Shine On

 Thanksgiving is in t-minus 3 days!! I'm so stoked, I can NOT wait to go home and enjoy a nice break with my family:) 

Being at college makes me realize just how much I love my family! Yesterday I got to meet my sweet little nephew for the first time and see my niece, nephew, brother, and his wife who I haven't seen in over a year. It was so happy! They live way too far away. I am SO glad that I have 7 amazing siblings and 20 awesome nieces and nephews:)

 I decided it's important to be optimistic sometimes. Have a dance party in your kitchen. By yourself. Or with others, it doesn't really matter:) But I even have a song for ya! It's this video of Noteworthy a few years ago, singing "Shine." Its my jam! It's such a good, happy song!:)

Life's not perfect! I mean, heck, I just burned myself on scalding hot water from microwavable pot-stickers and am currently icing my hand with frozen corn! (hashtag 1st world college probs)

Here's a little secret I'm gonna let you in on: life's hard sometimes. The end! But there's so much happy in the world. So find it. :) (In good things of course:))

Oh, and have a smashing day. :)
