Taste of Happiness

(This one will probably be short)
Second part of writing prompt from Writers Write
"Write about the taste of happiness"

Happiness is a sweet. The kind you can get addicted to, and want for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It melts in your mouth, and fills you with warmth. It can do more for improving your day than a cup of hot coffee, though some would say coffee is the taste of happiness. Happiness tastes different from anything else in the world, and sometimes we can let ourselves go too long without truly tasting it. But sometimes, we taste it daily, in the little things. Children playing, laughing with friends, a hug from mom or dad. We can taste happiness wherever we are, whatever we are doing. All we have to do, it's look for it.

Dear Mamma/My Day With You

Image
Dear Mamma, Today marks eleven years since we said “see ya later”. I’ve lived longer on this earth without you than with you. It’s a mind blowing and heartbreaking realization. I’ve learned so much from you, both in life and in memory. You taught me what it means to live for Christ. Your life full of serving Him through serving your children and “your kids” in your youth group. Watching you put time into preparing lessons for them taught me the importance of teaching others. Reading your journals taught me the importance of daily prayer and quiet time with Christ.Your life, while not perfect, was a light pointing to the Savior that you loved so much. Your prayers for us to come to know Him a testimony to your complete faith.  Your memory is no longer infused into the places I walk on a daily basis, for Springfield is a place you never lived. But it’s infused in the pages of your journals, and in the Bible you marked up just for me. I no longer feel the pain of missing you every day, bu

Something a Little Random

  So, this week has been a little bit hectic, and when I finally get a chance to sit down and work on the blog I don’t have the journal with the already filled out prompts with me. So, I pulled this prompt from Pinterest. According to the pin, it originally came from inspirationeverywhere.blogspot.com , possibly in June of 2011. I thought it was super cute, fun, and simple, so decided to give it a shot! Currently. . . One: I am currently thinking that my glasses are making my eyes more dry (or maybe my eyeliner), and I’d really like my eye drops. I’m going to have to go find them. I’m also thinking about school and what I have to get done tomorrow after my keyboard charges! (It died, and I took it as a sign that homework was done for tonight, at least until after church. I’m typing this on my iPad and it’s not my favorite thing!) Two: I’m currently enjoying my Intro Old Testament class. I’ve just finished chapter one and already I’m learning so much I didn’t know about the txt that I’

Love Languages

I’ve been thinking a lot about love languages recently, thanks to a chapter in "the psychology workbook for writers" by Darian Smith that I’ve been reading as a way to improve my characters. I think I’ve narrowed down my most fluent love languages down to two ways that I tend to show and sometimes interpret love. First, I’ve noticed that one way I show love is through “acts of service”. This makes itself most noticeable at work, but does come out in other areas of my life. I’ve always been one that found it hard to say no, and I do enjoy serving others. I find that when serving someone that I know and love, the act of service becomes an act of love. For instance, at work. I work in the infant room of a daycare, and I’d known the teacher that I work with for several years before I started the job. We both share a love for coffee, though she prefers hers black most days and I absolutely must have cream and sugar. It’s a rare morning when she gets to the classroom having al
