“Learn to like what doesn't cost much.
Learn to like reading, conversation, music.
Learn to like plain food, plain service, plain cooking.
Learn to like fields, trees, brooks, hiking, rowing, climbing hills.
Learn to like people, even though some of them may be different...different from you.
Learn to like to work and enjoy the satisfaction doing your job as well as it can be done.
Learn to like the song of birds, the companionship of dogs.
Learn to like gardening, puttering around the house, and fixing things.
Learn to like the sunrise and sunset, the beating of rain on the roof and windows, and the gentle fall of snow on a winter day.
Learn to keep your wants simple and refuse to be controlled by the likes and dislikes of others.”

"Hey! Notice Me!"

Hello World.
Why am I suddenly noticing your many wonders?
I'm not exactly sure, but it's a given that it's made my week 
_________this__________ much better.
So World, I'd like to point out some of your wonderful beauties.
Your trees? Are magnificent
Their soggy, rusty colored leaves fell on my car.
And stayed there all week,
leaving a bit of color on my windshield.
Those fluffy white clouds
simply amaze me.
Really, Truly, Honestly? 
How do you get them shaped like that?
No offense to your sunshine, 
But I prefer the fog.
The mountains, though a bit gloomy lookin' 
at the moment,
always catch my attention.
Especially in the morning.
Those rays of sunshine,
beaming off of those jagged edges...
INCREDIBLE.

Frosty roof tops were the first thing I noticed 
when I looked out my window this morning.
How spectacular! Winter is right on my doorstep,
and let me tell you, I can't wait to let her in.

Yours Truly,
Stacie Katherine.
Also, a plus about this weather.
I got to pull out my bright red Pea Coat.
What's Good?!?!
