round two.

my nurse was nice, she apologized for the hospital socks that matched. I was just impressed she notice my non-matching socks.  my doctor is very kind and talented, I just wish I didn't have to see him as much as I do.

at least they let me sleep.

the accidental learning experiment.

I get bored.

yesterday I was extremely bored.

so in a fit of wanting to entertain myself I went to the good ol' fb (pronounced eff bee). I had a spark of insanity to post this.

it started slow, only had three 'likes' after about an hour. I thought to myself after those messages were sent, "well this was a fun experience, whatevs." more and more slowly came through.

now for the kicker, what I learned.

I could drone on about how we find the bad in people all the time (which is true, don't deny it) and we run with it. Most of the time I use my social networking for saying "ha, I'm better" not in so many words, but basically that's what happens.

but, but, everyone who I got to send a message to, I was very surprised with what I felt about them. I had to change my attitude from them being just an ordinary person to pushing to see how they are amazing. and oh boy they are.

I would be lying if told you that it was easy to come up with things to write, because well some people I hadn't even seen for five or so years, and there are two that I personally haven't met. not wanting to back down from my challenge that I blasted over the fb, I actually said a prayer about it, about these people.

the beautiful attributes hit me hard.

I was able to let these people know how they are beautiful, why I see them as kind, what their witty attitude does, who they help to be happy, where they have affected my life for the better.

not that I expect replies, because that is not the purpose of my challenge, but some have replied with simple 'thank yous' and questions of why I did this. but one sent me a message before I could send his to him, the gesture alone was enough to make my day, let alone what he wrote being genuine and heartfelt, he gave me a taste of what I might be doing for others.

maybe I was blessed being able so say simple things to people and let them interpret them how they want, or maybe I was blessed with seeing a glimpse of how our Savior sees them. all I know is that I am so amazed of how marvelous each person is.

I was honored with this idea, one that I thought to be silly at first, but I am thankful for this. I am thankful for the people who participated. I learned something valuable, where the incredible lies.

made.

I got my creative pants on. 

I enjoy a day with my sewing machine (really my mom's) it gets me all excited to go out and sport whatever I've made.

people notice my handmade/homemade items that I sport. I am tired of just wearing them myself. I want to start making for others. It's a slow start and going to be difficult.

fox scarf. furry and cozy.

 bandit scarf. three ways to wear it. maybe four if you're feeling mischievous.

bow. pin in hair for a playful style.

necklace. well lets face it, you don't ever have too much jewelry.

skirts. lace. nuff said.

october.

in the month of october I had a family member pass away. it was very sad, but I know I'll see her again.

starving for followers.

being popular in real life is a lot different than being popular online.

twitter - a whopping 18 followers. which is more than expected because I didn't start to even understand twitter until about three days ago. 

instagram - 199 followers. thats a good solid number. I really don't really expect to get any more than that. other than the fact that my best friend doesn't follow me. jerk. okay joke. 

facebook - 1,128 friends. only because I can add people too. 

blogger - 12 followers. twelve. I'm okay with twelve. there are many personal blogs with a couple thousand. I would get scared. or go writing crazy. 

attempting more social media accounts then the ones that I already have seems like a daunting task. I am not ready.

real life friends are great. even better a real life boyfriend is great. online hand holding just doesn't sound nice.
