Ain't that the truth

We have a TV and VCR/DVD player in our nursery at church. We have a wide variety of ages so we play movies almost the entire time. We have a few Veggie Tales movies and one in particular stands out. It's just all of their silly songs and towards the end they say they have to fill some time so they sing from a Chinese take out menu. It cracks me up every time. (Ya I know maybe a little lame but you should seriously listen to it before you judge!)  They break a fortune cookie during the song and the fortune says "Beware of grape with wooden mallet." and they reply "ain't that the truth."

I LOVE that phrase. Ain't that the truth. It just covers so much. My sister and I are always saying it to each other. (Please note you must say it in the same type of voice as the veggie does on the tape) How many times in a day are there things where all you can say is "Ain't that the truth." Things happen, people are people, and you can't get away from the truth. Some days things just suck. Ain't that the truth? Other days you can just laugh at how ridiculous things are and say ain't that the truth.

So today whatever is going on just remember, "Ain't that the truth."


Psst!! If you want to know what song I'm talking about go here!!

Eat, Pray, Love

I just watched this fabulous movie this week and plan to read the book soon. It was long but so good and in a way inspiring. If you don't already know or can't tell I am in love with quotes and this movie was full of them! It was a wonderful story line about finding yourself and who you want to be and I really related to it. That is something I am doing right now, searching for who I want to be. If you know what I mean. =) A quote from the movie really stuck out to me. "Ruin is a gift, ruin is the road to transformation." How many times to we go into despair because our plans are ruined or anything else that pops into your mind is RUINED. When in fact it isn't ruined it just needs to be transformed, changed, amended. My plans were ruined recently when my bf decided to change his R&R destination. His decision makes sense and is best for him and I will still get to see him but my plans were RUINED and I was pissed. I did cool down but looking at it now they were never truly ruined. I could have claimed that if I wasn't going to see him but all I have to do is transform my plans. My life may have some ruined spots but they are better now because I transformed them. So maybe ruin isn't such a bad thing after all...maybe it just means that something better is to come. Don't get me wrong the ruin can still hurt but most the time what comes next is amazing.
