A little bit of spice to flavor the pot.
         I've never really gone camping or otherwise gone out into the great outdoors. The only time that barely comes close is one time I went on a church Core trip. It wasn't even my regular church but it was the only one that fit with our schedule. They had some group stuff that was not overall bad. But it can be intimidating sometimes being part of a group who know each other when you don't know many yourself. It was a little teeny bit scary being away from home. Even it was just for a few days.

          I especially can remember when this girl Jennifer dressed up as big foot to scare everybody. That was memorable. I'm glad to say I went and got a bit closer to my spirituality. There's not too much I can say for the outdoors other than I really don't see myself as ever being the outdoors type. But I applaud people who are. I just can't say that will ever be me.

         Sometimes, it's nice to go out to eat as a family. Mom tries to get us to eat healthy when she can. Just this Sunday, we had Chinese. I can't say I don't appreciate variety in my diet. I'm not familiar with the ''local establishments'' in my area. If the folks are too worn out, we may eat in or pick up something to eat.

         I just saw this today and it stuck. I'm not currently employed but there were still some things that felt wrong. I know we've made progress over time, but there are still gender inequalities that occur in the workplace. Some things may be unavoidable but that doesn't mean there isn't room for some serious change. We talk about equality and yet there areas till some areas of life that could use an upgrade. Why shouldn't there be equality at work? If you're going to be working somewhere, you want to be able to be at your best performance.

Well, my mom's usually busy so she has a separate phone # for work we can use. Dad's easier to reach b/c he's out in the truck all day. I don't use my cell that frequently unless I'm texting a friend or calling the folks for a ride. But what about if there's an emergency? People pick up the phone faster than they respond to email. Sometimes we lose power and we need to contact someone to fix it. What use is the computer then? If you break down you can call AAA or al least a tow truck. They are helpful in our everyday lives, especially in emergency situations. In some aspects, it may not be required. But if you miss the bus, to or from school, you break out your phone so someone can get you where you need to be. In that sense,I think phones have become a ''necessary evil.''

I don't know if I think over much on simplicity. Is it easy to read, can a reader comprehend? Am I getting across what I want to say? I'm happy if I can tell a story that is relatable and easy for the reader to follow. Some things are easier to work with than others, but you play around till you find your rhythm.

         In church, the priest will mention something about the gifts/talents we're blessed with. Well, I'd really like to know mine is. It's nothing obvious as far I know. Some people it's obvious- star athlete, amazing singer, math whiz... But I, I haven't really pinned down what it is. I doubt whether I'll ever really know my talent/gift is at this point in life.

         Throughout my life, I've attempted to convince myself I don't care about others' opinions of me.{I'm a terrible liar.} I, at least, try to act like I don't care. I used to{sometimes still do} have body image issues when it came to mirrors, so I avoided them. I had a bad habit of comparing myself to others. Maybe was a little jelly/bitter at times when I really shouldn't have been. It's hard not to, especially at the middle/high school age. hopefully, though, things aren't quite so bad after middle school and you enter high school, hopefully.

          My Gen. Psych. class in college had some mindfulness meditations that were a little awkward at first but I grew to like them over time. Now, I have since discovered Happify, which I believe has helped improve my mindfulness and how I think of myself in general. I also being a part of this sight as also helped to navigate the craziness of life as well.

          I have since learned over the years I have naturally long eyelashes. So, no need to worry on that score since I'm covered already. I like my natural hair color, even if I'm still lost on styling it. I get complimented for my eyes and also raise to ''cute'' status when I get all ''dolled up.'' I know one time in middle school, a boy complimented me on my butt. {Sometimes, you take then as they come and move on.}

         so yeah, in some ways I've changed over time as I've gotten older. Some things are harder to change than others. {Baby steps, right?}

         ALWAYS, LOVE You! Even when others get you down. Be the BEST You that you are able!

I don't know if I have a preferred way, any sleep at all is lovely. I don't always sleep well, so sometimes I'm still up at crazy hours of the night. But falling asleep as soon as I hit the bed is nice. Sometimes, I try to read when I can't sleep, that sometimes works to get me to fall asleep.Comfort is key otherwise, it's likely a lost cause. I tend to switch positions so, whenever I can get comfortable I try to settle in for the night.

How do I count the ways? I've actually dipped my chicken tenders in a slushy from BK before. No regrets, worked well with fries too. Definitely get more out of it with the chicken tenders though. Nothing, but NOTHING BEATS CHOCLATE. Chocolate w/ ice cream is a winning combination. Like what I got this past Saturday as a throwback to my b-day. Wonderful, creamy, chocolate, fudge, heaven!

I understand wanting to alleviate the suffering of those who are ill. But when it comes to'' recreational use'', then I stop following. There's already a tobacco industry, and I see some adds against it already. I don't believe the Govt., as of now, will abolish it. They make money off it with taxes. Unless, that goes away, they'll continue to allow it. If there's a positive side to this, I guess I'm still in the dark. But, recreational use, just sounds like an excuse for people to smoke weed w/o getting arrested. Is there an age limit to it's use? I hope so. B/c I can see this heading down a road best left untraveled.

I believe that my dog Donnie smiles. Especially when there's food they know they can have. My one beagle, Donnie, gets excited whenever there's piggy or roast chicken he can have. His eyes light up, and he gets a big smile of happiness. And afterwards, he passes out on my butt when the food's gone. But only, after each morsel is devoured.*Dog1**Golucky*
