Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!  Honestly, I am really not a big fan of Thanksgiving...  I prefer Christmas, I think.  But, no problem, I will take the much needed vacation!  :)  OH, that doesn't mean that I am not thankful... I am thankful for many things! 

LOVE TO ALL!

I need a book that tells me how to be nice to mean people.  Actually, it's not the being nice part that's hard...it's the not letting their meanness get to me.  Today there was a girl at school who was sooooooooo rude to me...and I have no idea why.  I didn't do anything to her.  So, her mean words have been stuck inside me all day and I feel like crap!  Why let somebody like that get to me??  I don't know... 

***happy thoughts please***

"If we're really honest with ourselves, there are probably times when we think, "What possible use can I be in this world?  What need is there for somebody like me to fill?"  That's one of the deeper mysteries.  Then God's grace comes to us in the form of another person who tells us we have been of help, and what a blessing that is."

rain, rain, rain.

That is all it is doing around here.  But, this is the perfect weekend for it!!!!  I don't have any homework to worry about and I don't really know what to do with myself.  To think that I am totally free to do what I want, it's great.  Most of this summer I have had to feel guilty any time I have a good time, b/c I probably should have been working on a  project or studying.  BUT NOT TODAY!  I am going to relax and listen to the rain.  Boring, you think?  NOPE!  I am going to live it up.  Cheers to a lazy day...
