Untitled 17 months ago

I went to Kenya on a church trip and I met so many wonderful people that I can’t imagine never seeing again.
Everyone we met was so grateful for what they had, and were overwhelmed with whatever we gave them.

But it was just two women I met made the biggest impact on me.
Our small group went to a marketplace and of course everyone they yelled at us. They called us the slang word for white and tried to grab us and make us buy from them.
The two women that were with us held our hands and blocked peple from harming us. Josephine and Dorisa were so kind and caring to us even though we had never met them before that day.
Kenya taugh me so much about caring for others and valuing what I have.
I want to return one day and show them how much they have made a difference in my life- for the better.

smile a lot

The importance of smiling 17 months ago

One day on my way back from HIgh School, even though my day had been fine, I was sort of frowning. I came to a place where the sidewalk was under construction so I had to walk briefly in the street bike lane. As I was walking cars were just driving by me until one pulled over and rolled down their window.
I sort of backed away because I thought it was kind of creepy but then a large woman poked her head out and said:

“Smile hunny. It can’t be that bad”

And you know she’s right. There is always something in everyday that can make you smile- and if there isn’t- there’s alway our memories.
So go ahead smile.
People will be attracted to your joy more then they would be to your frowns, and wouldn’t you want people to know you as a happy person instead of a sulker?
