Life seems to move pretty fast. And by the time you know it, you will have lived 50 years; half a century. Half a century of history, half a century of memories and moments. Some good, other's not quite the way you planned. But to know that you did something that makes your existence known is what I am writing about. Whether it be helping an elderly woman with her groceries or volunteering at your local hospital, anything and everything helps. You never know, you may be the next elderly person to be approached by a youth.

I'm sitting here, working on one of my articles when all of a sudden my mom comes in, places an unknown record into the record player. I look at her funny and all of a sudden The Beatles start to play. An instant smile spreads across my face. Throwing all her records onto the bed next to me, she begins to to the twist to "Saw her Standing There" one of the original songs brought to us by England's number 1 vocal group. I can't help but laugh. My mom always knows what to do to brighten up my day, especially since today was pretty horrible. And so, here I am, nodding my head to the beat of skipping records, trying to imagine how cool it would have been to meet The Beatles. I am starting to love records so much better than CD's. Except for the skipping. XD I keep hinting for my own record player to my mother, hoping she listens and gets me one when the holidays come around!

EDIT: Omg!!! Twist and Shout just came on and my mom is like turbo with the twisting!!!! I tend to like their version better than Chubby Checkers. In case you don't know who he is, this song is the most popular song ever. A little research doesn't hurt.
