I took some Tylenol before I went to sleep last night and I woke up feeling like I had been drugged. That can't be normal.
How rich are you?
No, seriously. Think about it for a second.
Think about the value of everysingledollar that you earn.
It's hard to see when you're sitting next to the Joneses, who actually own the money-printing factory downtown, but trust me when I say these words: if you're reading this, then you're richer than you know.
Here are my results, in case you were wondering (since this IS my Time for Honesty this week):
Now, granted, I don't feel like I'm in the top 12.5% of the wealthiest people in the world. But how I feel doesn't negate the fact that I am. And as a member of the group of the richest people in the world, I feel responsible.
The world's largest pot of coffee wouldn't be enough to wake me up today...
We all have a "quiet" place, right?
For some people, it's in bed. For others, it's in at a spa or in a hot tub. Meanwhile, others claim that it's wherever their family isn't.
And for those of you that don't have a quiet place... I suspect your insanity may get the best of you soon. You should get that checked out and find a quiet place ASAP.
No, seriously.
I'm not sure what I'd do without my quiet place.
First of all, I wouldn't have a blog, because it seems to be the only place that my head is clear enough to think of things to write about. So that would just be sad for you.
To boot, I wouldn't have any friends if I didn't seek out my quiet place frequently. Just trust me on this one.
Finally, I would go insane if I didn't have a quiet place, because, frankly, I like to be alone. Some would call me a recluse. I'd tend to agree with them, though I'd rather not be associated with a group of poisonous spiders. Maybe if I could be a blue recluse... that'd be kind of cool.
In all seriousness, though, I do have a quiet place, and I do love it. My quiet place can be found...
I slept in until 7 AM. I must be sick or something.
Just out of curiosity... how many languages do you know? 5? 7? 2?
Or do you just know 1? (Hopefully no one knows less than that)
I think a lot of us fall under the same category that I'm in: a language "sampler."We know bits and pieces of about 10 different languages, but if we had to survive in a country that spoke any of them, we'd die.
It's not a bad thing. It's just how things are.
For instance, I know bits and pieces of Spanish, French, Chinese, and Krio. I also do know how to read Ancient Greek, but that's about as useful when speaking as knowing how to swim while standing on your head.
However, what I didn't realize until just recently is that I'm slowly learning a new language.
I finished The Hunger Games books in 3 days. Now what on earth am I going to do with my life?
Sunday, Sunday, gotta get down on Sunday...
Oops. That's supposed to be Friday. I'm pretty sure someone forgot to tell this girl that, though:
Because it's Sunday, and because Sunday is awesome (and, to boot, I'm pretty rad myself), I wanted to share a few blogs with you that I follow. I do this each week because, frankly, I'd want someone to do the same for me. And I think Jesus tells us to do stuff like that on a regular basis, so I'll take his word for it.
So here are the blogs you NEED to visit today. Yes, this is a need in your life. Fulfill it.
SSquared - This blog is probably one of my best kept secrets... until now. Stephanie, the author, has some great insight into a lot stuff that happens in life. She has her own perspective on things that you can definitely appreciate and understand.
The Life of Kai - So this might be cheating, since I've shared Kai's blog before, but he has started posting regularly as the result of a very cool writing challenge he's taking a part in. So click on that beautiful little link and let him know what you think (catch the rhyme there?).
Two Hiccups Blog - And, as always, a blog for the moms, because moms are awesome. Including this one, who has a lot to say about homeschooling, faith, and anything else she can think of!
Short. Sweet. To the point.
Just how I like it. And, I suspect, how you like it as well.
So give these people a visit (remember, it's a need you have!) and give them a follow as well! Have a fantastic Sunday!
Now, granted, I don't feel like I'm in the top 12.5% of the wealthiest people in the world. But how I feel doesn't negate the fact that I am. And as a member of the group of the richest people in the world, I feel responsible.
