awfully lucky...

"We don't often get to choose the people who come into our lives, but sometimes we get awfully lucky."

I've been thinking a lot about all the people God has put in my path throughout life. 

There are ones that just smile as they pass,

Some that share a moment or two,

And few that share an etire lifetime.

I am so thankful for each and every one. 

My life is more wonderful than I could ever imagine because of the people in it. 

Heavenly Father truely picked the most beautiful souls

to come down from Heaven to lift me up.

To make me laugh

To make me think

To make me smile

And to make me sing

Most of all, He has sent them at the exact moment I needed them.

Proving, once again, that He is mindful of me and my needs.

And I will be forever grateful of that. 

So thank you, My Dear Heavenly Father for making me one lucky girl.

tendencies...

I've been thinking a lot about tendencies lately. According to Dear Ol' Webster, a tendency is an inclination, bent, or predisposition to something (a tendency to talk too much). But I'd just like to add "over and over" to the end of that definition and make it my own.

I have the tendency to make the same mistakes over and over again. 

I love how tendencies are different to each person, I know of plently of people who have the tendency to talk before they think, who spit when they talk, who laugh way too loud, who smile when everythings going wrong, who turn heads without even trying. Which got me wondering what my tendencies are...

I have the tendency to buy ice cream every time I go to Foodland.

I have the tendency to listen to the same 5 songs for a whole semester.

I have the tendency to worry too much about the little things. 

I have the tendency to cry... a lot.

I have the tendency to fall for guys who just got out of serious relationships (not excluding marriage).

I have the tendency to feel like I'm missing out.

I have the tendency to want to read only when I have a million other things to do. 

I have the tendency to date douche bags because sometimes I dont feel like I deserve the ones who have it all together. 

I have the tendency to have a gazillion hobbies.

I have the tendency to fall asleep anywhere.

I have the tendency to coo over babies.

I have the tendency to have random bursts of excitement or hyperness.  

I have the tendency to smile to try and smooth over a situation. 

I have the tendency to think way too much. 

I have the tendency to write random blog posts about tendencies.

 

go girl...

throw your sticks and stones

throw your bombs and blows

but you're not gunna break my soul

still believe...

why am i the one...

  "So darlin' if you love me, would you let me know?"

..."Or go on go on go on, if you were thinking that the worst is yet to come."

"For once for once for once, I get the feeling like I'm right where I belong."

..."Why am I the one always packin' up my stuff?"

take me away...

Cause for celebration!!!

 

I wrote my first song for piano this week

Working 40hrs with no classes leaves a lot of free time

So I sat myself down, the other day, in front of the keys and went at it

It's not written about anybody in particular

Just me playing around

Anyways I was so excited, I told my friend Adam

Who insisted on recording it with GarageBand on his iPad

So we did and now I'm even more stoked about it

I made it into a lyric video with cheesy pictures

So I could share it with my family

And I thought I'd share it with you too

Hope you enjoy!

for this is love...

Oh, give us pleasure in the flowers to-day;
And give us not to think so far away
As the uncertain harvest; keep us here
All simply in the springing of the year.

Oh, give us pleasure in the orchard white,
Like nothing else by day, like ghosts by night;
And make us happy in the happy bees,
The swarm dilating round the perfect trees.

And make us happy in the darting bird
That suddenly above the bees is heard,
The meteor that thrusts in with needle bill,
And off a blossom in mid air stands still.

For this is love and nothing else is love,
The which it is reserved for God above
To sanctify to what far ends He will,
But which it only needs that we fulfil. 

-Robert Frost

let your mind wander...

If you want to know where your heart is 

look to where your mind goes when it wanders.
