Oh the first real snow of this winter

woke up this morning..
took a look out the window
couldnt believe what i found
a blanket of white covered the ground.

<3



I love but i hate
this time of year
all the couples are crawling from the woodworks
making me realize something I havent found yet.


Someday...

Old Blog

I found my old blog.. its full of poems and stuff that I wrote from about 6th grade to 8th grade.. so if you read them try not to judge my on them.. its been 4-8 yrs since I was that quite that girl...

--i wish i still wrote... ill prolly start soon.. i can feel it coming lol

I never have good titles for stuff.

...So lately I have been thinking that life is SO short...
our own mortality is always on the back burner when it comes to so many things... The stunts we pull, the stupid things we do, and the feelings we have for others, the dreams we want to chase.

--today its short and sweet...as for the stunts and stupid things we do.. that's up to you.. but don't let the opportunities to express how you feel pass you by and chase your dreams until your out of breathe.


Love,
Kara

Happy Thanksgiving..

I hope my friends are having a Good Thanksgiving..
- My mom, dad, and I went to my hometown for Thanksgiving dinner last night.. it was pretty nice getting to see the family.
Especially my great grandpa J.D.! He is such an inspiration. He is 89ish and still walks miles almost everyday...
Anyways, we came home early this morning because I had to work at good old K-mart.. I'll be there tomorrow as well, which sucks..


This blog is kinda of worthless, but I suppose I will list some things I'm thankful for, as corny and cliche as that might be...

I'm very thankful for my family.. Without my parents I wouldnt be who I am today. I am very proud of who I've become as an person. I'm also very grateful for my brothers. Even though I don't get to see them very often I'm very glad I have them. They are always a big help when I am in need of it no matter what it is. I give them a hard time, but it's just cause I want them to be the best they can be, and have the best of everything, including what kind of girls they date.
I'm even more thankful for my Jesus. My faith is a huge part of my life and I hope it always stays that way. (I'm very tired.. I want to elaborate on this but I'm wayyyyy exhausted.. I'm sure someday I'll explain it all ..)
Finally, I'm thankful for the circumstances I live with everyday. I'm very fortunate when it comes to my friends, living situation, parents, money, and much more. I have people who love and care about me so much and I'm sure that sometimes I take that for granted.. I try not to but sometimes you just get caught up in selfishness..

basically i'm thankful for all the cards I have been dealt, I wouldnt trade a single one.

Disappointment

- So lately I have been thinking about my friends and how some of them really disappoint me sometimes.. its so frustrating when they don't live up to the expectations I have set for myself (morality wise or relationship wise)... I guess it is kind of judgmental of me to be anger with them for not having the same morals or will power as I do. I need to realize that everyone struggles with different things... however sometimes I don't feel like these friends are "struggling" at all because they do not see it as a problem.

In a branch off of this, I hate when people settle for someone when they know they could do better. When I know they can do better. They all have these wonderful thoughts about who they want to be with, "I want her to love children, I want her to be generous, have a great heart, easy going, love jesus, a pure girl, someone with morals, someone with self control, someone who I can love." ..... all of this is good to say if you actually mean it .. and if you mean it then why do you waste your time on those girls who you KNOW are bad news..or maybe not "bad" news .. but for sure not the girl you are looking for??

just some thoughts for the day...

-god bless-
