Snowflakes

Today I came across a inspirational video that caused me to create a pile of Kleenex in front of me. This video is about Randy Pausch who is a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon University, a husband, and the father of three young children. There is a tradition in academia called “The Last Lecture.” If you knew that this was to be your last lecture, what would you say? In the case of Randy Pausch, he wrote a real last lecture. He is sick with terminal cancer. The version I have posted here is a ten-minute recap of his lecture that he gave on the Oprah show

This video is incredible powerful. This week I have spent a lot of my days complaining about life and the amount of school work I have left to accomplish and the weather outside. My perspective is truly off, my priorities are out of order. This video today has made me take a look at myself and my priorities and just breathe. The video is FULL of amazing inspirational advice that is really so simple yet when I have been wrapped up in so much I forget to do the simple things. Randy states at the end of his presentation: "If you lead your life the right away karma will take care of itself and dreams will come to you".

I hope I can live my life that I am a good person who is grateful, honest, hard working and helping. When I start to feel and live in all this negative energy I hope that I can quickly snap out of it and become centered, balanced, whole.

Today I would like to share a few things I am grateful for:
I am grateful for my family- my old and my new family. They are the
I am grateful for the freedoms I have
I am grateful for my health
I am grateful for love---giving and receiving love.
