I'm out for now, so here's one of my recent favorites from someone else:

The Way I See It #20

I have been
reading and discussing poetry
sleeping late
walking (outside!)
smiling
using my brain+imagination so much more
and playing a LOT of chess.
With my sister, Lilly.
And the way I see it,

"It is better to disappoint a dozen promising acquaintances than to leave a good friend to be bored on a beautiful day."

After reading a small handful of existentialist (mostly nihilistic) works such as The Wall and The Stranger, I've come to this conclusion:

"Be kind, work hard, and be happy! Life is too short to waste!"
-Heidi Rose Krill

For the rest of the day after making this conclusion, I made a bunch of people happier through my kindness, made myself happier by not letting my temper spark so easily, and got more done. Win win? Win win.

"The Pat-On-The-Back exists because giving yourself a high five is a lot like clapping for someone else. But a pat on your back? That's all for you."

"Doing nice things for other people is the best way to say thanks to no one in particular. God. Life. The Universe. People."
-Heidi Rose Krill

Today I am thankful for the wonderful fortune I've been having lately. I won a giveaway. I got the part of Helen Keller in my school's production of The Miracle Worker. A nice lady at my school is always giving me treats (usually when I otherwise haven't had breakfast). I'm happy. I'm happy.

I just had to include this cartoon- it's so cute.
I grew up with Winne the Pooh.
By the way- the site I linked to has a new Winnie the Pooh cartoon everyday. :)
Bonus: an option to have the cartoon emailed to me daily!
Yipee!

Today I am thankful for deliciously flavored coffee creamers, Winnie the Pooh, and getting out of class to play and sing Christmas songs to adorable elementary schoolers!

"It's not what you do, but how you do it."
-Heidi Rose Krill

This is a thought so brilliant and so relevant that there is no possible way it originated from me. I have no idea where it could have come from, or if my idea is slightly different, but I wholeheartedly believe it, as I would have whether I had come up with it on my own or not.
Let this be reassurance to anyone who is indecisive: no matter what you choose, as long as you have a good perspective, you can be happy.

The Way I See It #7

Many times it has happened that I have disliked someone for a very small reason, whether because they hardly smile or because the one time I heard them speak, it was to complain. But really, I feel that whatever the reason, it falls under this impression: That person doesn't care. Now many times, my original assumption has been proven wrong in as quick as a second. How? Maybe they smiled at me. Or spoke kindly to me. Maybe they even gave me a hug. Most of the people I don't like, I don't like just because I don't think they like me. And who wants to like someone who doesn't like them? The thing is, this is a two-way street. Someone has to crack a smile first. Why should you have to wait? Make the first move.

"No human can truly dislike someone whom they feel cares about them, if only a little."
-Heidi Rose Krill

I'm not going to try and hide that it's Thursday. I'm just going to say I'm sorry it's late, and I hope you don't mind.

"I eat and drink because it's a habit, and because it's delicious. The fact that it keeps me alive is just an extra benefit."

"Your age is a measure of your experience. It doesn't measure anything else. Not wrinkles, or gray hairs. Not mobility or motivation (or knowledge, for that matter). Some people see a little bit of everything, and others see a lot of a little. But 22 years will never have as much experience as 23."
