Dear God, make me a bird, so I can fly, far far away.

I want to be free
Free to live Life
Live, Love and Laugh
Freedom from this self made
prision
I read these blogs about un-schooling their children, no plastic, homemade everything, live in a RV and travel the country. Just live. It is all about you, God, family and country.
=)
Smiley face is how those thoughts make me feel.
how could I do that though??
The thought of no bills, besides what it just costs you to live? Freedom
Work when you need it, not for someone else? Freedom
Debt? Nope. Freedom
Restrictions? no. Freedom
Timeline? Only what YOU WANT it to be. Freedom.
I want that. right now.

Be thankful for what you are missing?
" Be thankful for what you have: you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough"
-Oprah Winfrey
" If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough."
-Ann Landers
These two quotes found me at two different times, yet carry the basic message. Be thankful for the now, quit fretting about the past. Be happy with your life, not look for something that is better. I have some friends going through some rough patches in many different parts of their very different lives. But I just want to share these two quotes with all of them.
You are a strong, amazing woman, you can get past this, you have had worse? Right? Do not let this be the thing that breaks you. If you break, just know I will be there to help pick up the pieces. Do not be ashamed for these feelings, you are still you and YOU are FANTASTIC!!
