"Do people still say bang?"

Today's post will more than likely be short, but I feel like I have something to say . . .  I do a lot of my thinking in the car. Tonight was the perfect night to do that.  As I drove down from the northside, a small sliver of the moon attempted to light up the night skies.  It looked beautiful.  It's amazing to me how a small and simple item can be so magnificent!


Anyway, I watched Crazy, Stupid, Love again tonight.  I still feel the same way that I did about soul mates, but I think that we all have many different soul mates instead of just having one. We have many different people who can be the perfect fit for us.  But . . . Something new that I'm taking away from watching it a second time is that I very much feel like I will find my perfect match one day.  It's been a tough road for me for the past year or year and half, but I'm in a really good place in my life now.  I have faith.  I've been really impatient in these regards recently.  I've gone on a lot of dates over the past 6 months, and lets just say that many were not close to being anywhere near perfect. But I can laugh at these experiences and have certainly learned from them.  So I just need to step back and just let it be. The best thing that I can do is to be the best person that I can be and give back to the universe in any way possible. Good things will happen to me if I just wait.

This leads me to something that I truly believe in ... KARMA. All of our actions have consequences in one way or another. In simple words, you get what you give.  If you treat others with respect, you'll get respect back. If you're the best person that you know how to be, then you'll get that back into your life.   Also, I think that you get what you put out . . . If you're positive, then that's what you attract. You'll bring positivity back into your life. Honestly, who wouldn't want that?

Adele has been great to me.  I've been listening to her new album on repeat ever since it came out.  There are many songs that speak to me.  It's as if she was inside of my head when she wrote these lyrics (Sara Bareilles too!!).  Anyway, on my drive down while admiring the moon "Rolling in the Deep" came on my ipod.  Every time the song comes on, I turn the radio WAY WAY up and just belt out the song. Every time I do, I feel a little negativity leaving my mind.  As many times that I have heard and belted out the song, I always seem to notice something different about it.  This really stood out to me tonight . . .

"Throw your soul through every open door/ Count your blessings to find what you look for/ Turn my sorrow into treasured gold/ You pay me back in kind and reap just what you sow" Adele

This goes right along with the whole karma deal . . . I think she's taking about having faith and being thankful for what you have and who you are.  There are lessons to be learned, even in those situations that just SUCK! Eventually, those who wronged you will get theirs. So, just trust in the universe and yourself, and everything will work out.
