I've gone through life wondering who writes the books, that everyone flocks to, so their life seems important. Yes, I know their names, well some of them, but WHO are they? Doctors, self-help gurus, moms, dads, murders, thieves? What makes them better then me? Better then the 'run of the mill' chick from a little town in the south? We all live looking for the next Oprah to help us through a crisis, pain, love lost, but in reality, we can be our own Oprah (or Dr Phil) for our fella' friends. You only become who you want to be. Yes, that sounds so blah, but it is true. WAIT!! Don't stop reading now, hear me out! Life is what you make it. I know some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouths & some are born without a spoon at all. That doesn't matter. The ones with the spoon usually have a head start, but typically decide the spoon isn't enough. They want more. So guess what? When they drop that spoon, it gives you a chance to retrieve it. Take that spoon & do something with it!
*talking about spoons has made me hungry. you can go get a snack too*.
Ok. Back to what I was saying. Have you ever looked at a spoon? I mean really check it out? There's tons of stuff to do with a spoon. Who cares if its silver- aren't most stainless steal anyways?
The obvious, eat (which you should have done by now) dig, stir, give meds, spank your kids~wooden of course...kidding...kidding. Anyways, the spoon reflects, oh yeah, they are mirrors too. Ok, they reflect us as people. We are in the world, no matter what, so what we decide to do with our life is up to us. There are so many possibilities for us. Most of us only choose to do what is easy. We don't think 'outside the spoon'.
So, the point of this blog is my way of using my spoon for something different. Hope you enjoy. If not, who cares!! Go read a book written by Oprah.
