Joyous: My Life is Complete

My Life is Complete

Positive thinking
Reading my Bible instead of fbing
Getting off work early
Acing my psych quiz
Beating Jeremy in accounting
Cheerful day at work
Pasta for lunch
Time with friends
Turning in papers that I feel confident about
Coming back to a clean room - my roommate is awesome!
Devouring homemade cookies
Listening to birds sing
Short weather
Watching my energetic fishy
Playing some lovely iTunes
Inhaling the smell of hot apple pie from my tart burner
Inspiration to write
A joyful heart
Eyes for thankfulness
Love of color
Spring break in one week with the two loves of my life: my-Rissa and Bradward :)
Promises!

The sky isn't even a bright blue and today has still been perfect!

Wait, I take that back. The clouds have vanished and the sun is shining its marvelous brightness on my joyous face!

Thoughts of the Seasons

Majestic rolling mountains, Serene blue skies, Glistening grass blowing in the breeze, Warming sunshine, Delicate petals of beauty, Deep shadowed meadows, Powerful infinite waves, Chipper red robins, Fluffy white clouds, Torrential raindrops, Croaking bullfrogs, Soaring, swift fowls, Sweet blossoming fruit trees, Frightening midnight thunderstorms, Mighty raging brook, Towering limbs above, Monstrous, fallen boulders, Sly, slitherin snakes, Ripening wild huckleberries, Twinkling stars reflected in lake, Mustangs gallivanting in fields, Dawning spectacular sunrises. This is my definition of summer!

The color of the changing trees, the rustling of the dead leaves in the trees, a brook running dry, the sweet aroma of a pumpkin crisping in the oven, the sound of laughter coming from my aunts baking and preparing the Thanksgiving meal in the kitchen, sneaking egg nog (shhh... don't tell anyone) in the morning, my cousins screaming in sheer excitement, staying up til 1 a.m. playing Apples to Apples or Monopoly, hearing water go through the walls of my Uncle and Aunt's house every time someone flushes a toilet or takes a shower somewhere in the house, eating mashed potatoes, asparagus and noodles, salad, and bread for dinner, glass after glass of sparkling apple cider, and loading up on six slices of pie for dessert!, observing the annual Thanksgiving race from my cousins bedroom window cheering the runners on, remembering getting in trouble with the police in years past, watching that annual movie in the basement with me and my 5 cousins and sibling on the floor with the adults crowded on the two couches!, swinging on the swing-set out back, staying up late talking with my cousin, going to a park and playing baseball as a family of 15!, the hope of snow, and just plain spending timetogether! It's all so memorable to me, and I can honestly say that I enjoy every moment of it! It's my absolute most favorite time of the year! WONDERFUL would sum it all up into one word!Perfect could be another!

Thrills of Winter: Our pink bells, gingerbread men, 3 nativity sets (one of which was in Dad’s family when he was a boy), lights strung across the mantle, the little miniature town on the piano, our advent tree, stockings hanging over the fire, Christmas blankets and pillows on the couch, the table adorned in proper attire, light-balls in the windows, lights around the front door and the front post, the prospect of opening gifts, the smell of cinnamon, a Christmas tree all decked out with our traditional and memorable ornaments with presents all around, wondering what you could have possibly gotten, the hope of a white Christmas, the coming of a New Year, resolutions, the questions of what to get so and so, sledding down the hills, having our dog pulls us around on sleds, throwing snowballs at one another till your soaked and freezing, the playing of your favorite Christmas CD, caroling through the cold weather, suffering through bitter cold breezes, wearing fuzzy socks, and the festive greetings of cards from family and friends!
