The Little Things

I learned something today.

Success is doing the little things well.

Its like falling in love again a little each day.

A romantic analogy for it might go something like this.

Dating.

She spends over an hour getting the hair and makeup just right, and then coordinating a cute outfit to compliment her.

He spends a little extra time on his hair (maybe gel), a nice shirt, and a splash of cologne.

He helps her down the steps and opens her door.

She smiles, thanks his kind actions.

She also commends his heroic actions. ;)

Later...

He brings her a rose, telling her that he loves her.

She is won (and may cry).

#2 thing learned

The habit of thought determines your attitude,

your attitude determines you behavior, and your behavior determines your results.

Think good things,

good attitude.

Have a good attitude,

good behavior follows.

Good behavior,

good results.

Replace 'good' with a word of the like and get your results.

Its a little change.

Life is about the little things.

As my dad says:

"Only three things matter in life;

Detail, Detail, Detail."

Neglect

There were events of 2011 that were not posted.

These poor things were neglected, but I am removing that neglect in 2012.

If there is enough photo space, this will be one long post!

The Snow, The Ice, and The AM

Being ill. It puts my body in confusion... So after waking up well before my alarm, and not being able to return to a great sleep, I started a project. I need more beads for my icicles. So, I was only able to make one.

I figured out how to make snowflakes though. They only take over an hour each. :/

So, my accumulation for over three hours of work:

2 Snowflakes

1 Icicle

2 Charlie Brown movies (and then some)

The Snow:

The Ice:

The Setup:

Yes, I was using my phone before 7 AM.

I hope some still love me!

:D

Pressing on!

Learning

If out of all the knowledge I have acquired during my college experience, I want this one valuable piece of education to last longer than the time until my very future return.

That is this:

<*))sweedish))-{

I think that would be the emoticon of a most great snackfood that exists. I will let it be on my blog to remind me how fascinated I was to discover it.

Try fish!

Don't ask how I discovered it.

Ice

I got crafty. Probably the first time in 6 or so years I have been this crafty.

I made these.

It took me a couple hours, but I now have eight icicles!

My mom taught me how to make them and we would sit on her bed and do them together at the end of the year, working to do some for Christmas.

That is a very special memory for me. She loved Christmas.

It may have rubbed off some.

I like winter :)

 I love snow :) 

I want to put these on my tree. I already started :)

The best part: Being warm, inside, with friends and family.

 Happy Winter! 

(12 degrees when I went to class this morning! ~ gotta love it!)
