Volunteer

    Sorry for being inactive! So much to do, so little time. So instead of trying to post every day, I'll try for once a week, or just whenever I can. No need to put on the extra pressure. Anyhow, on with today's post!
    Volunteering! There's nothing like a get together with people from your community to do some awesome work. Doing things like community service and helping clean up around the area or even gardening is great. Well, the reason I made volunteering this weeks post is because earlier today, I signed up to volunteer at the local community theater. As an art student, I'll be able to get in a lot of experience helping around, with things such as prop preparations, costume design and much more! I was asked to help usher this weekend for a play; I can't wait! It'll be a fun first time. On my way home afterwards, as I was driving passed the church, the message board read, "Volunteers are wingless angels," and it's a great feeling.
    Life will give you opportunities to do what it is you want to do in life. When those opportunities come knocking on your door or if you're inspired to do something, answer the door, do something about that idea, cause you never know if that one opportunity will lead you to another door for you to enter.

Happy Go Lucky

    Alright, so some of you are wondering why I don't post every day. Why? Cause I'm a human being who needs to get homework done and also be well rested for school the next day. So on my school days, much like today, I'll most likely be posting about the previous day (since I'm too busy catching Z's the previous night). Anyhow, on to today's/yesterdays entry!

    What does it mean to be Happy go lucky? Does it mean that if you're a happy person you'll end up being lucky in life? Not entirely. It means to be a carefree, cheerful, positive person who looks on the bright side of things, and or someone who gets high from just plain living. Yeah, that pretty much describes who I am. But yesterday, was literally a happy go lucky day.
    In my Art History class, each week we are to bring in a type of art work as an example of what it is as homework. If we were to bring in an example of a painting, we'd bring in water color, oil or an acrylic painting. Well, I wasn't sure if we had to bring anything to class, so I didn't take anything with me. Somehow it slipped by me that we were suppose to bring an example of Arts and Crafts, a work of art that is hand crafted. In my previous post, remember how I said I finished knitting my scarf? I was wearing it all day at school. When I presented in class, I was honest with my classmates and said I wasn't sure if we had to bring in anything, but somehow luck was on my side and I did bring my homework unknowingly! It was around my neck the whole time.
    Be happy, cause it's Lady Lucks calling card! When she decides to come and drop you a visit, give her a smile and a thank you, cause you know you're going to want her to visit you again real soon.

A Meaningful Scarf

    Good evening peoples! My apologies for not posting anything yesterday. When you're busy all day long you get tired and fall asleep the moment you get home. I ate lunch and saw the movie Carrie with my cousin, shopped for an hour, watched Ghost Adventures with my dad for 3 hours, then a glorious moment happened...

        I finished knitting my scarf!!!

    Every night before I go to bed, for fifteen minutes in quietness, I would knit several rows while thinking about my day, about tomorrow, the past, and the future. I would think about anything that needed to be thought about, especially if it made me happy. They say that when you spend time thinking in quietness, when you're meditating, you're training or developing your intuition senses. When I knit, I like to call those fifteen minutes, my meditation time. During this time, I like to think that with every stitch I make, I am putting a single thought that I think into it. Looking at it like that, will keep me even warmer during the winter this year. That's a very thoughtful scarf. Now that I'm done with it, I'll be starting another one! This one that I finished is green and white, the next one will probably be blue and white. I wonder who I'll give it to.

A Friendly Halloween Visit

    Hi all! Hope everyone had a nice Halloween this year. I know I did. From carving pumpkins in class at 8 in the morning, then having dinner and watching a costume contest at the casino with my grandmother, later handing out candy with my mom, to seeing some old friends after an entire year and talking non-stop till midnight. Yup, it was a long, eventful and wonderful day.

    You know, when you make a close friend after a long time of hanging out together and just being the best of buds, then they suddenly decide they no longer want be friends with you for a reason that keeps you baffled; just because they push you out of their life doesn't mean they can push you out of their families life. The old friends I saw the other night, was my old friend Jam's family. Im a little surprised it took me a year just to drop by and say hi to all of them. They were really happy to see me. For over an hour we talked about how they're all doing and how Jam's been since she moved out of state for schooling. I have too say, I was speechless after hearing all that she's managed to accomplish and achieve since we stopped talking. Even though we're not friends anymore, I still wish for all her hopes and dreams too come true. I want her to know how very proud I am of her.

    Once a friend, always a friend. Forgive and forget. When everyone's against you, there's always going to be that one person who's with you, even if you don't think so, could even be the most unlikely person.
