Today, I just feel happy with my life, even though I'm unusually tired and I had to bring in firewood.  When I look in the mirror, I think, "I like my hair.  I like my face.  My acne is clearing up nicely.  I'm glad God made me the way He did."  I'm not boasting, I'm just happy with who I am.  As I was doing my schoolwork, I was so glad that I can read and don't have some learning disorder, even whilst doing chemistry.  My house is small, but it's a house and it's warm.  Firewood is a drudgery to bring in, but we're saving money on fuel.  And when things do get tough, I've got a Savior who loves me and an imagination that takes me where I will.  Life is good.

It kinda made me think of this adorable video, even though I'm not THIS hyper:

LOL, I love this kid.

My plans for the remainder of the day are as follows: do some itunes shopping, paint a watercolor picture, practice piano, write a song or poem, make some ink, and watch The Two Towers.  In case you're wondering, I want to make ink because I have this cool feather pen and an awesome leather journal, so all I need is the ink to write like some one from a fantasy tale. :D

And speaking of fantasy, here's some humor:

Frodo considers quitting being
a hobbit.

Strider has a fear of spiders. Legolas
knows this, and is looking for a laugh.
Elves have a mean sense of humor.
