Possibility.

I think it is possible for anyone to do as they want if they truly want something, no matter how small they are, like the Lord of The Rings. Ever been so afraid of failing where everyone was counting on you, where the whole world depended on  it, and you would feel let down if you let them all down. I am watching it at the moment, there is one part that always makes me cry: when Boromir is saving the two hobbits, no matter how many arrows get stuck in him he keeps fighting, even though he is so clearly dying because he wanted to save the little ones. Its such a heartwarming scene, have you watched Lord of The Rings? Such a good trilogy and I found out today that the Hobbit is coming out!! ^_^ Happy times.

Sometimes we are so afraid of failing, we dont try at all, I think we should rather try and fail and perhaps succeed then dont try and fail. Its going to be okay. I guess we just have to have faith in ourself. Corny? I know it is, but is true.

Ponderings.

This is my Walks to Remember, but I wanted to put some other things in here as well, I hope that doesnt make you frown upon me. I just keep thinking about different things. I wish that we could just be who we were in society, I sometimes feel that we fear that we are going to be judged for who we are too much like the quote goes never judge a book by its cover. Its so hard to be ourselves, because lets face it people do judge us for being different. We're too fat, too skinny, straight, gay spotty,smooth skin. How are we ever supposed to be ourselves on this? So much meaning is placed on the outside, makes me think of beauty and the beast, which is a good story although I was afraid of the beast when I was younger I must admit. The teen years and childhood can be so difficult trying to find your place in the world, not being afraid of your own shadow hoping to fit in somehow. The thing is there is no such word as normal, different is good all the way. Such confusing times is teens years so much to think about, peer pressure, and many other things.

I am also in love with Adele at the moment particularly her song someone like you when I heard it on Comic Relief. Did any of you watch it?  Was so sad some of the things those people went through, makes you realise what you have right?

Enough of my philosophical rant. Please know your all beautiful as you are. Dont be afraid to be you. <3 Be brave, and bold there will always be people who will love you just as you are. Everyone else, doesnt matter. The saying goes of the people that say that stuff is the people who mind dont matter...

Race for Life Training Day 2

So today was my second day of training at the gym, and although it was quite hard work I felt an adrenaline rush everytime some good music came on. A bit of Bon Jovi and Colours of the Wind if you can believe it. Didnt feel quite as wobbly today, although I lost my water bottle under the treadmill, and didnt want to look stupid so didnt attempt to try and retrieve it. What a plank I am.

I am so determined to do this, it helps having a set date, as it gaves me a date to accomplish it by. Helps get me fitter too which is always an added bonus. After my first training session I could definitely feel it in my belly and my legs, and I shall probably be feeling it tomorrow. Shows my muscles are working I guess (which have not been used for a while ><) Even hurts to laugh :D. Hey Ho. One step at a time.

I think I might treat myself after have done some work and snuggle down and watch To Kill A Mockingbird. Ahh Bliss ^_^

Thanks to whoever is reading.

Race for Life Training day 1


I put this in my other blog but I am not sure if many people know its there so thought would put it here as well. So I signed up for the race for life as you know , and today I officially started training for it. I went to the gym, and am taking it slow to begin with as have decided to run it. Bought this useful book a while ago called Running for Beginners, just as well, it is proving very useful.

Gives you good tips not to mention motivational quotes from Martin Luther King something along the lines of taking one step at a time before climbing the entire staircase rings bells.

The music definitely helped, listening to Lady GaGa makes a workout so much more fun :D. Will have a rest tomorrow and then start up again on Wednesday. I felt a bit like Bridget Jones you know where shes decided to get fit and healthy and quit smoking and theres a picture of her on the cycle and she cycles so hard that when she came off, she fell off. I felt a bit like that except I didnt fall off, just felt a bit dizzy haha.

There was a guy who was running next to me was slightly intimidating, as he was running so fast, and all I could think was I wish I could run as fast and as good as that. Nevermind maybe someday hey?

Anyway Day 1, the programme lasts ten weeks as am not starting the race till 12th June. Will keep you updated who ever reads or is interested.

Race For Life

So I signed up for the Race for life which I am quite excited about :) even though it is 5km, I had better get into gear and start training. Have decided as well that I am going to run it, me RUNNING, haha now that may look interesting, but its all for a good cause. It will be on the 12th June, anyway I have been thinking about what I should wear, apparently that is half the fun, finding something funny to wear, people have worn pink bunny ears and things like that, so I shall have to come up with something. Make it more fun! :)

Sleepless in Seattle

So I watched this film yesterday and I liked it ^_^, slightly biased I suppose as I do rather like Tom Hanks, especially in films like Forrest Gump and You've Got Mail :). It is such a charming film, full of mystery, because you always wonder whether they are going to meet even though deep down you know that they will. The kid was also very sweet, you see how much the father cares about his son Jonas, because he is the only thing he has left, the only reason for his existance.

Perhaps these sort of films also help you to believe that amazing things can happen! That if you do believe in those sort of things that everything happens for a reason, fate, destiny.

Believe in your dreams everyone. 'Someday you'll see. It will all be worth it' - Chris Gallatin

We all deserve a little love and happiness, believe in something more. Anything is possible.

Greatest Books Ever Written

The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe


Finished this book last night, and I must say there is one point in the book that makes me cry. Makes me cry in the film everytime, and it made me cry in the book not to spoil anything of course. In comparison to the film I did feel that they did quite a good job but of course there are little quirks which never quite live up to the book. I did also find in the book that I had more sympathy for Edmund than I did in the film, where I felt he did not deserve as much. Yet C.S Lewis does try and help us to understand why he did what he did, this and the fact that he was only a boy. I enjoyed this book and look forward to the next chapter..

One of the greatest things about these types of books, is that you can lose yourself in another world, oh if only there was a magical world beyond the wardrobe, maybe there could be..?
