Life Is Good

It was 6:47 pm on a Sunday night and I was struggling to think of something to blog about. The usual thought process: “What is something that I can vent on that has recently happened in my life?” Then an unexpected thought popped into my head: “Wait, why do I have to write about something negative?” 

Now it is 6:49 pm and I have the idea. A blog post about how completely awesome and spectacular my life is right now.

“I live in Park City.” I have said those words too many times to count in the past year. Honest hour: I was lying. Whew! I’m glad I got that off my chest! I have been living in Peoa while our home in Park City was getting an addition. Seriously, how long can it possibly take to add a garage and one room to a house? Apparently an extremely long time. The remodel began in October of 2013 and was supposed to be finished in April. Then the date got pushed to July. Then September. November 11th. The day I finally became an official Park City resident. That is something to be more than happy about!

Takin' my pup for a walk in the fresh snow!

There is only one thing that can put a smile on my face when I wake up at 6:00 am to head to the dungeon, aka school: Snow falling from the sky! Any kid living in Park City can relate. Snow means the beginning of many things: Sledding, wearing puffy coats, Drinking hot cocoa, Wearing UGGS, ice skating, a possible snow day, feeling cozy, catching snowflakes on your tongue, wearing sweaters, and my all time favorite: Listening to Christmas music. I wait all year for that fluffy white stuff to fall from the sky so when the day finally comes, I am obliged to write about it.

Happiness in a box.

I am just going to put it out there now that most adults will not understand how this event made the cut to be retold on this blog. Most kids, specifically ones with Mrs. Alplanalp as a teacher, on the other hand will totally see my point of view. Fourth period. This is usually the time of day when students start to tune out learning. The only thing they want to listen to is the sound of their face hitting the pillow on their bed. Mrs. Alplanalp, is probably the only teacher that understands this. Mrs. Alplanalp also knows that any child, no matter what age, will wake up and participate for one thing: CANDY. It was decided that we would play Bingo. You can probably guess the winning prize. You could hear a nickel drop in that room. The game was intense but would shortly be put to an end. I looked down at my bingo sheet and saw heaven. Just kidding, but it was pretty close to heaven. A continuous row of bingo chips sat smiling up at me. You don’t understand how big of a deal this was for me. I thought I was the definition of an unlucky person. 

I am definitely going to try this optimistic blogging thing again some time! I hope my readers will realize that I am not as negative of a person as my posts make me out to be. Although voicing my troubles in life on this blog makes be feel good, expressing the moments of happiness feels even better.
