I love great days :)

Today was one one those days where absolutely nothing went wrong! Yes those days are pretty rare but they do sneak up every once in a blue moon. As I briefly mentioned in my last blog I am in California staying with my friends Tracy and Kinzi. We went kayaking today! It was such a blast, and to top it off we got to kayak right next to two sea otters! They were the most adorable things I had ever seen. For those of you that don't know me I am an animal FREAKKKKK! If I could I would adopt every single stray out there, however reality tends to get in the way there. Anyways being able to be that close to something as beautiful as two sea otters simply enjoying their day out in the open ocean completely made mine!
I also got to visit some family I hadn't seen in a while. My Aunt Lori and Aunt Gabi who have been there for me since day one and have continued to be a solid support system throughout my entire life, and my baby cousin named Cruz. As Cruz reminded me and my friends several times today he is four and three quarters, almost five. He is getting so big! I feel like he grows a foot every time I see him. I miss them all so much and wish I could be around them more.
It's funny how we don't always realize how important something is to us until its not around anymore. Of course, the same thing could be said for the opposite statement. We don't always realize how lousy something was until something better comes along. Then again, everything that happens to us in life is somewhat of a game. At any moment you can get dealt a great hand or a rather crappy hand. People will come into your life who will always love you unconditionally and will be there for you no matter what for the rest of your life, and then some people will be there for you one second and then before you know it be gone. Of course, theres always that third type of person...the one that is so unhappy with themselves that they are making your life miserable, sometimes even unintentionally. Either way you look at it, you can't stop living your life...because once you do that that third kind of person wins. By living your life, and taking chances not only are you rewarding yourself but those that are there for you and that are rooting for you to succeed at all you do. Giving up isn't something you will look back on and tell stories about to your grandchildren. However those risks you took, whether you succeed or fail, will be the building blocks for the memories we can all look back on one day and the guidance we can share with those people that we are rooting for as well. Well I'm all out of thoughts tonight so I'm going to go enjoy my last night in Cali :)....Bye!
