How Far Will Happy Go

I've decided that I want to live life to actually LIVE life! That means going places and doing things that I've always wanted to do and I don't want to look back at my life and say 'I wish that I...I should have....I could have....'
So I decided that I wanted to go to the San Jacinto museum this weekend and none of my friends are into going to museums, so I went by myself. I drove all the way on the other side of Houston by myself.That in itself is a major feat.

San Jacinto is a very important place for Texas. It is where the last battle for Texas was fought with Mexico to obtain Texas. The Mexicans were going to start taxing the Texans and one thing that Texans don't like is being taxed. This is actually what led up to the Alamo. San Jacinto was the last battle after the Alamo and Gulio. Finally Santa Anna and Sam Houston met up with their armies at San Jacinto. The Texans were outnumberd 6 to 1. Santa Anna had 6000 troops and Sam Houston had less than 1000. But the way that Sam Houston positioned his troops and he knew that the Mexicans would be partying all night and sleeping all day, he attacted during the day while the Mexican troops were asleep. The battle only lasted 11 minutes and Santa Anna was captured and Sam Houston was wounded in the leg. So the two of them sat under an old oak tree and got high on heroin and Santa Anna gave Sam Houston in exchange for his freedom. He went back to Mexico and became president and Sam Houston got Texas.True story.
The monument is taller than the Washington monument. There were only 10 Texans killed during the battle and I wanted to get a picture of the cementary, so I tramped through the mud and weeds to get a picture. I fell in the mud and couldn't get up. I laid there and cried and then I remembered that I am a trooper too. I will live my life to actually do things to live life. So here are a few pictures of me living life covered in mud, but never the less, I'm living life! That's what real troopers do.

Recently I was nominated to be a breast cancer survivor model for MACY'S. Imagine that! Me...a model! I will be walking down a real runway with other real models.
Darn, I had lost all that weight and was down to a size 10 and then they put me on prednisone and I gained it all back. Oh well, such is a life of a model,always having to worry about their weight!I wonder if I get to keep the clothes?
This is the email that I received recently followed up with a phone call.

Dear Models!

We’re about four weeks away (May 14) from the Macy's Komen Diva’s and Dames Pink Ribbon Reception, and time to start doing our prep work. Oh, such is the life of a Super Model – work, work, work. J

The first order of business will be to fill out the attached Model Profile Sheet and return it with a full length photo of yourself. The first page of the Profile Sheet includes some helpful instructions to assist with scheduling, fittings, etc. As for the picture, almost everyone has a digital camera these days so I suspect that is the easiest way to submit a picture but if not and you prefer to fax or mail yours, please do so to the fax # or address below. Let me know via e-mail when you return your Profile Sheet how you will be submitting your picture (if it isn’t attached to your e-mail) so Sharon or I can follow-up on it. This picture will not be returned so please don’t send one you cannot part with. A candid photo will be perfect.

Please send this information to me by next Wednesday, April 8th. I will in turn get it to Sharon Biles who will coordinate your appointments with Beautique and Lenny for Macy’s from there. Sharon and/or someone from Beautique and Macy’s will be in touch with you about fitting times, hair and make-up appointments, etc. Sharon will be in touch with you but her e-mail is on the “cc” line above should you need to get in touch with her sabreproperties@yahoo.com
Until there’s a cure,

Yep, I made up my mind. I choose to be happy today. No matter what happens. I wake up in so much pain, but that's okay. i know that i can take some medicine and in an hour or so, the pain will ease. So I'm happy about that.

My neighbor across the street passed away last week and gave me her swing. One of those really nice one with the umbrella on top. Today, i will spend time swinging away and enjoying every moment of it and thinking of her the whole time. THERE was a lady who knew how to enjoy life! She was 89 and traveled all over the world. She would have so much fun everyday.

So today, I choose to be happy. i will share my happiness with my family and friends. They always laugh at some silly antic that i've come up with. (Sorry about the i in this, my cap lock is broke on just that letter, so i guess I shouldn't talk so much about i LOL)

But today will be a happy day. i don't know what is going to happen today, but something will make me happy. i just know it! Because i choose to make it that way. A lot of people will waste their day whining about the economy or health or other people, but not me. i'm just going to be happy today.

How about you? Can you "choose" to be happy today?
