Sam I Am.: Somewhere. Over the Rainbow.

Somewhere. Over the Rainbow.

Today I clicked on my friends blog, and started reading. Then a song came on. A song that I hadn't heard in years but it suddenly brought back a flood of memories that completely subdued me for a good 60 seconds.
I remember playing in the grass of our little American Fork house, jumping on the tramp with my brother and hoping he wouldn't bounce me off. I remember my dad pushing me on the swings so high that I was worried I'd fall off. I think why I remember this song so much is because my Dad loves it so much. Occasionally I'll catch him whistling it, or it'll show up on a slideshow of family pictures.
If there ever was a song that I wanted to play in the background while I lived my life, it'd be this one.
It reminds me of Hawaii, too.
Ah that beautiful place. I miss it so much. I miss the white sand beaches, and sitting out on the waves of Sunset Beach, watching the sun sink down into the perfect blue water. Ah, I dunno.
With life being so crazy, I couldn't be more thankful to music. Like This. Or This!
"Where trouble melts like lemon drops... High above the chimney tops that's where.. you'll find me."

Sunset Beach. Ahhhh.

Wasn't I adorable? Lets get real. Look at that face.

Anyway.
Somewhere over the Rainbow.. the rest of my life is going to happen. But I'm alright with waiting. Because I like this moment right now.

"Promise yourself

To be so strong that nothing can disturb your peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to everyone you meet.

To make all your friends feel that there is something in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.

To think only the best, to work only for the best, and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as you are about your own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.

To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of yourself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words but great deeds.

To live in faith that the whole world is on your side so long as you are true to the best that is in you."

-Christian D. Larson.

“This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth. But the good part is you get to decide how you're going to mess it up. Girls will be your friends - they'll act like it anyway. But just remember, some come, some go. The ones that stay with you through everything - they're your true best friends. Don't let go of them. Also remember, sisters make the best friends in the world. As for lovers, well, they'll come and go too. And babe, I hate to say it, most of them - actually pretty much all of them are going to break your heart, but you can't give up because if you give up, you'll never find your soul mate. You'll never find that half who makes you whole and that goes for everything. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself, because if you don't, then who will, sweetie? So keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about.” - Marilyn Monroe
