a challege and some poetry!:)

I am going to try a challenge....to post every day for a week!!! they may be short, they may be long....but i am really going to try!!! =) so by next Thursday, hopefully I will have posted every single day about something!!!
today I want to share with you guys a free verse that I wrote-

I love...
The smell of rain during or after a rainstorm like a huge candle that freshens the earth.
The claps of thunder that make me jump and then laugh.
The beautiful pictures God paints with the calming sunsets and billowing, huge, white clouds.
And the springtime bliss of feeling the wind and hearing the robins chirp through my windows.
~written by me ♥

We are about to finish up a whole unit on beauty in Literature....and it has officially probably been my favorite unit so far. I have absolutely loved it!! :) here is a poem that we read:
Barter by Sara Teasdale
Life has loveliness to sell,
All beautiful and splendid things,
Blue waves whitened on a cliff,
Soaring fire that sways and sings,
And children's faces looking up
Holding wonder like a cup.

Life has loveliness to sell,
Music like a curve of gold,
Scent of pine trees in the rain,
Eyes that love you, arms that hold,
And for your spirit's still delight,
Holy thoughts that star the night.

Spend all you have for loveliness,
Buy it and never count the cost;
For one white singing hour of peace
Count many a year of strife well lost,
And for a breath of ecstasy
Give all you have been, or could be.

well, gotta run for now!! my day is going really well!!:) Hope your Thursday is beautiful!!!

Love,
Lu<3

Workouts-well I really need some muscle strengthening...not lying...these muscles aren't very strong. haha. but i want to work on it! I have done some working out in my days....but I haven't stayed on a serious schedule for very long since Dad's leg broke. which was 2 years ago. :/
this past year and this year I have done some but I want to do BETTER!
so far this week I have jogged/walked twice for 20 minutes...yesterday that did include me starting off and increasing in speed but today it didn't. we did that before starting the 20 minutes. Esther and I did jogging and then walking and we jogged about 3 times walking in between. :) it was hard, but felt good. it was cold, but hey! ;) we are determined. we will do it again Friday and then if we feel led, on Saturday again!:)

I hope you guy's February is going fab. I want to say also, that I have some awesome friends. right now, some of the closest people in my life are ADULT friends. ;) I love them...I think they know who they are ;) hahahaha.

well, signing off for now....
