A Time to be Thankful

Thanksgiving just passed so I thought I would take the time to make a list of all the things I am thankful to have.

• Family
• Friends
• Life
• A home
• Food to eat
• Clothes to wear
• Material possessions
  
• Water
• Music
• A smile

There is soooo much more but those are just the basic things. I wouldn't be here without my friends and family. They mean so much to me and I sure hope they know that. I am thankful to be alive. I love my life so much, and I thank God for it every day. There are some people who left this earth too soon, and I am grateful to wake up every day. So many people around the world have nothing to eat and go hungry. I am grateful that I have enough to eat until I am satisfied. I am grateful to have a roof over my head, for many people spend the night in the cold snow. I have a warm bed and a safe place to stay. That means a lot to me. Music is my escape, and many people do not have the music or the possessions required to be able to listen to music. Not only do I have things that allow me to listen to music, I have materials that help me create it. I am grateful for my smile. It cheers me up to smile and I hope it cheers others up as well. I am so, so, so blessed. Thank you to everyone in my life, and especially God. Without His help, I would not be here today, and I would not recognize all the things I am blessed with.

Also, I am grateful for this song :p

I'm a Puzzle.

Lately I think of my life as a puzzle. A few weeks ago, I was missing many of the pieces to my puzzle and I could not get the pieces I did have to fit together. I became so frustrated with my puzzle that I tried to throw it away. My family noticed this, and they offered me help. Slowly, we found all the pieces and put my puzzle back together again. It took a lot of patience, faith, and hard work but we got it done. This gave me the opportunity to start a new puzzle. Now, instead of getting frustrated, I use my resources-friends, family, and God to help me. I use skills I have learned to look at all the pieces, separate the ones I can use now and the ones and I can't, and I use them to my advantage. I want to finish the puzzles I start. I want my life to be filled with hundreds of puzzles that when put all together, display a beautiful picture. One that will portray a feeling of happiness and success. I love my puzzle even though sometimes I can't find all the pieces. I don't want to give up. I want to be able to say proudly, that I finished my puzzle.

-Today is a good day because I choose it to be one.

Just Leave The Pieces When You Go

OH MY GOSH. What an emotional couple of months.


For those of you who knew about my school situation, I am officially caught up. So Jordan, come and see me. Garrett, you can text me :p I promise I will text back. Erika, we can play more. Lindsay.... Well Lindsay forgets about me sometimes I think. So I will just skip that one :p


I am really falling in love with guitar. Lately I feel like it is the only way to describe myself and express my feelings. As lame and cliche as that sounds, it is completely true. When I play, I lose myself. All my problems and stresses disappear for a bit. And it's amazing to me how many beautiful sounds can be created by just 6 strings. I really love piano but I could never really get attached to it. When I started to play guitar, I immediately fell in love. It's almost all I can think about. I feel like I am getting better too which makes me want to practice even more. The most exciting part of all of this, is that I got asked to do a show! I didn't do it, but it did inspire me to get to the point where I am comfortable enough to do a show. I took my first step towards that today and played for my class. To my surprise, I got 100 out 100 on my song. Seeing my score made me feel SO happy.


Speaking of love, I am overwhelmed with it. For some many people and so many things. I'm almost falling apart. I feel like I am getting a grip on life though. Wish me luck on... life? Please and thank you. I love you all!

P.S. Sorry (especially to you Garrett) for not writing for a million years.

Just For Garett

Rejuvenation :]

I'm done with my past

All I got in front of me is my future
and the slate is spot free.
I feel so much better.

I don't want to look back anymore,
only focus on the present
and the future.

I just want to tell my friends and family that they don't need to worry anymore
I did a 360
and I'm a
completely
different
person.

I Love You Guys.

My mama. I love her more than anything in this world. I can not even comprehend how much she means to me. I would do anything for her and I know she would do anything for me. I honestly have no idea what I would do without her. I thank God for my mama every single day of my life.

Dallin. If anyone could make me a better person, you could. You have taught me so much and you are so good to me. I'm not sure how I got so lucky to have a big brother like you.

Brent James Hill. Thank you making me believe in love. You changed my life forever. Also, thanks for not backing out even though sometimes I act like a crazy person.

Garett. I have so much to thank you for. You are one of the most amazing people I have ever met, everrrr. Thanks for always having my back.

Jordan Lee. The definition of "The Perfect Best Friend." I love her so much and I sure hope she knows that. I'll always be there for ya, sister :p

Kennedy Maria Pett. I'm for real when I say I will always be best friends with this girl. I would be lost without her.

Jadie. There is not a doubt in my mind that without her, I wouldn't be here today. I love her so much.
Even though she is a bully. :]

Erika Elise. I depend on her more than she knows. I also care about her and look up to her more than she knows. I love her to deathhhh.

Lindsay. The best sister in the whole world. She's almost like a mother to me.










Dane. I wouldn't have wanted anyone else to marry my sister. He's amazing. I don't think I've ever met anyone so real in my whole life. Not to mention he's extremely funny. The real kind of funny that makes more then just himself laugh.

Grr

Is there anything that you hate so much that you can't even stand to think about it? And the sight of it makes you want to puke while giving birth to an elephant? Maybe you don't like a certain food, or a certain person. But I guarantee you, those feelings you feel when you think or see that certain thing don't even come close to what I feel when I think about PLEASANT GROVE HIGH SCHOOL. I have never hated anything so much in my life. I would rather rip out my own intestines and wear them as a belt all while eating a stick of butter and chewing on my foot then go to another day of that school. I'm willing to risk my entire future and drop out (I'm not going to) but I would sure be happier. Wish me luck, I still have the rest of this year and next year.
