing!

Sleep tight everyone!  <3
