All that is Gold and All those who Wander

All that is gold does not glitter,

Not all those who wander are lost;

The old that is strong does not wither,

Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,

A light from the shadows shall spring;

Renewed shall be the blade that was broken,

The crownless again shall be king.

--The Fellowship of the Ring

Cheeese.

I know that I haven't written a profound blog in a while. I've been working with school and learning to live on my own and attempting to figure out what I want to do with my life. It's been a rough process... not really, but it's been growing. So fun, whimsical blogs have been more up my alley lately. And today, I thought of something else I would like to share.

I have a love for cheese. There are some cheeses I don't like as much, but I gotta tell ya, when I have a hankering for cheese, you better get out of my way (okay, that's a little dramatic, but you know what I mean).

So today, I was making a chicken patty and thinking about what else I could eat with it. Digging through my fridge, I thought, "I have cheese!" Granted, it was shredded cheese and wasn't conducive to eating it plain. Yet, I took it out and proceeded to eat some. Yes, plain. I put it away, made myself hot chocolate, and took it back out because I couldn't stand the idea of going a second longer without it. It's a cheese day.

So, in conclusion: I like cheese. And I think that others should like cheese as well. It is a happy food. So have some happy cheese. It will brighten your day. Trust me.

When life gets hard...

Do you ever feel like you want to run away?

Today, I do. To this place:

And yet, I know this is not how to handle my problems.

"For this slight momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

Cheer up, Chickadee

Today it's gloomy outside. And it's a slow Thursday.

So:

Cheer up, chickadee.
