L is For...

Live

Laugh

Love



I was going to do a funny post about LDD in children (Leather Deficit Disorder, not to be confused with ADD a serious medical condition we know personally) but decided to make it short and sweet.



Live

Live like you don't have tomorrow. Live like you didn't have yesterday. Live like there is only the now. Don't be afraid to try something new and exciting. Hell, try something new and boring. We are only here once (that I know of) and every second that ticks by is a second you can't get back. See ,there went one..... There's goes another. Live those seconds to the fullest. Even the sad ones. Fill your being with the essence of life and soak up the miracle of it.



Laugh

Our house is full of laughter but it could always use more. We hold the secret of the universe inside ourselves and laughter is it's way of sneaking out. If you can't laugh then at least smile. Feel how it improves your mood instantly. Laugh until milk comes out your nose. You know you've done that. Or at least snorted like a rhino in mating season.



Love

Ah, love. How can you live and have laughter if you do not have love. Love yourself for who you are, even all your flaws. Love your kids and pets and spouses (in whatever order you want). Love them like they will never hurt you. Love them like they have never been loved before. Love them when they least deserve it because that's when they need it most.



Happy Writing

  5. I am familiar with most of that, but that last bit hit me - "Love them when they least deserve it..." I've found that tough to do, until now. Thanks!

  12. Your blog is absolutely beautiful. Reminds me of antiques and shops with ladies' accessories and dolls and jewelry and retro clothing. Anyway I also kind of liked your Leather Deficiency Idea. Very cute. Love the humor. I would say my M blog for today is the opposite of yours. YOurs is the one that I would like to morph into but probably never will.....

  13. Thanks for the timely advice.

    I'm starting up a 'Critiquing Crusaders' program, where participants in the Second Crusade can find other writers to exchange critiques with or form critiquing circles. If you're interested, come by The Kelworth Files to check it out!
