Press Forward, O Ye Tired Ones!

Okay, so I'm not gonna lie, I am super tired right now. If feels that so many people, especially teens, are finding themselves in "downer" moods. We're always tired, always hungry, always complaining about how little sleep we get (again, referring to the tired thing). But the thing I think most teenagers don't realize, is that they're the ones making life so tiring! With the right outlook, anyone can switch that unhappy, tired mood without using so much energy that you crash after the "peak" of your happiness. It's different for everyone, so I'm not gonna tell you how to do it, but once you find that sweet spot where you can live life happy and energetic with limited amounts of rest, you're find how much you truly enjoy life! Besides, it tires one mind to be pessimistic, so why look at all the bad in life if you're already tired as it is? Take a step, be optomistic, be happy, and forget about living a "Sorry, I'm too tired" life. :D SMILE!!

Time: Of Great Essence

Isn't it interesting how fast time flies while it seems to drag while we're in it? AMAZING! I think back to all the things I've done within the past couple of months and can think of so many things and yet I almost want to answer "Not a lot" to a question posing what I've been up to. There have in deed been many things that I've accomplished over the last few months, some of which are great things, and other, much smaller, that are only great in the retrospect of all that is good and right. Many lessons have been learned. Always remember to DO YOUR HOMEWORK!! (or in cases of others, housework, or work-work, or perhaps mom-work) Whatever the case, understanding priorities in life is one of the number one things all people should take into consideration as their most prized possesion. All things will turn out if we have our priorities straightened out. For me, I need to always remember to put the Lord and my family first. I find that when I am not, I'm more stressed, I feel overwhelmed with easy tasks, and I don't get along easily with those around me. Who wants to be around a snob who only thinks of themself? NOBODY! So, at this time, I'd like to apologize to all those who I've wronged in the past couple of weeks. I haven't been very thoughtful in being so selfish and pessimistic.

Take time to SMELL THE ROSES! ...haha to Rebecca who takes this phrase literally and replies, "It's cold outside, there are no flowers!" Exactly our point, Rebecca. <3 you.

Never forget to tell your family how much you love them. Truthfully. Sometimes you don't realize how much you love them. For their benefit, and yours as well, showthem how much you love them!

Enjoy the brisk winter while it lasts! (I hope you sense the heavy sarcasm)...it won't be really winter until about March anyways!
