And Straight on 'Till Morning

When most people think "Debt" they think money. Student debt, credit card debt, mortgage debt, car loan debt, name a type of debt. Luckily I've never had any experience with those types of debt. I believe the best way to avoid something is to know what it looks like and stay away from it. I've been well educated about money debt, and have managed to avoid it so far. However, after recent life experiences I've discovered a new kind of debt; time debt.  Time debt happens when you say things like "I'll do that later," or "That can wait until tomorrow." Every time you do the amount of time it would have taken to do that task is added to your time debt balance because you will have to take that time to do the task later. Now I'm not saying that those statements are always bad. After all there are very few people who can just buy a house or car by writing out a check, and no one can do everything at once. The important thing is l...

I love my family SOO much! Today my mom sent me an email about the Imaginiff game that they played on the way home yesterday. According to my mom life is really just a series of song lyrics. I have to agree with her, and my friends must agree with me, because I sing all the time. I'll be with friends and someone will say something or something will happen and I will think of a line from a song and just burst into song. IT's great! These are the song lyrics that they came up with for our family (AKA my grandma, all my mom's siblings, my dad, my sister, my brother and I.) I think mine is perfect! ·        Grandma: “Won’t you tell me something true? I believe in you” from  One ·        T: “I believe in the kingdom come, when all the colors bleed into one” from  Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For ·        Bo: “And you give, and you give, and you give yourself away” from  With Or W...

My mom is the smartest person I know. She might not have the highest degree, or the most academic knowledge. She can't do calculus (but she could if she wanted to), she isn't an engineer. None the less, my mother is the smartest person I know. The thing I appreciate most about her is that she taught me how to think. She taught me to be open to everything and take everything with a grain of salt. She taught me to make my own decisions and have my own opinions even if others (herself included) disagree. My mother loves to learn about academic things, but she also loves to learn about life. The clearest manifestation of my mother's genius is in her writing. Today I received an  email from her with the subject "If I ever blogged I'd blog this...". I would like to share the contents of this e-mail with all of you. (My mom has now begun blogging again. To read it on her blog click here .) The ocean breathes, inhale and exhale. A sweet family trio asks me to take...
