Why Not? :)

Well, I've never had a blog before, but I thought now would be a great time make one with starting college soon and all.  Basically I've been feeling pretty philosophical lately, so I decided.. I'll make a blog! I guess I'll begin with the fact that when a few of my friends and I go running at night, we usually put our phones in flower pots/bushes so we don't have to hold them on our run. Well, let's just say we learned our lesson when we got back to find the flowers watered and our phones saturated.. oops :/ So while I was busy feeling angry and sorry for myself for not having a phone, my mom handed me a book to read called Tuesdays with Morrie, which did not take long for me to get into. In the book the main character, Morrie, battles a terminal illness BUT he refuses to let it ruin his mood and the little time of life he has left.  Instead he chooses to appreciate and take notice of all the happy things in his life. I feel like sometimes we get so caught up in life's busyness that we forget to be thankful for what we do have!
One of my favorite songs-- "Thankful" by Josh Groban
"Some days we forget to look around us. Some days we can't see the joy that surrounds us. So caught up inside ourselves; we take when we should give."--these lines especially reminded me of the character Morrie's outlook on life.

^Here's the whole song :)  love it<3
