On the Bright Side of Life

It's been a good week so far. Today was especially good. I slept in, read some more of the New Testament, and had a relaxing but productive day. I drove Mom to work late (she didn't feel well when she woke up originally), then went and stopped by the Pelrines' and caught up with Mary a little bit, which was awesome. Then I went downtown and handed out Blood Drive posters along Main Street. We're having a blood drive at the Church on Saturday, so I wanted to get the word out about that. I stopped at Darrell's Music Hall while I was down there, of course, and looked around in there! I saw them unloading and putting together a BEAUTIFUL baby grand piano...it was white...I think I almost drooled! I also finished cleaning my room today, so now it's clean and there's a lot less cat hair in it! I think I'm going to light a candle...

okay, now it's lit and pretty and will smell good! Even though I need to go to bed relatively soon. Because I have to be at work at 5am tomorrow. Oh the joys of having completely flexible hours for the grocery store! But at least I'll be done before the morning is over, so I'll have lots of time to finish other things on my list of things to do! OH! And I got to talk to James today, and we made some plans for while Mom and I are in Alaska. Woohoo!

Yesterday Steven and I took a road trip up to Laconia, and saw Lake Winnepesaukee while it was dead, before tourist season. We also found a drive-in movie theater. And Rollercoaster Road. And Karen's Gifts and More. And tons of other fun things! It was a great road trip. Okay, I've gotta go now, as Michael wants to show me something and so does Mom. :) I'll post some pictures later in the week! :)

    You always seem to find the bright side of things. Just an ordinary day but you make it sound so much fun.

To be or not to be...

...in this case, it is not the question but rather the answer. Today in Church a talk was given that brought up something important to me.  I am a "list person".  I have so many lists, because that is how I stay organized.  The most frequent list I make is a to-do list, generally before I go to bed for the next day (yes, I still have nightly planning sessions, hahahaha, picked that up from the mission!).  But in this talk, the speaker talked about how we like to-do lists because we can check things off as we finish.  But have we ever thought about a "To be" list?  So that got me thinking.  And tonight for my scripture study, I was pondering over this and decided that I also needed to make a "Not to be" list.  And these are lists that will stay with me for life, as I will never be perfect and will always be working on becoming more like Christ.  Because that is the ultimate goal of a "to be" list.  So here is the result of my study: T...

10 Things I love about Hannaford

So originally I was going to do this in sarcasm...but then decided that I could actually come up with 10 things (in no specific order) I like about my job. Even though being a cashier at a grocery store is not ideal, it's a job, and...well, you'll see. 1. Going on break with my dad sometimes. Because, you know, we work in the same store. It's pretty cool. 2. I love the people I work with soooooo much! Mainly the ones during the day, because I don't know any of the high school kids that work evenings, because I rarely work evenings. 3. Being the "party animal". nuff said. 4. Watching a cashier ID someone for alcohol, and him telling us that he doesn't even have a photo ID since his license was taken away for DWI. Yeah, maybe he should rethink his purchase... 5. Now when I hear the name of a vegetable, I automatically think of its PLU. Dates: 3047. Cabbage: 4069. Bananas: 4011. Tree Ripe Peaches: 4044. Eastern Peaches: 4403. Nectarines: 4378....

Shades of Gray

Sometimes you think you've seen and heard it all. You look back on your life and think, "wow, I've been through everything." And you realize that you've been friendless, lost people close to you to the dreaded cancer, pretty much failed a class, missed work entirely, didn't know how you were going to pay your bills, been rejected by people you liked, felt lost and aimless, been rejected twice from the dream you've been dreaming, had the car die on you more times than you can count, and the list goes on. On the other hand, you've got amazing friends, the gospel in life, a positive and optimistic outlook, had the opportunity to be an EFY counselor, have an amazing family, travelled a ton, finally found what you want to do with your education, and the list goes on longer than the first. And then you think, again, "wow, I really HAVE been through everything!" And you think you know how to deal with anything that might come your way, because ...
