Dear Hate.....

Dear Hate,

Why do you exists? Why do you continue to destroy lives, hearts and minds? First there was Matthew, then there was Rodney, Trayvon, Freddie , Charleston shooting victims and now Sandy. All these were living, breathing people that someone decided to beat until they were hospitalized or until death all because of you. Why are you so important to some people? What makes someones skin color, gender or sexual orientation so important to others that they are will to harm for it? Now because of you their families have to live without them, Without their smiles. Their laughter. Their hugs. All because of you. Why hate someone if they are not bothering you? If you are not sleeping with them or interacting with them why do you care?

Hate I hate you. I was taught to never use you as a child, but I think it is fitting here. Hate I want you to know that all lives matter no matter what they are doing. Even if you think that they are a good or bad person, they are important to someone, even if they are not important to you. Even if you think that their skin color is wrong, their life still matters. Even if you think what they are doing is wrong, judge yourself first and still know that their life matters. How about this hate, get your life and leave other lives alone.

Hate I want you think about how your family and friends would feel if you were gone. Would they be sad like Matthew, Rodney, Trayvon, Freddie, Charleston shooting victims and Sandy's families and friends are? I think so. Hate, I want you to think about your actions, prior to using your words or your physical force. I know you have been around for along time, but it seems like you have been poking your ugly head around alot more lately. Don't you need a vacation? Think about it.

As I end this letter to you Hate, I want you know what even though you keep coming around, there will always be people in this world who will be fighting and praying against you to make this world a better place. I personally believe that there are more of us than there are friends of yours, so watch out.

Sincerely,
Me

Fill in the Blank Friday--Sleep

1.   The last thing I do before going to sleep is         turn on the TV and set the sleep timer . 2.   When I can't sleep I      watch TV until I fall back to sleep   . 3.   The first thing I do when I wake up is     go to the bathroom . 4.   When I'm tired I      can fall asleep anywhere. I have fallen asleep in a folding chair, on a couch , outside, sitting up.....let's say when I am tired, I am tired . 5.   My dream bedroom would be       have lots of white linens and would feel very breezy. It would be filled with antiques and have a large sitting area. It would be shabby chic . 6.   If I could wake up anywhere tomorrow morning it would be        on a porch on a beach house listening to the waves roll in and the feeling the sun rise on my face . 7.   The longest sleep I've ever had was    I a...

On the Road Again.....

It was between Chicago and the state of Pennsylvania. Well....the state of Pennsylvania won out for our little trip for our first anniversary. It is a shorter drive than going Chicago, especially since we do not want to spend most of our mini-vacation in the car. I have a co-worker that lived in Pennsylvania and she gave me some great places for us to visit like, the Phipps Conservatory, the incline at Mt. Washington and the Pittsburgh Zoo ( I think that the hubby would like the aquarium). It is hard to believe that it has been almost a year since our wedding, but I can not wait for our time away. Even though I want to see somethings while we are there, I really just want to relax. If  you know any great places to go or see in the state of  Pennsylvania let me know. We are looking at taking some three day weekend trips in the summer and maybe a week long trip to the beach in the fall.  Do you have any plans for trips anytime soon or this summer? Share we might want to g...
