Life never stops to take a breath…Day by day, hour by hour….time steals our lives and memories away. But if you take time to cherish the little things that make you happy, you can finish your journey with satisfaction that you took time to do the simple things in life that make it worthwhile , and created memories with the ones you love. These are a few of the things that I remind myself to do…tiny things that make me look at my life and say: “wow, what an incredible journey this is.”
♥ Blow bubbles when chewing bubble gum
♥ Lie under the stars
♥ Drive around with the windows rolled down and music so loud you can’t hear yourself sing

♥ Type a paper in single space, then when you’re done change it to double and see how much you’ve written
♥ Stay in sweats and a t-shirt all day loing…and skip the shower…hygiene is overrated. ;)
♥ Always tell people you love them
♥ Take a trip back to your childhood….color a picture with crayons

♥ Wear clothes more than once without washing them
♥ Don’t be afraid to cry yourself to sleep
♥ Have a movie marathon
♥ Surprise an old friend and stop by to see them when they’re not expecting it
♥ Skip the make-up one day…some days are a total waste of make-up anyways
♥ Stay up late having deep conversations about life
♥ Give hugs
♥ Procrastinate doing the dishes or cleaning the house…the mess can wait…spend time with friends or family instead.
Don't let life slip by...Live your life so that when you get to heaven, you can tell God: "I have nothing left to give...I gave all I had to make this the best life I could make it."
