phlying phones.
Sometimes I throw my phone. Not on purpose, it just happens.
I can't tell you how many times I've dropped my phone on my face while texting laying down.
And sometimes while I'm just spinning my phone around I lose control and it goes flying.
The other night I was reaching to put my phone on my nightstand. I guess I was investing more energy than the task required and let go too early because I literally chucked it clear across the room.
It's kind of funny because, you know, I don't think anyone really means to drop or throw their phone, but it seems to happen a lot. Whenever it happens to me, I laugh. Because it's funny.
My little cellular device has taken quite the beating.
Forgive me, Phone. I promise it's not my intention to abuse you so!

beautiful.
You are a beautiful person.
I truly think people are fascinating. The way different people act and react to things; how different things are amusing to different people...I love discovering these things about everyone I meet.
When you think about it, there are about a gazillion different "characteristics" out there. Isn't it cool that each individual person is basically a compilation of certain characteristics? We each have the opportunity to find those traits within us and utilize them. We can share them with others in ways that help them grow and develop into a better person. A person's potential is amazing!
YOU ARE AMAZING!
The way you laugh, smile, walk, learn, talk, desire....it's all beautiful. I don't know about you, but I think that if you look at it a certain way, life is art. Yeah, there's a ton of crap out there, but the good stuff is full of beauty.

come thou fount.
This song is incredible. MoTab is incredible. You can't not feel the Spirit while listening to this song. I'm pretty sure I could listen to this song all day every day and never get sick of it. I've already listened to it 3 times today!
When I feel the Spirit, I get really happy. This song makes me happy, and the Spirit I feel when I hear it remind me of Heavenly Father's love for me and makes me want to be better. Isn't it cool how music can make you feel such profound things? I love music. I love being Mormon.
This song is basically the soundtrack to a beautiful, Spirit-filled Sabbath Day.
Listen and be inspired!!

sky dancer.
I went on a walk tonight.
Walks and Summer nights are two of my very favorite things, so this was an excellent experience.
I made up a dance while I was walking. People driving past in their cars were probably giving me funny looks, but that's okay because I was happy and having a jolly good choreographing to the music in my head. What a fantastic way to end the day!
And now I just randomly thought of these toys my sisters and I would play with when we were little.
I could never get mine to fly very high. Being a Sky Dancer would probably be pretty cool, but I bet they get dizzy. I guess I'll stick to being a Ground Dancer

toast.
This morning I ate some toast for breakfast.
When it came out of the toaster, it jumped really high like toast always does in cartoons! I didn't catch it in midair or anything, but I still thought it was pretty cool. And it definitely made me happy.

thank you.
My parents are awesome.
Last week my car had to be inspected and when my dad took it to the inspection place, he also bought me gas.
My car, Reggie, has a tiny little gas tank. I drive a lot so I have to fill up about every 4 or 5 days. It was very nice to go a whole 12 days without having to spend my money on gas. I'm pretty sure free gas is about the best thing in the world, so that made me happy.
Thanks, Daddio! You're the best!

i made it.
Last night before I went to bed I thought, "I'm grateful I made it through today. I love how that keeps happening."
Isn't that wonderful?? I guess I just needed to remind myself that I AM GOING TO MAKE IT.
It's interesting how some minutes and hours and days and weeks and years seem to go by so much slower or faster than others, when really they're all the same length (except for leap years, of course).
Sometimes making it through the day really is something to celebrate. But it's good to remember that time will keeping moving, and nothing lasts forever. The weekend will indeed come exactly when it always comes, and that really slow hour of work is actually moving just as fast as the fast hour of work. Most importantly, remember you will make it through.
Keep pushing through those hard times; they will come to an end.
Say a prayer and keep the faith. I find myself saying little prayers throughout the day all the time. Sometimes that's just the extra push you need to keep going. Heavenly Father is aware of you and all your struggles; I know He will help you through the rough spots, and the smooth spots too, for that matter.
Then maybe stop and think about how far you've come and what you've accomplished, and be happy. Remember that you are strong enough.
"Hold on a little longer. You can do this...even when things look bleak. Know and remember this: the Lord loves you, He remember you, and He will ever sustain those who enure in faith to the end."

demons.
No, no this post is not about my favorite Imagine Dragons song. But you go right ahead and listen to that song, because it's fantastic.
This is about those cars with the colorful headlights. I don't understand why some cars, or really, car owners, feel the need to have blue or pink or yellow or green or really white or mismatched colored headlights.
Today I was driving home from work (of course) and there was a car driving the opposite direction as me with BRIGHT BLUE headlights. Those stupid lights burned my eyeballs and I had their imprint in my vision for the rest of the drive home. They were like demon eyes staring at me and I couldn't look away. Because they were burned into my eyeballs, you see.
And when I decided they were like demon eyes I just started laughing, because that's pretty funny to picture little demons looking through cars' headlights.
But still, I'm really not a fan of those colorful headlights. Do us all a favor and stick with the standard non-demonlike white-ish yellow-ish lights.
Okay, thanks.

once upon a wednesday.
Isn't it funny how certain songs can bring back such vivid memories? It's crazy. A couple songs came up on my iPod today that brought me back to Sophomore and Junior year driving to school with my BFF Jill. I mean Adrienne (it's funny because we used to call each other BFF Rose/Jill like that one commercial).
I hear one of the songs we always listened to and I am instantly taken back to those early mornings and hyper afternoons driving in Dorothy/Waldo, her trusty vehicle. I can practically smell her car's distinct smell...no joke.
At one point Adrienne instituted Disney Drive Home Wednesdays. Every Wednesday we would only listen to Disney music on the way home from school. And let's not forget the daily Arctic Circle stops for courtesy cones!
Most of the people who got to experience these epic excursions are now serving missions, but those times we had together in high school were definitely good ones!

i love today.
Today is a beautiful day. Let me tell you why.
I don't have to work today: Self explanatory.
Fresh salsa: My dad made fresh salsa this morning. I am a salsa fan. It's funny because I really don't like tomatoes, onions, or peppers by themselves, but when you chop 'em up and mix 'em in a bowl I can eat the whole thing. YUM.
My journal: I love my journal. I wrote in my journal a lot today. My journal is my happy place. I've written in 4 journals since moving home for the summer (April 11). I really hope that one day my posterity will appreciate the many many many things I write about my life.
Warm wind: I sat outside while I wrote in my journal and the wind was blowing just a little. I love the heat. I love Summer. I love warm wind. It's like the earth is trying to give you a hug or something. It just makes me happy.
Summer storms: I've always loved thunder and lightning. Ever since my dad would take me and my siblings outside on the porch during storms when we were little to watch the lightning. I find them extremely enjoyable. It started raining and thundering today while it was still nice and sunny and it was simply amazing! Storms make me happy.
Pandora: Specifically the How to Train Your Dragon movie score station. How to Train Your Dragon is a fantastic movie and the music is wonderful. I discovered this Pandora station last semester and now I'm hooked. Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Chronicles of Narnia, Finding Nemo, Captain America, Kung Fu Panda, Harry Potter....it's all there, and more! Take a listen!
These are all the reasons I love today.
