I'm Back!

My Life Update

     Did you miss me? I missed you! I'm glad to be back. I was in Florida for 4 weeks! I spent my time watching Hallmark, swimming, collecting sea shells (a hobby I indulge in every chance I get) hanging out with the fam, and playing disc golf. My brothers and I made many memories and shared many adventures. To start this is the farthest I have ever traveled without an adult or parent, I mean my oldest brother, Thunder, is 18 but I'm not counting him. That trip was a major highlight in 2017. My favorite parts were reconnecting with family that I hardly get to see and the beach. I love the beach! I don't even care how basic it is to say so. I read once (in a book titled "Pictures of Hollis Woods") that there are salt water people and fresh water people. I am most certain that I am a salt water person, for there are very few places where I feel truly relaxed, secure, and in a way... home.  I love the touch of the wiggling waves, the salty smell in the air, and the sight of brilliant blue water stretching on and on and on.


     Since I have been back, my life has become tolerably mundane, although I started watching 'Downton Abbey' which is cool. As I slip into the well know routine of the school semester, I stay up as late as I can and sleep in as long as I can. I do school and try to play my piano, write, or paint something. I think it is important to make time for such thinks in order to improve upon the things you enjoy doing. I also try to go for a walk or bike ride to stay a little active.


     Because I am very open about my love for writing, you may be wondering why it has taken me so long to start my blog up this year. The truth is quite lame. I was given an assignment to write a thought paper for my American History class at co-op (which is basically a school for homeschoolers) because I was procrastinating, every time I went to write something fun I felt guilty for not writing my history paper. I finished it obviously. I nervously turned it in Friday, with fingers crossed. It being my first time writing anything like it, I am still worried about it today. I should know by Friday how I did.

     So just a recap, I miss vacation.
     

NEW YEAR PLANS

     I'm not a huge fan of new year resolutions, mostly because I'm like you had had no reason why you couldn't do that last year. Sometimes I feel like people try to be someone else just because its the beginning of a year.  I would love to have new year goals or, better yet, plans. It has so much potential. So my new year plan is to be more social. I want adventures. I want to do thing I can tell my future kids about. Plus I love my friends and I want to see them more.

     Also I want to write more. Blog more. I want to do the combination of both of my plans. I want to blog my adventures...

And a great new year goal for you could be to comment more, haha no pressure! I love you for reading this. I hope you enjoyed my ramblings. Share with me your plans for 2018 in the comments.
