Thanks MLK

SkylarJanuary 21, 2013

I know yesterday I was slightly complaining about having today off, but now I’m pretty thankful we did. So thank you Martin Luther King Jr. for giving us a national holiday and a reason to get a day off of school. Y’all should look up quotes by him too.

In 1963 King gave his “I Have a Dream” speech. Isn’t it odd to think that only 50 years ago or so our country was segregated? That really isn’t very far back if you think about it. It’s amazing the changes that can take place within a short amount of time.

Now on to more exciting things.

That is exactly how I react to babies. They scare me. This weekend my friends were talking about how a new baby looks like a potato. I agree. Sorry to any moms or people with children, but it’s true. One day I may have a baby of my own and will hopefully think it’s the most beautiful baby in the world. Until then I will think of all babies as potatoes up until they are about 2 years old. That’s when I begin to interact with them. Oh, I found this on Pinterest by the way.

I hope I’m not the only one. You may think I never get mad, but I do. When I’m hungry and when it’s a busy day at Wal-Mart. I was shopping with my mom in Wal-Mart at home over break and got road rage. Here I am standing by our cart as close to the shelves as comfortably possible. Well this large lady drives her cart up behind me and just stares at me. There is a cart ahead of me on the opposite side of the aisle I am on. There is a visible gap between my cart and the person ahead. If I weighed 500lbs I could have walked through it. But this lady just stares at me…It sets me off. I growl under my breath (a weird thing I do if I’m mad or annoyed) and storm out of the way with my cart to outside of the aisle. I slam the cart to the side out into the bigger main stream aisle and stand there trying to not go sprint after her with my cart to run her over. I just got mad retyping this story.

Well now moving towards happier things like Tumblr. On Tumblr I have a personal fitblr, which is basically a health/fitness blog where I just reblog a lot of quotes, pictures, and workout stuff. I also have a tumblr for posting whatever I like. This tumblr mostly has pictures that I love and quotes. So I’m going to share a few things I’ve reblogged that make me happy.

I’m taking a Documentary photography class this semester, so I’m trying to find some inspiration for what I want my semester long project to cover. I love everything about the photo above.

I love dark, rustic, mysterious photos.

Sad to say but this quote is true. I think so anyways.

I like this photo because of the beautiful contrasts of the black and white colors along with the middle gray. The boy in the pictures is kinda cute too…Justin Beiber. Honestly, I’m not obsessed with him, but I do like him and his music.

Lastly, here is the bible verse from my devotional this morning. “Don’t be impressed with your own wisdom. Instead, fear the Lord and turn away from evil. Then you will have healing for your body and strength for your bones.” Proverbs 3: 7-8.

That’s just something I need to keep in mind this week and is what I needed to hear. My own wisdom can only get me so far and is limited, but God’s wisdom can take me places I can’t even imagine.

Now I’m off to our first Zeta chapter meeting of the semester! I’m excited to see what the semester holds for my sisters and I!
