Day 5 and 6

Regret and Calculations

Okay guys, I'm sorry to not have updated yesterday. I had an absolutely KILLER migraine and had to just get to bed before I could post an entry. So you get two doses of thought tonight.

Day 5: What would you regret not fully doing, being, or having in your life?

The capacity to love and be loved. If I never marry, I will regret it. If I never have kids or friends who are like family to me, I will regret it. To me, having love in life is the most rewarding thing one can ever have. People who love you are the biggest blessing in the world. And the ability to love others is astounding. And then there's always God's love. That has to be the one thing I would regret not having in my life.

Day 4

Living vs. Existing

Question for Day 4: What is the difference between living and existing?

First, I want to take a look at the literal definitions for each. The definition of living is acting or thriving (among other things of course, but I picked the definition that really spoke out to me!). The definition of existance is to have actual being.

There is such a difference between these two definitions, although each did have similarities between them. The main difference is in living. Although one explanation of living is to exist, the definition I chose is very significant. (Randomly terrible paragraph...)

Day 2 and 3

Lenten Sacrifices and Devotion/Happiness

Since I had some issues yesterday and couldn't post my thoughts for the day, so today I am going to play catch-up. I have two topics as seen above. They're probably going to be a tad short today but anyways. . . Let's get started!

Lenten sacrifices. I honestly believe people dont' take this seriously anymore. I'll be honest, in the past, I didn't either. But this year I'm trying really hard to make a difference. Somebody (i'm being dead serious here) was debating over whether or not to give up their straightener. Talk about sacrifice! (obvious sarcasm!) The purpose of Lent isn't to give up something trivial. It's to find a deeper wealth of love for our God.

Lenten Reflection Day 1

Being Nice

Let me explain something first. One of my Lenten promises to myself is to post a reflection entry every day until Lent is over. Instead of giving up something to better myself (which I already am through a different goal) I also intend to better myself through daily reflection, thought, and prayer. Each day I will have a question which I will talk about my feelings on. So let's get this started!

Day 1: What is the nicest thing you remember ever doing for someone. What is the nicest thing you will do for someone this week?

Getting pretty tired. . .

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

Quote credit to William Shakespeare. This is my philosophy on life. It's how I try to live my life on a daily basis and overall it has led me to be a happier person. It really and truly has. So this post is based off of this quote and something that happened to me today and how I feel right now. I'm going to start at the end of the quote and work my way backwards.

Do wrong to none. Wow. That's a universal truth right there! And I really try to live by this. I probably fail but I do try. I really really do! What hurts me more than anything is when people do wrong to others. Blatantly wrong and hurtful and especailly in the eyes of the world. It hurts me more than any slap in the face every could. I feel so hurt and injured right now becaus I've been done wrong to in this way and the next paragraph will explain more about why this pain is so severe.

My Life As A Movie Soundtrack

What I Got

So I stole this off a note from Jesse Kindred :) and I absolutely had to do it. Hope you enjoy!

1) Open your music library. (MediaPlayer, iTunes, etc.)

2) Put your entire library on shuffle.
3) For each scene in the movie of your life, put the song title that plays every time you skip to the next track, no matter how fitting or unfitting it may seem.
4) For the end credits use three songs; While you're at it, pick one of those as the title of your movie.

Oh my goodness!!!!

Eeeeepppp!!!!!!!!

So I am incredibly INCREDIBLY BEYOND SUPER HAPPY RIGHT NOW!!!!!! And I don't quite want to blog about my reason yet but eventually I will :) Anyways, I am going to share quotes about happiness though! Please enjoy!

"Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life, the whole aim and end of human existence" -Aristotle
