This is it! It's time to start living! I spent my twenties hiding myself and holding myself back. No more. I'm looking at this year, 2011, my thirtieth year, as the year that I really start living. This is the beginning of the me I want to be: healthy and happy!
I had always admired James MacArthur since seeing Swiss Family Robinson as a little girl, but this year I found his official fan web-site and I began to read interviews and look at pictures. The more I dug, the more I found out what an admirable man he was. Always smiling, it seemed that the man truly loved life. Yes, bad things happen, but he always looked for the positive. He is my role model. Look for happiness. Choose joy! Sadly he passed away a few months back, but through his life, and death, I have learned a great lesson. I have learned that I want to be happy, and that I can be, if I let myself. I have learned to be positive, and look for the positive in every situation. I have learned that there is more to life than what I've been living.
I was very sad when I heard that Mr. MacArthur had passed away; a person not very old and in seemingly good health, but then it occurred to me, he had lived life to the fullest, so maybe that was it, he was just full. He could hold no more, and so he left this world. That's when I decided. When I die, I want my obituary to say that it was because I ran out of room for happy memories!
Mahalo Danno!
"It's said a hundred different ways, in sadness and in joy, aloha means I love you, so I say aloha oe."
