blog #6 -lexi hall

I decided to write another one while I was writing, so here goes 350 more words. As I was writing a comment a second ago, it got me thinking about how I spend my time. I mostly either am watching tv, hanging out with friends or family, or doing something that is actually productive. Sometimes I get so caught up in with what I’m doing that I forget to be thankful for the times that I should be most grateful for. If this year has taught me anything at all; it’s that we have no certain amount of time on this beautiful Earth. The average life is 79 years, but who’s to say that you’ll get to enjoy all 79 years. Events that have taken place in my life this year that I wish never would’ve. These events have shown me how to be thankful every morning when I wake up and when I lay my head down at night. I have been beyond blessed with everything that I have, even down to the floor I get to put my feet on when I get out of bed. Time is precious here on Earth, and I’m going to try to make the most out of what time I’m given. This blog is kinda sad, so I’m going to change the subject bc I don’t want it to be so sad.

This week is church camp for my church and I didn’t go this year. It’s been such a busy summer so far and it’s not even over yet. I planned on doing something already scheduled this week and then it got cancelled and it was too late to sign up for camp. It’s the first time since I was in the 4th grade that I haven’t gone to camp. Hopefully, all the kids have a great time at camp this year tho bc I know I always do. This week will be a resting week for sure, and then next weekend I leave to go to Nashville. Summers almost over, but it has been the best ever this year. I guess I’ll hop back on the time thing to finish this blog off. This summer I’ve been blessed to go and see the places I’ve seen and do the things I get to do. Most people will never get to travel the world, maybe bc of money or just bc they’re physically not able. That’s something I will never take for granted is being able to get out of bed and walk to the kitchen to make breakfast, or be able to get in the car and drive to Jonesboro. Take time to see the small blessings and don’t waste the amount of time we’re given.

  1. I get what you're saying. Sometimes I'm not grateful but I try to be during any time. You never know what's going to happen, ever. And I love Nashville. I've went multiple times and its always a fun experience and something different. I love going downtown and listening to people on the sidewalks playing guitar or just messing around and doing strange things. Nashville really is a cool place. And I love that last sentence, it makes me think about certain things that I deal with. Have a good rest of the summer. - Zeke
