Oh, What a Beautiful Morning!

Dear Readers,

That title stems mainly from me not using a song for a title in awhile. I've just been thinking today how wonderful the world our Father created continues to be. He gave us wonderful friends, he gave us brilliant weather and he also gave us our precious little moments we experience everyday. Let me expound upon what I mean:

Earlier this week, as I sat on the balcony of our apartment building, my roommate was walking up to the door when he saw a hummingbird. He got so excited as he ran after it, whipping out his camera as he went. Just the look of sheer joy was a great moment worth having this week.

Just yesterday I had the pleasure of talking with an old aquaintance for a few minutes as I was out riding my bike. She and I talked about what we were doing before she had to get to work. Running into friendly people is very enjoyable.

What's better is hanging out with old friends. Yesterday I saw three people I have not seen for at least two weeks. Doesn't sound like long, right? Well, it was worth it to see them again and party with candy and a pinatta. We played games and had a blast as friends. Just those moments make life great.

One of the best of these little moments is sitting in front of a house with your best friend without a care in the world. You can talk, you can laugh, you can sing or you can just sit there and wonder what you should do next. :)

These moments are what make life wonderful. Enjoy this earth that the Lord has created and placed us on. He loves us all. :)

Am I Proud to Be an American?

This weekend is the 4th of July, or Independence Day in the United States of America. One of my favorite songs during this time of celebrating the country is "God Bless the USA." The words paint a detailed picture of the beauty of the United States, both in a physical and emotional aspect. Our country is often depicted in a majestic manner such as this, making it seem like the greatest in the world and we often hear those bold words, "I'm proud to be an American."  With all of the issues that have been cropping up over the past couple of years such as impeachment, systemic racism, foreign intervention, and most significantly the COVID-19 pandemic, I have reflected deeply about what we celebrate with the 4th of July. These issues are just a few of the many that have made me wonder about the country we praise so proudly.  Am I really proud to be an American?  Thomas Jefferson wrote the candid words of the Declaration of Independence, which were th...

I like Happiness

Dear Readers, Happiness is great, don't you agree? Just the other night, it was a very frustrating and confusing night out with the Ensemble yet again, but I came back to my friend's house to hang out and just decided that being happy was more important than giving in to my gossiping desires. The rest of the night was just brilliant after I decided that. This morning was another example: I woke up late and was again frustrated. What did I do? I went to school and decided to be happy. The rest of the day went great! Be Happy! :D

When You Wish Upon a Star

Dear Reader, One short day in the [Segovia] City! It is a beautiful city, to be sure. As part of our study abroad program in Spain, our group takes various trips to different cities here in Spain to see museums, palaces and history from several different eras of humanity. Today it was a pleasure to travel to Segovia. We had several adventures while we were there. First off, we stopped off at the Palacio de la Granja (Palace of the Farm). It was an attempt to replicate the Palace of Versailles in France back in the 18th century. We weren't able to enter the palace itself, but we spent about an hour walking around the numerous gardens on the south side of the palace. The palace gardens awesome. The pictures taken here don't do it justice. The gardens stretched father than you can see and the statues were absolutely beautiful. They were representations of hunting on the grounds with dogs, Greek Gods, and other famous figures from the middle ages. However, despit...
