Grapefruit

I bought 7 grapefruit, and sugar.

I offered him one, I cut it up for him too.

He didn't know how to eat it, so I taught him.

He said I'm the best sister ever.
Score.

Today was a ten. I woke up, and decided right then and there, that today was going to be a great day. What do you know... it actually was!

-I went to class with Kenzee, took notes, success.
-I ate lunch, then drove Lauren and I to bowling. (I got to drive.. I love my car)
-I ended up bowling a 118... highest score I have ever gotten!
-We got back and it started to snow!
-I called and talked to my mom, it was so nice.
-Practiced my whistling. (I'm getting so much closer to my New Years resolution.)
-I went to a review session a week early..(Haha) but Mike gave us a ride home.
-Jen made soup, and shared with me :)
-I took a chance, and emailed about a photography internship that Mike told me about.
-I got a text from an old friend, and we might even do something.
-Lauren and I watched Peter Pan.
-I felt good about myself.

No matter what happened today, I was able to find something good in ever situation. I was able to look past the bad, and find the good! It was absolutely incredible!
Mind over matter. That is what I learned today!

Gratitude.

It was a frustrating day, and she could tell. After I had left to go help my brother she texted me and asked if I wanted to go to Walmart with her to get something special. I agreed.

We left shortly. We walked around, talked, and finally found the soft sugar cookies with the pink icing. It was quiet driving home. We spoke a little, but everything that was said was special. I almost cried. I won't forget what I felt. She's the best friend I've ever had.

For her.

She's the one who's 115 miles away, and always there.

We're there for each other.

That's what sisters do.

Hold up.

Yesterday I wanted to vent...
I was fed up with love, and trying to find it.
Fed up with every male living thing on the planet.
I was getting frustrated with some of my friends.
I felt as though I had no friends.
Any movie or song with a slight romance made me want to scream.
I just missed being cared for, holding someone's hand, and being close to them, etc.
It seemed that I would never go out on a date again.
I had lost all hope.

Instead I posted pictures and called it good.

Today I realized...
That maybe I won't find love soon, but it will come.
I'm grateful for the male species, really.
I truly have some amazing friends,
and though they are few in number, that doesn't matter,
what matters is that they make up for the low number by being great
and making me want to be better.
As for the rest on the list.. Everything is in the Lords time.
I just need to take a step back, breathe, and keep perspective.
Realize that I have so much to be grateful for.
I have a glimpse of hope, and it'll continue to grow back slowly.
