reading: The Bible Jesus Read
Just started it, no thoughts yet. I'll let you know.
listening to: Jack Johnson's Sing-along and Lullabies
It's a comfort thing. Sure, the songs sound like they're for litle kids, but listen to them. They've got a message.
eating: trail mix and yogurt
And I've started not adding anything to the food I eat--no dressing, condiments, etc. Not sure why...
watching: CSI re-runs
You just don't question a good thing.
thinking about: older siblings
It's a hard job.
finding frustrating: swearing and growing up.
They both just aren't cool.

I've been in and our of hospital lately for my shoulder. And I've been told there's really nothing the doctors can do. So, I've been taking it easy the last few days, even spent a while just chilling in bed. Let me tell you, that was difficult. Difficult, and yet all I could do. The pain has been getting worse each time I dislocate it--frustrating, as each time I dislocate it, it gets easier to dislocate. Hmm. I think I should be put in a bubble... It seems like no where is safe for me these days.

I've been putting a lot of thought lately into 'choices'. We have so many choices we can make, if we choose to. And then, in all the opportunities we do have choices, we can choose to do the right thing, or the wrong thing, or the option thats mainly right but a bit wrong, or the thing that is wrong but not as bad as another choice... It's just a mess. And then, to top it all off, those choice affect not only us, but other people in our lives too. Sometimes, it even affects people we don't even know.
I think lots of people (most commonly in younger people, aka teens, although also people of all ages) underestimate choices. Both the power of our choices and the numbers of our choices. Which really go hand in hand. If you don't realize how many choices you have, you won't always be making the right choice, or even realizing you could make the right choice...
Anyway, that was quite a long preamble for something that could have been said quite simply. I have been feeling more positive lately, and I believe it is because I have made the choice to. I never thought it would work, but I've been proven wrong. Choosing positive really can help life seem better. For me at least.
I have a choice about everything I do. In the same way, I have a choice about everything I don't do. Coming to that realization really changed things... For one, it's made complaining a lot harder. Don't worry though, I still do it a lot more than I should.

To finish it off, here are some...
Confessions of a Teenage Girl
I have recently taken a few Facebook quizzes.
When my parents say I have to clean my room before I go out, I sometimes* shove everything in my closet.
I felt like I was enlightened after reading the results to said taken Facebook quizzes.
I love singing Nickleback or Kelly Clarkson at the top of my lungs.
I wish I could be an music artist or a dancer when I grow up.
I occasionally* lie in bed a dream about my future husband.
I sign my diary as if I was talking to a person.
I sleep with stuffed animals.
