So here I am, sitting in bed at 11pm working on my lovely MWDS. For all those who are lucky enough to have never heard of such a thing, a MWDS is a Major Works Data Sheet, aka a pain in the butt, make or break your grade project. But I'll do it in the morning because we now have a two hour delay for fog! Since we don't get snow except once a year down here, fog makes for a great alternative to sleep in.
Anyway I love sitting in the dark, quite of the night. There is something beautiful about the dark serenity; knowing all the world around you is fast asleep in their beds and you are alone to contemplate your own thoughts. Right now I am thinking how nice it is to have my thoughts to myself. No outside pressure from others. I am also thinking how I wish I did not have a drippy, itchy nose. I either have winter allergies (which would be a first), getting sick or been around too many people with cats today. I am pretty sure it is the third.
Ah cats, lovely, pretty animals but they drive my nose up the wall, causing me to have a great dislike towards them. Dogs however are amazingly sweet and cute. They can turn your day upside down with a wag of their tails. Like when I come home from being out all day, Emily runs to me, with her butt wiggling behind her. Her facial expression is always one of excitement and pure joy for another friend to come play with her and love her. Her energy is enough to fill a room with joy. (Which leads me to another tangent)
Being on the Youth Council Committee at church, each month we have a new challenge. This past month has been to read the scriptures daily and smile more. Now, I am not half bad at remembering scriptures since they are always right next to my bed but smiling, I did not remember that being part of the task. But on my own I have been trying to be nicer. Which can be hard because I am quite opinionated, but I am slowly learning and getting better. But have you ever noticed how small acts of kindness affect your day? Just the other day I witnessed several examples of kindness. At school someone let me out of the parking lot so I could get on to my next school, which made me want to do the same for another person. Then walking upstairs to my last class, a guy held open the door for me. Finally, leaving school, traffic was horrendous and right as I was starting to get upset, there was Dillon, waving his arm vigorously to let me know I could go ahead of him. How those people had made my day without ever knowing it. To them their acts may have seemed small but to me, I was extremely grateful and they made my day a hundred times better. It is nice to see chivalry is not dead.
Well I am getting tired so I think I shall close this post, goodnight one and all and sweet dreams.
