The Lonely Rose

There once was a yellow rose bush. And on that yellow rose bush sat a yellow rose. Not 4 yellow roses, or 3... Just one yellow rose. The yellow rose sat there every day and watched the people pass by, not caring to stop and notice that one lonely yellow rose. 

One day as the rose was watching the nasty looking rain clouds roll in, a group of young boys ran towards the one little rose. They picked the peddles off of the yellow rose, one by one, until there was nothing but one yellow rose peddle left. The boys threw the peddles about, thinking nothing of it, and snickered and ran away.

The yellow rose sat there and waited for time to come and wilt the yellow rose away. The day the rose thought it would be his last, the rose saw out of the corner of his eye, a little blossom. The rose assumed he was hallucinating, and ignored the blossom. But he couldn't help but feel the teeniest bit of hope, that at last he had found a friend.

The next day, the yellow rose saw that the blossom was now a rose. A beautiful young, vibrant red rose. The yellow rose reached for the red rose's peddle, with the last bit of strength that he had, and grasped one of the red rose's peddles. 

From that point on, people would stop and stare at the two roses that had joined peddles.  

9/11 and More...

9/11


I've always thought it as crucial to take a moment of remembrance for those who lost their lives that day. Whether they lost their lives from  the terrorism, or from fighting for other peoples lives. I'm torn apart though. I feel it wrong in a way, to dedicate only one day out of the year to remember everybody who lost their lives.. only one day of the year, for only one event. What about the people that risk their lives every day for our country? What about the people who live in a country where there is no freedom, and no decision making for themselves? Take a moment out of everyday just to think about that... remember how lucky we are to live in a country where we are allowed to make decisions on our own.

On a Happier Note...


I am listening to a great song right now, It's called 1,000 ships by Rachel Platten. You should look it up, it's up-beat and you just have to dance to it! I have bad news though, I've kind of given up on the Paleo. I just can't help myself.. cupcakes and cookies. But, I am working out everyday for 2 1/2 hours (ish) so it's ok. I should start eating healthy though, I plan on living long.. my ultimate goal is to live to be 100.

Sorry...


Yet again, I find my self apologizing for not being on in forever! It's due mostly to technical difficulties, and the time consuming abilities that this blog has! So I will try to get into the habit of blogging once again!!!

Until Then, Over n Out.....
