Cross-Examination?

This blog post was a tough one for me. I always do what my mother tells me, and always do my chores...

Just kidding! What teenager actually does that? I discussed this blog with my mother recently, and she said that the thing that I would most likely be cross-examined for would be for not cleaning up my clothes. Sadly, this is true.

Unlike most normal mothers who just yell and say "Please just pick up your clothes!", my mom takes it to a whole new level. She gives me the normal "mom warning", but then she takes all of my clothes and throws them into the front yard. Now, I have to go retrieve my clothes, AND they are wet. So, If you ever saw me being cross-examined by my mother, this is most likely whats going on.

In the end however, I learn my lesson. And I refrain from leaving my clothes on my bedroom floor..for a while! I love you Mom!

Mask Poem

You think that you know me
But can you really be sure?

Sometimes I had behind my pure happiness mask
Full of yellows and oranges

Other times I show my more hidden side
A collage of blues, reds, and even the occasional black

Take a moment to think however,
Don't we all hide behind a mask?

Are we always in a state of ecstasy?
Are we always perfect?

I think not,
Thus I wear the mask.

CEL-E-BRATE Good Times, CMON!

Celebrate family.
Celebrate friends.
Celebrate shelter.
Celebrate EVERYTHING!

Celebration does not only have to be used on necessities. We can also celebrate everything we are thankful for in life, or the people we share these things with. For example, I am thankful for my family and friends who lift me up when I'm down. However I am also thankful for the little birds who build nests in the tree outside my window. I love waking up to that!

So to sum this all up, you can celebrate anything!
