EXAMPLE--

I held my puppy, Rita in the palm of my hand. I could not believe that something so small could bring me such happiness. I wanted to protect her, love her, and teach her to do tricks. Her big brown eyes seemed to see right through me. I knew that we had become fast and lifelong friends.

I remember I had been riding my bike around town for a little while and decided to stop at the park to get a drink from the drinking fountain. It was in the middle of the day and the park was empty, and for some reason I looked up into the sky. I saw a single bird soaring through this beautiful sky, and It has become one of my favorite memories. I can remember it vividly even though it happened over 15 years ago.

My telephone still has a cord. I like this telephone better than a wireless or a mobile telephone, because it doesn't heat up against my face after I’ve used it for an hour. It does, however, make multitasking a lot harder. Like today when my best friend called, for example. I was in the middle of making lunch. I had to pick up the base and carry it into the kitchen with me. Then I had to juggle it and the food I was preparing. If only I could find a happy medium between freedom and comfort.

My granddaughter Lyla, who just turned 1, was climbing up my lazy-boy chair to get into my lap this evening. I grabbed my phone and snapped a picture and caught her smiling. I think she was smiling because she thought she was being sneaky as she climbed into my lap. She hasn't quite figured out that I can feel her climbing up my leg, so I pretend to be surprised and she laughs.

My sister and I were able to spend time together. She just returned home from her mission, and since then we have been talking about life so much. We hang out a lot, and run together. Just barely we were talking about her mission, and how amazing it was for her.

I remember so clearly the first time my little girls smiled at me. I was watching my little brother play in his football game and it was a really cold night. So my baby was bundled up in her car seat. She started cooing so I lifted up the blanket that was covering her, she looked at me and smiled the biggest most amazing smile. That day has left a lasting impression on my mind.



At work today i had to sort the books to put them back on the self. It took forever, and there was no end in sight!! Working at the library has its pros and cons but the image below still makes me shake in terror because I know that tomorrow will be another day..... but at least I have my music!!

The first "rock concert" I went to was that of a band called Thrice. I will never forget how amazed I was with the entire band, but especially their lead guitarist, Teppei Teranashi. His playing skills were phenomenal, and his on stage acrobatics were even more awe inspiring. I've loved the band and their style of music ever since.

Last year I was able to visit my best friend from my childhood. We had not seen each other in 18 years yet we were able to just pick up as if we hadn't spent a day apart. We spent a whole week together catching up and hanging out...we had a blast!
