The beautiful flowers and the wonderful scent that they bring. The bright, newly sprouted leaves on each tree. You know that new car smell? That's spring, bit in a awesome perfume scent that wallows in your system each day. You can't get rid of it either because it's to intoxicating. That my dear friends, is the greatest season of the year.

As much as I love spring and how wonderful it is, it brings about something that my system completely despises. Allergies. Just the word itself looks scary, but what it does is even scarier. Millions of people across the world are going through what I'm experiencing right now which is watery eyes, sneezing, congestion, and the urge to eat a piece of cake. It seems as if every time I feel some sort of relief after I sneeze, the tingling feeling makes its way back into my nostrils at which point I contort my face once again getting ready to lay all hands on deck. Allergy sufferer's, know that you aren't the only one going through this nonsense and absolute terrible face contortions. 

We can get through this.

I actually got to play tennis again. I'm not to sure how to explain how amazing and breathless (literally and figuratively) it was. After not playing for a couple of months, I'm hitting pretty well. It also has me really thinking about renewing my membership to the gym. Apparently my body has forgotten how awesome it feels to run and to work out. We'll just see about that. Oh and I just wanted to remind you guys...

Seek the Lord in prayer for guidance and direction. Don't force anything. Allow God to open and shut the doors of opportunity. Your part is simply to obey. If He has planted this idea in your heart and is behind what you're doing, He is obligated by his own character to see it through. Remember this: God is responsible for all the consequences of your obedience. You are responsible for all the consequences of your disobedience. ~ Charles Stanley

Wow.

That's exactly how it went. It was TOMS One Day Without Shoes and it went rather flawlessly besides a mysterious cut that I got on my toe and a blister. I walked more than three miles and people stared at me like I was some type of alien since I wasn't wearing any shoes (even though I was wearing a T-Shirt that was explaining the cause). A couple people did ask me why I wasn't wearing any shoes and I gladly told them why. They furrowed their brows and raised them, but agreed it was worthy of being shoe less. So onward I walked with a smile on my face and dirty feet.
Picture
That was the only picture I managed to take while I was walking. My feet look pretty awesome from this position, if I do say so myself. 

After walking a full day barefoot, I realized that these children that don't own any pairs of shoes, have to do that everyday. They don't get just one cut and one blister each day. They probably get them countlessly and many are even infected by diseases. It makes my stomach churn just thinking about it. I wish I could help each and every one of them. However, with all of our help, each act of random kindness can make a huge difference in this world. May God give us sincerity and love for others.

Other than yesterday, my week has been pretty bland. I feel like I'm dying from allergies and I've lost the remote about four times which is pretty depressing. It's also going to rain tomorrow which means I won't be in the mood for doing absolutely anything, which also leads to me not doing homework, which means I'll probably fall behind. Blah. I don't understand what it is about rain that just makes me want to sleep and drink hot coco all day. Time for me to do some homework right now and completely pass out on my econ book for old times sake.

It started with a couple of sniffles, and now it's turned into a full blown sneezing coughing aching rampage. I haven't been sick in over two months now. That is an all time record and I thought I was actually doing pretty well. How did I even get sick in the first place? I have no idea. 
Alright so earlier this morning I decided to make a video about the upcoming Tuesday. Yes, my facial expression looks rather weird but just press play and it will go away. Watch it please and listen to my info. Sweet. Thanks and have a great day. I am now going back to sleep.

Experience is something that not many people talk about to often. However, it is a rather important part of our lives. It controls many different types of aspects that we wouldn't be able to live without. For example, our jobs. Maybe you're an architect which involves having a mathematical background. As you might know, you can't just become an architect without at least knowing basic Algebra and then working your way up from there. You had to have gone to school and then done more schooling for a certain amount of years. You have to have experience. Life sort of works the same way. You go through life and a lot of bad things happen. You get upset, disappointed, angry, annoyed, and who knows what other emotion. You might have done something that you regret. You might have done a lot of things that you regret, and your stomach just turns when you think about those things. I know mine definitely does. That is called experience my dear friends. Those regrets teach you the difference between right and wrong so while life goes on, you're prepared to be a better you. You get stronger through every new experience, but that's only as long as we learn from it. If we don't learn from our mistakes, then we have no experience to learn from so we keep going through life the same way which creates even more problems. Learn from every different experience and mistake. Use it to your advantage to realize that you can be better than that. People might try and push you down for your past, but this is now. This is what counts, right now, right here in this moment. Every moment is a new experience. 

What brought this about? That is a very good question. I'm not to sure how to answer though. I don't even think it should be answered. Some questions are better left unanswered. You guys can figure out for yourselves though and tell me what you find out. Put some thought into it though!

Alright so I didn't get to update very well last night. The play, as you might have read, was a success. The drama crew did awesome and I'm very proud of them. There were indeed a couple of slip-ups so I think their nerves got to them, but they'll probably do much better tonight. I'm also far from as nervous as I was yesterday. I can actually breathe. And stand. Other than that, today seems to be a pretty awesome day. I thank the Lord for that. Remember what I said though and learn something from every experience. Try not to dwell to much on any bad ones. Each moment you waste unhappy, is a minute of happiness you will never get back. Here's a quote to get you going...

I think we all wish we could erase some dark times in our lives. But all of life's experiences, bad and good, make you who you are. Erasing any of life's experiences would be a great mistake. - Luis Miguel quotes

With happiness,
