Better late than never

I can't believe how long it has been since I bothered writing something on here! In fact, it's been a while since I've written anything at all. Somedays, when I sit down and try to write a poem or song and nothing comes, I worry I've lost my gift. I'm not sure if I will ever be the writer I once was, but I still believe I have the potential to be great, just like everyone else :)
Perseverance is such a beautiful thing these days. With the world the way it is, everyone wants something, and its hard to get it. Yet, those who keep their eye on their goal, and keep trying, through prayer and hard work, are the ones who will be the most successful. To think that you can accomplish anything by sitting around and whining and wishing is a foolish foolish thing. I only wish more people were able to realize that. I hate when I hear people fussing about how life is, yet they do absolutely nothing to change it. How disgusting. If you have problems, fix them. As Jason Mraz once said
"If its a broken part replace it
If its a broken arm then brace it
If its a broken heart then face it"
Wise wise words.

I've never liked children. I have a lot of nieces, and sisters, and I love them all dearly, but I've never really liked other people's children. At work, I am always nice and sweet to the little kids, but something about them just makes me cringe inside. However, this weekend, I got the liberty of caring for my newborn baby niece. Her name is Grace. She is one of the most darling babies I've ever met, which I know, is said about every single baby.
When I held her, and fed her, then she fell asleep snuggled against my shoulder I couldn't help but think, maybe kids aren't all so bad. I think this can be applied to nearly everything in life. All it takes is that one little moment to make you wake up and realize, hey, maybe things aren't so bad. There's a little beauty in everything in life. Whether it be a small child, or a pleasant rainstorm.
I love life, and I am learning to love it more everyday.
