100 Years

One of my absolute favorites, and now, 

take a little time to reflect on what you're thankful for.

I know I'm thankful for my friends, 

and my family, 

and the life I have. 

Enjoy! 

Lots of Love,

Slow Dance

SLOW DANCE
by: Davic L. Weatherford


"Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round,
or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Do you run through each day on the fly,
when you ask "How are you?", do you hear the reply?

When the day is done, do you lie in your bed,
with the next hundred chores running through your head?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

Ever told your child, we'll do it tomorrow,
and in your haste, not see his sorrow?

Ever lost touch, let a friendship die,
'cause you never had time to call and say hi?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast,
time is short, the music won't last.

When you run so fast to get somewhere,
you miss half the fun of getting there.

When you worry and hurry through your day,
it's like an unopened gift thrown away.

Life isn't a race, so take it slower,
hear the music before your song is over."


We are only on this planet for a short time, why not make it the best possible?

The Value of Time

TIME:
It is something you read on a clock: digital or analog.
It is dictating our every move.
Whether its planning for the future, or running around daily,
 it keeps our lives scheduled.

When we think about what time is,
 and realize how it impacts our lives,
why not enjoy every minute?

There's time in all our lives,
 when we want time to pass slowly, and never end,
while other times to just hurry up.

Time is a valuable thing,
we're only on this earth for so long,
and one thing to remember:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
-Unknown- 

Enjoy life, and never regret a minute of it. 

Lots of love,
Nina

Happy 2011! 

OH! COLLEGE

Could it possibly get any better? 

Thank you all the support, and belief in my success. 

I could not ask to be at any different University, 

or other place for my college experience. 

Sing along with me! 

Hey! Hey you! You know what to do! 

You have to roll with the gold and boogie with the blue! 

Hey! Hey you! You know what to do! 

You have to roll with the gold and boogie with the blue! 

Go Bears! 

Lots of love,

Music

 What music defines you? 

Share your likes and favorite hits of the summer! 

I have a very diverse taste in music. 

It depends somewhat on my mood.

:) 

and right now, I'm happy! 

Jason Mraz, Snow Patrol, Nickelback, Train and many many more. 

and on a more classical note: 

Rachmaninoff, Chopin, Mendelssohn! :) 

Lots of love,

Nina :)

Golf?

What is golf? 

Golf is something my Gramma enjoys.

Golf is something that I watch because she likes it.

Golf is something that takes motivation and concentration.

Golf is unlike any other sport.

My Gramma is 86. She'll be 87 in September. 

She used to play golf all the time, but now that she's older,

she can't play anymore, so watching it, 

is the one thing that makes her happy.

Which makes me happy. 

Lots of love,

Nina :) 

Welcome Summer

Summer is here! 

I LOVE summer! 

 I am enjoying the time away from school, 

and just relaxing with friends and family. 

I'm off to enjoy some chicken noodle soup, 

and no, I'm not sick. Just like it :)
