Invisible

Sometimes it seems like all we do is invisible, right?

We put ourselves out there, but we are invisible.  Those we want to see us, don't.
We do all we can to make someone happy, but we can't all the time.
We change who we are (for the better), and yet no one seems to recognize this.
We have great ideas, but our closest friends don't see them as "great".
We look for ways to surprise people, but they don't want the surprise.
We smile even when it hurts, yet others don't smile back.
We fight back the tears to appear strong, so no one sees how weak we really are.
We are the shoulder for everyone else to cry on, but everyone disappears when we need a shoulder.
We give advice, but no one wants it.
Then when we don't give advice, people ask why we have nothing to say.
We are quiet so as not to argue, but they don't see it as peaceful, they see it as passive.
We know we are right sometimes, but to someone, we are always wrong.

But these are all people.  And what do we care about people?  Obviously, we care what those we love think about us, see in us.  But who cares most of all?  Who sees all the "invisible" things we do, think, and say?  God.  And who is the one who is most important?  Also God.  So next time you feel invisible, hit your knees, sob til your tear ducts dry out, pour out your soul...and know that someone is listening, someone cares, and someone is YOUR shoulder to cry on.  The Lord knows us best of anyone, for it is He who created us, it is He who sees all.  He knows how everything will turn out, and if we trust in Him, we can be assured that a greater happiness is in store.  God does not plan for anyone to fail.  We are His children, and He loves us more than we can fathom.  He has great things in store, even for the invisible.

10 Things I hate about Hannaford

Today was one of those days. I've had this list growing in my head for a while too, and today I just want to write it all down, cuz the first part of work, until I got back from my break, pretty much sucked. Stupid people. So in no specific order... 1. Frozen pizzas. I don't like eating them, and I hate them even worse at the register, because their barcodes are dumb and they don't fit in bags. 2. paper in plastic. Seriously, what's the point?! 3. customers who bag for themselves on express. THERE IS NO ROOM ANYWAY, and yet they're making less. This also includes the people who rearrange as you bag for them. yuck. if you want it a specific way, just tell us! 4. people who smell bad. nuff said. 5. old guys who wink at me. and hit on me. sick. 6. when dillon is not my bagger. hahahah. 7. when someone asks "where's corn flake crumbs?" like anyone could even know that. what are those even used for?! just get the crumbs from the bottom o...

Greased Lightning

It's snowing today! And what a great day it's been...minus the fact that I haven't finished nearly as much as I should have by now. But I DID go outside and play in the snow...and that's important! The snow was fresh in the tree....so I did what any little kid would do, and licked it. It was snow AND ice...good thing my tongue didn't freeze to the tree in my front yard! I love tree branches in the snow. There's just something about the combination of brown and pure white that strikes my artistic bone. Part of the tree and part of my house. Looking up Pennichuck Street. So picturesque. Me in my getup...I borrowed Michael's boots because I don't have any in NH (except for my cowboy boots....), and he gave me his snowshoeing boots, because they each weight like 5 pounds, and he just wanted to see me try to walk in them. My sunglasses made a comeback! Well, that's today. I've got a couple papers to write for English 316, and a bunch of Bio to r...

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....
