human

Well I went to the post office today and saw an old man. I was getting some stamps because while my mom had given me one for the letter I sent out I wanted some of my own for later use. I began to talk to this old man and well I asked if he had a good Christmas and he said, "well I'm glad it's over." Wow how absolutely sad is that?? I shook it off as one should and he referenced how he was sick of packages and I understood what he meant, but the thought of such a special time of the year being something people just want to get over with really did sadden me greatly. It's not the first time I've heard it either but the other people were business people that I just assumed liked Christmas to be over because they didn't get it. Though I know that was wrong on my part it helped it not bother me so. This old guy though really got to me. I guess it's because I know he grew up in a time when church was more valued so I assumed he would place more value on Christmas. I guess not though. I must admit getting older making Christmas special has become kind of a project for me attempting to not get over indulged into the commercialism and all that jazz but I must admit I can successfully do so. Even if you do get caught up in it a time of family and of giving seems like it should be a happy time. I guess that even if you don't have family and aren’t religious I would hope that maybe the spirit of Christmas would help. It's just sad to hear that people are "glad that it's over". It's so funny though that while that was so sad it was nice to just treat him as a person and talk with him while I wrote my check than to just stand there like so many others were doing. It really is amazing how much treating others with kindness of opening a door or talking to them just acknowledging that they are human makes the world seem a better place. I pray that I do that more often and then pray for the people I come in contact with. Just little short prayers will do but really who couldn't use a prayer or two for them.

Day of Planning

Well so this doesn't need to be hidden so I don't know why I don't post it somewhere more public maybe it's because I am just more comfortable here. Who knows? Anyway. I have been planning all morning so far. First I planned out ACC stuff and when that didn't exactly work out like I wanted to (I have to finish registering two days from now on the last day possible so I hope the classes I want are still open Sigh...) I think I have ACU stuff planned out but I need to plan out when to take my ACT and how to study for it. Not exciting. Then I need to plan some organization to my room and to take some stuff to goodwill or some other donation place. Then I need to plan out where to volunteer. I really have very little clue how to go about this at the moment but I'm sure God will help He always does. Then I can plan out which book to start, and that my friend is enough planning for a good while.

I got dressed up today thinking I should look more professional but alas it did no good due to me not being able to get everything done. Oh well it's fun to look nice anyway. I think I'll go get coffee later and sit and read some place out of the house. Scooters I think. I like that place it's coffee is amazing and much much closer than Mozart’s. Those would be my favorite coffee places in case you couldn't tell. I'm rather happy to be back with them and all the fun stores that are here and just the amount of people that are here is also good. I like the city.

So my dog started barking so I went down stairs and it was such a God thing I saw the piano and just felt like playing so I played some of the stuff I always play thinking a little bit. Then I started singing one of my childhood favorite Hymns. Then I got out the hymnal and just praised God with what little music ability I have. Oh that was so fun. Worship is just so amazing and it's awing to think that it's still just so wonderful in my house all alone just God and me. YAY for wonderful opportunities to Praise God with literally every breath.

Well So Mommy wants to take me out to Mexican so I'll possibly post more later Chow
