Thankfulness.

So our internet was down for a about a week, but I still wanted to write about Thanksgiving.

~Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays, next to Christmas and my birthday. The smells, the food, family and friends, it's all so wonderful. Everyone seems to be just a little bit nicer on Thanksgiving too. This Thanksgiving I had so much to be thankful for. A warm house, food to eat, a loving family, swell friends, and most importantly a gracious Savior. Thanksgiving isn't about the food, or traditions. It's not even about family or friends. It's about remembering to be thankful for the little things, that we so often forget. It's about seeing joy in the little things, and focusing on the positive instead of always focusing on the negative. I love Thanksgiving for many reasons, but most importantly it's a day to be thankful for anything and everything I want to be thankful for!

Gloom!

On a gloomy day it seems as if there is nothing you want to do, except take a nap, read a good book, or drink a steamy hot cup of something or other. I love gloomy afternoons, any day out of the week. They seem slower, and less rushed.. The leaves falling and the rain drizzling, makes for a perfect fall, lazy afternoon.

~Don't even get me started on how excited I am for snow!~

A Tribute.

A tribute to Culvers. Thanks for all the laughs, and putting up with us. Really.. It's a big job.

My beautiful sisters..

Hip hip hooray for Culvers!

Writing...

Why does it seem as though writing is more fun when it's not with a pen and paper? I'm trying to find motivation to write a report on Frankenstein by Mary Shelly. I don't know what it is about writing, but I just despise it. My mom wants to know the difference between blogging and writing, and there really is no difference. Just that I hate writing. So with that all said, I'm halfway through my report still clueless on what I want to write. It also doesn't help that Frankenstein is probably the most pointless, and creepy book I've ever read!

Blah!

Three things.

Three things I love about chilly [fall] days.

Cozy colorful socks,

a steamy cup of hot coco,

and a clean kitchen.

What do you love about fall?

Count it all joy.

There is a verse that has been on my heart lately.

Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
~James 1:2-4~

Life as we know it.

After being inspired by so many older women, that have their own blogs, I've decided to start one myself. Though I'm only fifteen years old, people always do say you don't get any younger. So, here goes nothing!

Why does life have to be so fast? Here in America, we are the most blessed. Shouldn't we take that blessing and hold it dear to our hearts for just a moment longer? A moment to laugh, love, live. This world, as we know it, will flash past our eyes if it was never here. So take time today (and there's no better season for it, then this.) and thank someone, compliment someone, pray for someone.

Live to love and love to live.
