| Life comes with no guarantees, no time outs, no second chances. You just have to live life to the fullest. Laugh as much as you can, spend all your money, tell someone what they mean to you, tell someone off, speak out, dance in the pouring rain, hold someone's hand, comfort a friend, pig out, fall asleep watching the sun comes up, stay up late, be a flirt, smile until your face hurts. Don't be afraid to take chances or fall in love...and most of all live in the moment cause when you look back someday knowing you have no regrets it's going to be what makes you smile. | | |

Cherish the people around you because you never know when they will be gone.

| What is Your Greatest Fear?
When asked the aforementioned question the answer from most people would be death. But ironic enough, death is inevitable. None of us can predict the day we die. Yet death is one of life’s few certainties. Are you afraid of death? When the day comes, will you be prepared for it? Is it death that we are really afraid of or is it the unknown that is the promoter of this fear?
As for me I don’t believe I fear death as much as I fear the unknown, the regrets, and the last moments. What exactly will I regret? This I don’t yet have the answer for. Perhaps I will regret the decisions that I would of or had, the things that I could of or had done, the words that I could of or had said, the people that I could of or had hurt. Whatever it is, death can come to us without us ever knowing. But having the moments to see all that we've done, all the regrets and mistakes that we've made flashing before our eyes, and having to live each and every one of those devastating times over again, now that’s the ultimate fear of mine, not death itself. | | |

"Some people are settling down, some people are settling and some people refuse to settle for anything less than butterflies." -Carrie
For some reason, this quote also sticks to me every time I hear it. So I got to thinking of how true it really is. I know people who, may I say, I never thought would settle down, but now they are in a loving committed relationship. After some hard work and effort and the refusal to give up on the relationship, those people are now happy. I guess sometimes hard work does pay off. I consider those the “lucky hopeless romantics.” But is compromising yourself really the correct way to seek happiness? And there are those, who believe their clock is ticking and that they should settle just for the sake of settling. They convince themselves that they’re not getting younger and hence need to just settle for what they have. They are constantly unhappy with the relationship. Fighting seems to be a daily routine while the happy times can be counted with the fingers on their hands. But yet, they are afraid, afraid to get out of the relationship, fearing that there will be no others. But is the fear of loneliness worth the price of unhappiness? And then there are those who refuse to settle for anything less than they desire. Are they the true hopeless romantic in search of their fairy tale prince/princess that probably doesn’t exist? Is the desire to find happiness worth the risk of forever loneliness?

| Turtle Coffee
A 77 years-old woman, Marjorie Morris, found the below dead baby turtle deep in her bag of freeze-dried Folgers coffee. After removing what looked like a block of condensed coffee, she shook off the grains and discovered a dead baby turtle about 2 inches in diameter. She isn’t planning to sue Procter & Gamble, the company that owns Folgers. She suggested that the turtle could have been a result of flooding in New Orleans where several Folgers planter are located. According to Morris, she will keep the turtle where she would show her grandchildren.
I’m not sure which is creepier, finding the dead turtle or wanting to show it to your young grandchildren.
