Why I love small town life

I love it when you go to the local gas station that has a hole in the wall restaurant, you know everybody and everybody that is there. You get caught up on the small town gossip like who has left, which boy is being a nuisance in the town. You can talk to anybody in there because you lived in the town so much and grew up in it that everybody knows your name. Also, you can walk in there and when you go up to order they generally say the usual because you've gone so much that they know what you are going to order. When you walk into the gas station they are generally playing good ol' music because most of the folks that go there listen to country music.

You can walk anywhere in the town because people drive like they got common sense. Another thing iI like about small town life is everybody helps one another through the hard times, everybody is willing to go to the extra mile to help one out either that be with mechanics, helping on the farm or just being their for support.

Then there is the local church where everybody goes too. Everybody gathers to hear the good lords message than afterwords you go home play a pick up game of football, and have a damn good Sunday super comprised of chicken, corn, and other good stuff. You then go out for your Sunday drive which everybody who does not come from a small town does not like Sunday drivers becasue they go slow and those people are in a hurry.

Small Town Life is Better Than CITY LIFE

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
