It's been a while.

It's been a long, long while since I've written poetry. I used to be really into it, especially because I had more time. The reason I like poetry is because of the sweet relief it gives you. You could be going through battles and trials and feel like there's a cloud of problems hovering above you that you can't explain or sometimes even talk to anyone about. But then you pick up your paper and pen and just write down whatever comes to you in relation to your emotions or whatnot, and in the end you feel like you've released your pent-up frustrations. Here's something I recently wrote:

Biggest Animal That Ever Lived

Sorry I barely ever post. Things have been really busy and only recently have I been getting on more and learning about the outside world; friends getting married, having kids, moving countries, pioneering new homes... it's a lot to take in at once. Anyways, back on subject The biggest animal that ever lived... ME! Ha... joke. Alright, not funny.
So this is something I found today. It's pretty interesting. There are some very common animals that we just don't know that much about. Odd, no? The other day I was looking at a giraffe and it dawned on me what a weird creature it is. It's just so funny looking and doesn't have anything to do with any other creature. Odd thoughts. I'm full of them. Well, enjoy your school time!

Blue Planet, Blue Whale.

Just a little humor for past's sake.

My Nephew

Everyone's having babies!!! Is there a push going on that I don't know about? (No punt intended.) Here's the newest added baby to my family. Pearl has an amazing camera and is also, of course, an amazing photographer, as well as my brother, Sam.

I think his eyes are blue.
Golly... look at those eyes the little guy has! 
Him and his beautiful mother, Pearl.

There's something beautiful about having a new member added to your family. This one is absolutely adorable and looks just like his daddy, when he was a baby. I really miss you guys and love you so much!! I hope I'll get to meet Kael Alexandre Renaud one day, Lord willing! xoxox

Don't Loose Yourself

To those of you who are loyal and drop friendly visits, first of all, I love you very much! Thanks for checking out my blog! I sometimes forget about it and need someone at my heels to remind me to blog. Thank you, I have you on a pedestal.
Here's something cool that's probably on a couple hundred other blogs:

DON'T LOOSE YOURSELF
This was engraved on the wall of Mother Teresa Home for Children in Calcutta.


People are often unreasonable, illogical and self-centered.
FORGIVE THEM ANYWAY!

If you are kind people will accuse you of selfish ulterior motives.
BE KIND ANYWAY!

If you are successful you will win some false friends and true enemies.
SUCCEED ANYWAY!

If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you.
BE HONEST AND FRANK ANYWAY!

What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight.
BUILD ANYWAY!

The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow.
DO GOOD ANYWAY!

Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough.
GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU HAVE ANYWAY!

You see, in the final analysis it is between you and God,
NOT BETWEEN YOU AND THEM ANYWAY!

Be good.
