throw it

i wish
that i had a money tree!

i can tell you right now that the world would be a better place if I dani had a freakin money tree!
there is not a whole lot to it except a lot more people would be a lot happier.
including myself!
yes, i know
money is not everything.
obviously i know that i am a mom at the age of 21 and my husband goes to school full time. i have little to no money and by all means i am very happy!
but....
i could be happier if i could give more people presents at Christmas.
or maybe throw money on the street for people to find that would really make me happy! especially if i could set up a camera and watch the look on peoples faces when they found a 100 dollar bill on the sidewalk with a label that say "to:you {yes you the person finding this on the sidewalk} from: me
that would be awesome!


so i say to you all.....


if you have an extra 10 bucks you should drop it on the floor!
while no one is looking but make sure you do it somewhere where it will count. don't go droppin benjamins in the aisles of Saks fifth ave. or anything i don't think your measly pocket change would pay for anything in that store! and the people in there would probably use it to floss there teeth.
do it somewhere you know it will help someone.....
how about the food bank drop ten bucks there or the soup kitchen.
you were only gonna go get taco bell with that money anyways!




ok so that is the end of my rant
you may now start throwin money.

screw you.... ARIANNA

screw you and your 7 million dollar house wearing your fancy earrings and leather jacket.
don't tell me about the millions of homeless and then get your nose powdered by someone else during the commercial or jingle your earrings while showing off your fancy hair! maybe if you donated the money spent on getting your hair done you could pass some of the money down to those people who are hungry right now... you could probably just buy a box of hair dye down at wal-mart for $5.95 and it might look better. lets see the last pair of earrings i bought were on sale at Claire's for .50!!!
i mean seriously why didn't you go for the 5 million dollar house and give the other 2 million away?
i threw a starburst at the t.v while you were on.
and those are my favorite, you should actually feel privileged it was a red one too!!!

people like you make me sick.
one other thing... next time you go and volunteer for under privileged children maybe you should leave your leather jacket at home.

me...

living the simple life has its ups and downs....
but for the most part we are on the up.
life is good when you have people you love around you!
but its hard when I am alone with my thoughts...

i don't think i've missed out on anything but i can't even begin to realize what it would be like if i could see through antohers eyes... maybe it would be worse.
just because i can not literally see things clear doesn't mean i don't have a clear view of whats going on... i think i may have a better view than a lot of people around me...

after almost 8 years of knowing i have a condition called stargardts i now know my life could not have been this good with out it. i've always known god does things for a reason but believe me i have had my doubts...
when you are young all you think about is when you get your license you are gonna be the coolest kid on the block and go do so many cool things and your parents won't have to take you to the mall. but for me i was like "oh crap what am i gonna do now?"

but you see god is oh so tricky!!! he thinks he is so smart sometimes and i think i would have to agree with him. i have had so many advantages to my life and have met some of the most amazing people.
the blind are not a different race but a community, a wonderful community of people who i have had the honor of joining, they are a different community than most communities you think of. we are a community that is so inviting and kind. they could care less what color your skin is, what sex you are or anything else. we have on thing in common and we have the best viw of the world.
it is not destroyed by images on the news or in the paper... even those of us with sight have it good. we know how lucky we are to have the vision we do and don't take it for granted every day i see something more beautiful than the last. whetther it be my daughter, my husband or the little blue bird in the backyard.
i don't take for granted the things i have in my life because i know they could be gone at any time or i could have never got them.

don't be selfish, . the world is not yours alone but all of ours to share and take in the beauty of what God has created! it is such a wonderful place... forget about the politics and money, just sit outside listen to the sounds of nature and all god's little creatures including your kids.

LIFE is so so wonderful and it should not be taken for granted for the stupidest things. we are here together right now so just make it the best you can.
