Changes :)

Well, this blog is NOT dead :P I won't let it die. But I think I may make a few changes to the format and how I am going to be posting for the next little while.

One of my friends suggested that I take a notebook and make notes of the things I am thankful for, and then make one big post at the end of every week. Another friend suggested making a set time every day to post, and trying to make a habit out of it that way. Both of them are great ideas....so I am going to keep thinking about it, and see if I can't figure something out that will work while I'm busy with college and work :)

At the moment, I'm thinking of possibly doing a post every couple of days. I'll write it in my planner and do my absolute best to make it happen. :)

I was thinking...I have this blog...and with everything that has been going on at the Cove, with the Hole in Our Gospel series and all that...and how can I not have posted about how thankful I am for water?

Water is life. And...we as Americans have access to clean water, 24/7. Clean, fresh water. We drink it, we bathe in it, we brush our teeth with it...heck, we water our grass and wash our cars with it. A lot of third world countries don't even have any to drink. Yet we use it for everything here. We definitely take it for granted.

But seriously, I am so super thankful for it :) We wouldn't be here without it. God has certainly blessed us in the water department :)

Oooh my goodness. I love flowers.

lol That probably sounds funny...but I really do. Flowers are one of the things I love about springtime...they add so much color to everything, everywhere. And they're on everything...trees, bushes, and even coming out of the ground. It's awesome :)

Not to mention...they are sooo perfect for photography :) None of them look identical. MMmm I love them :) haha God has such an imagination :)

Hehe :)

I'm thankful that I was introduced to the piano at a very young age. Like...you have no idea how thankful I am for that.

My mom has played the piano as long as I can remember...she taught piano when I was growing up, and I started lessons when I was 4 or 5. So...I've pretty much grown up with a piano in the house at all times :)

I can't tell you the amount of times I got tired of the piano. Tired of practicing or hearing it. And I can't tell you how many times I told my mom that I wanted to stop taking lessons. But she wouldn't hear it. She made me keep doing it. And I'm sooo glad she did :) Who knows where I would be right now if I didn't play the piano? I don't know what I would be going to college for. I wouldn't be serving on the band at church, and I likely wouldn't know half of the people I know right now...because I met most of them through Masterworks or the Cove. It's pretty amazing :) So...being able to play has opened a ton of doors for me, and is part of who I am. So yeah...I'm thankful that I was started young :)

I'm super thankful for my phone :)

It's not so new anymore, but I still love it. I love the slide out keyboard...I love being able to text on it as much as I want (I have unlimited, YAY!) and being able to post pictures on facebook no matter where I am :) Not to mention, it's the coolest color ever. I love it :)

So, I realize I'm about a million days behind again. But serious, it's the week before Christmas and things are getting crazy here :) But I will catch up, all the way :)

But I am super thankful for cards.

Whoever invented cards was a genius. You can do anything with them. You can carry a deck around in your pocket or your purse, and pull them out anywhere...and someone is bound to know how to play Go, Fish! or something like that.

At CSM, we always play Kemps...I love playing Spades, and we've played some pretty epic games of Go, Fish and James Bond and all of those things. I even play this unnamed, one player card game every once in awhile when I'm bored.

I love them. They're fun and portable, and super entertaining :) Yay boredom busters :)

And for December 11, I am thankful for London.

That sounds stupid, because I live in America...but for real, London is where EVERYTHING interesting happened/happens. I still love American history...but British history is much more exciting :P

And on top of that...they have such amazing architecture. They have red phone booths...clock towers...CASTLES and British guards. And Scotland Yard. And Sherlock Holmes. And Jane Austen. And BRITISH ACCENTS. MMMMM. I could go on forever and ever, haha...but serious, London is so entertaining for me :) I could read about it/look at pictures of it forever. It's fabulous :)
