"Spring is known as a time of rejuvenation, and the start of new beginnings"

Sunshine and Blessings
Stocksnap

The sunshine brings me joy. There's something about the warmth and brightness of the sun that makes my skin glow, my body energized, and my heart content. Spring is known as a time of rejuvenation, and the start of new beginnings. If you know me at all, then you know how much I've dreaded this on and off snowy weather that we have had this winter. It was beautiful the first time, but it became very upsetting when it snowed once again in February. And although I would give anything for it to be summer, I am excited to see what changes and adventures come my way this spring.

As winter comes to a final close, and as spring begins, it's time to look back and reflect on the blessings that this winter season brought. Blessings come in all shapes and sizes, it could be a victory one, a goal achieved, a lesson learned, a dramatic lifestyle changed, something new gained, something lost, a commitment made, a promise held, and a joyous moment that changed perspective. No matter how it came about, or what it is, blessings should be treasured.

So my dear readers, reflect, keep working hard in school and at your place of work, look forward to some time of rest, and let’s start planning for the many adventures we will all individually take in the season to come.

Spring break is only a few weeks away, and I can hardly wait. Although I will stay home most of the time, or that I am not going anywhere, let alone any big plans, I am excited to relax, catch up on some sleep, and hopefully enjoy some sunshine.

Happy spring, may your days be filled with joy, laughter, and lots and lots of sunshine!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
