Life revisited...

Life, left side 
The other day, I posted this post... including a challenge for you to create a layout with a quote, poem or saying that you like...  From that challenge, this is the layout spread that I have finished up...   Quote by Jeff Taylor, digital layout spread made with Serif Digital Scrapbook Artist 2 software and page kits.  


Life isn't about taking score...who did this, or who didn't do that...  It's not about he said this or she said that's...and it's really not about who was there and who wasn't...  It isn't about how rude you can be to another person, or who is "different" than you are...  And it certainly isn't about who can lie the best about things that shouldn't be lied about.   



What life IS about...spending time with those you care about, being happy - even if things have went wrong in your life.  It's about standing up for something EVEN IF YOU ARE STANDING ALONE... It's about laughing in the rain and laughing at yourself...it's about saying I AM SO SORRY when you really are...and it's about becoming a better person, even if OTHERS CAN'T SEE IT THEMSELVES.   It's about finding GOD and leaving the partying alone...it's about spending time doing good things with your life, and not bad things...  
Life, right side


I won't look at anyone and tell them I am perfect, or haven't made mistakes in life...  I have... especially about "issues" that are better left alone and in the past.  Can we go back and change them...NO, but we can learn from them and move on.  The saddest part in "things" is having to KEEP GOING BACK TO THE PAST WHEN ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS MOVE FORWARD.  You can't go back and change what you did 25 years ago...you can't go back and redo what was done...  All you can do is move forward and be happy....I choose to move forward from the suicide, the deaths, Hurricane Brandi...Miss H, and "people" who should have stood by us instead of acting like jerks...  I choose to look at things in a positive manor, and try to change in spite of all the talk, the BS...  Creating helps me to be ME...it helps to put a positive spin on things, and learn from something...instead of making it all be bad and about ME and what I need...   


Thank you for all the continued support - not only has my readership gone up, but my fan base on Twitter and Facebook has as well.  Life for me hasn't been easy...and I try to pay it forward to help those that just can't see it themselves HOW stressed they are.  I have shoved lots of people out of my life...won't take ANY bull crap from much of anyone...and will promptly tell it like it is if I need to...  Life is way too short to live it in anger...learn to enjoy things...or don't be surprised one day, if those you have kept out of your life, no longer wants you a part of theirs.  I gave up hope that my sister and I could get along, and now - we don't go too long without talking.  She has made me a better person, one that is full of love and acceptance, not hatred and anger.  I hope you enjoy this project...
