525,600 minutes

Thought-provoking lyrics from a broadway show. I have been humming this for hours...

525,600 minutes,
525,000 moments
so dear
525,600 minutes
how do you measure, measure a year?
In daylights, in sunsets, in midnights, in cups of coffee.
In inches, in miles, in laughter, in strife.
In 525,600 minutes... how do you measure a year in the life?
How about love?
How about love?
How about love?
Measure in love.
Seasons of love.
525,600 minutes!
525,000 journeys to plan.
525,600 minutes
how can you measure the life of a woman or man?
In truths that she learned, or in times that he cried.
In bridges he burned, or the way that she died.
It’s time now to sing out, tho the story never ends
let's celebrate remember a year in the life of friends.
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Remember the love!
Measure in love.
Seasons of love!
Seasons of love.

5 Crazy things in my world.

1. My sweet, little baby brother is now driving.
2. I have exactly nine months until my life changes drastically.
3. I am actually enjoying getting up early.
4. My business has unlimited growth potential. Kick it into gear, Brit!
5. I (drumroll please) officially weigh less than I did in high school. That is substantial proof that miracles happen.

a smile and a song

I have found (in my uncomplicated 22 years), that often a song or a quote can keep me going for days. Isn't it awesome that people can be so different and still relate so closely to one another? Today I reference a song that is probably overplayed on the radio, but owns powerful lyrics. This is me today. "I smile when I think about the way You've turned my life around. I smile when I think about the happiness in You I've found. I'm so amazed at what Your love has done. When I think the best is yet to come, I smile."

A heart...once broken, twice as strong with the mending.

I have always wondered what this quote means.
Maybe this is it....
Once it's broken , the heart knows that life throws hard blows and it is stupid to be idealistic....So it creates a strength for itself that can only come from the inside? A doubly strong heart can only be the result of a determined mental state. A resolve to heal in the face of hurt. An inner fortitude that says, "Hmm, well I guess I just found out that life can be tough and stupid. I can be puerile and pout, or I can make a change. I still have lots of days left and I refuse to let one heartbreak rule me. "

We must eliminate the negative tendancies that rule that major part of our lives.
Success is mental.

By all means, 2007, blow me away.

=) Isn't 7 God's perfect number? So couldn't this be an ultra-amazing year? Like BLOW- YOU- OUT- OF- THE- WATER- INCREDIBLE? Yeah, I am thinking it could be. haha...Well, Even if the number has nothing to do with it, I am still pumped. Hold on to your hats kids..... God is going to do great things this year. I just know it.
