Good Morning World!

Goodmorning world!

I'm ready for the challenge today! I feel like my heart is an open window that is drinking in the beautiful sunlight that we call life. Not everyday can be full of pleasure, but my heart is ready to start filtering out all the dust and sand to be left with the beautiful pearl.

I want to become somebody that enjoys those small moments. Someone who can be known for their happy personality and constant strength. I am so blessed to still have my wonderful gift. I need to enjoy each day as it comes.

Stargirl's Time Poem

Who Came up with minutes, anyway?

Who needs them?

Name one good thing a minute's ever done.

They shorten fun and measure misery.

Get rid of them, I say.

Down with minutes!

And while you're at it-take hours

with you too. Don't get me started

on them.

Clocks that's the problem.
Every clock is a nest of minutes and hours.

Cocks strap us into their shape.

Instead of headingfor the nearest star, all we do

is corkscrew.

Clocks lock us into minutes, make Ferris wheel

riders of us all, lug us round and round

from number to number,
dice the time of our lives into tiny bitsuntil the bits are all we know

and the only question we care to ask is

"What time is it?"

Self Confidence

Self-Confidence-realistic confidence in one's own judgment, ability, power, etc.

Realistic, is that the key word we should be focusing on here? No! Not one little bit. Realistic tells us to be confident with only what we know we can achieve. But who says we can't build confidence and grow in bravery and self contentment to a level that once seemed completely unrealistic and impossible? If we slowly add building blocks to the wall of our confidece, we will eventually be able to have realistic confidence and completely fulfil what we thought was impossible!!

Being strong and brave with yourself is hard. Take time to spend a little bit of money on yourself or to spend a bit of extra time with some of the peope that make you feel important or special. Especially regarding a relationship. Being brave and confident in your own abilities and your own self will be a huge help when you join together in a relationship with somebody. If they ever ditch you or need to take some time alone, you will need to learn to rely on yourself for all of the support that you would have received from them. Don't forget the tiny and peaceful voice that speaks to us in the stillness of the night. God wants to help you strengthen yourself and your confidence level. He wants to be he other person that you turn to when you need some time with a friend that will lawyas be there for you. :)

Character Inspiration: Stargirl

After recently reading this novel, I was very inspired. The protagonist of this story, Stargirl, was not a very popular teen. She dressed the way she wanted to and she sang with her ukelele at lunch. She brought along a table cloth and a flower vase to decorate her school desk with, and she passed out treats to all of the students in her homeroom. She was gentle and peaceful and she never wanted to hurt anybody. So why did the student body shun her and ignore her? They did this because she refused to conform and she wasn't afraid to be herself. I remind myself of Stargirl in some ways... I cheer for other teams and I dress the way I want to. I am hoping that after being inspired by this amazing character I will be able to take my admiration for this attitude into greater consideration and start to show a more relaxed and enjoyable side of myself.

My Love

Oh, my love, my darling,
I've hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine I need your love, I need your love
God speed your love to me
Lonely rivers flow to the sea, to the sea
To the open arms of the sea
Lonely rivers sigh, wait for me, wait for me
I'll be coming home, wait for me
Oh, my love, my darling
I've hungered, hungered for your touch a long, lonely time
And time goes by so slowly and time can do so much
Are you still mine I need your love, I, I need your love
God speed your love to me
