30 Days of Truth, Days 24 and 25
So I forgot yesterday. My B. It's okay though because yesterday's was a little weird...so here are yesterday's AND today's and you can pick one or both, or whatever.
Today's topics:
Day 24: Make a playlist to someone, and explain why you
chose all the songs. (Just post the titles and artists and letter)
Day
25: The reason you believe you?re still alive today.
Dear Bump: You suck.

Re: 30 Days of Truth, Days 24 and 25
I suck at both of these. I'm not musical enough to be able to put together a good play list. I thought about starting one for my MIL with the song "Crazy B!tch" by Buckcherry, but then I looked up the lyrics. Um...yeah...not that one.
I guess I'm still alive today because of a mixture of attitude and luck. Luck that I've never been in a fatal accident, and a good enough attitude to deal with everything else life has thrown at me.
Day 24: I make playlists all the time on our desktop for my husband and step daughter. My husband's has a lot of music that I know he likes - such a variety, but I also add fun little retro songs like Poison or things from high school. He always messages me from work when he runs across one of these. Step daughter really likes women singers and songs with dance beats. I have the standard Miley, Jonas Brothers, and Justin Beiber that she likes, but I also throw in some fun En Vogue or Bangles. No real message to them, just stuff I thought they'd like.
Day 25: Because I listen to my inner voice that says something is wrong. I came home one night to an odd smell in my apartment. When I called the apartment maintenance people, they told me they would come and check it out in the morning. I still didn't feel right, so I went to my neighbor who was a fire fighter. He came over and made me get myself and cats out of there. He called his squad and they discovered there was a gas leak from the store below that was venting directly into my apartment. I would never have woken up. Since then, I've tried to listen to the voice and make sure my life was worth saving that night.
Day 24: not really into doing a list today (which is weird because I like to make lists--even if I don't ever cross everything off on my lists)
Day 25: I am alive today because I've stopped taking stupid chances. I don't dangle from theater grids without harnesses anymore. I don't drink and drive. I wear my seat belt. I've stopped doing dumb things. I've grown up--yay me!!
Playlists...that's a no go. I don't even make them for myself much less other people. Too much thought for today.
I'm alive b/c...it's not my time to die yet. I've never had a really close call and am fortunate. I'm also a big inner voice person and have steered clear of situations I thought were dicey.
Day 24 - If I had time, I would make a list for a few people, but I doubt it'd have the effects I'd want it to have on them. Soooo, gonna skip that.
Day 25. I'm alive because of medical professionals. Because my OB knew enough to recognize I was in an emergency situation during childbirth, and because I sought out medical treatment for my PPD.
