Green Lifestyle Tip...?

The Umbrella-Coat

"Umbrellas, as useful as they may be, can also be a real drag in the city – particularly on crowded urban streets or when your hands are full. On a rainy day in the city it can be a nightmare to avoid getting poked in the eye or tangled up in the gaggle of umbrellas clogging the sidewalks

Greece-based Studio NL’s Athanasia Leivaditou has come up with a simple solution to the umbrella entanglement problem. The Umbrella-Coat, a recent recipient of a Silver A’Design Award in Fashion and Jewellery Design, combines a raincoat, an umbrella and waterproof trousers."

“Depending on the weather conditions and the amount of rain it can be adjusted to different protections,” explains the designer’s website.

A simple yet perfect urban design solution that would also help to eliminate the millions of cheaply made umbrellas that end up in the landfill after being destroyed during bad weather.

In my opinion this does not really help the environment at all and it is awkward and would get in the way. That just me though

21st Century bad habit

 This is annoying:

You are at a social event maybe or even just one on one with someone and a person that people may want to talk to is texting (Blogger says that I spelled "texting" wrong, I guess its a little behind in the times;)someone probably miles away (or worse, someone in another room nearby) and you just want to rip the cell phone out of there hands and yell, "We are right here!" After a while of them just occasionally looking up to make eye contact with someone socializing, people start to ignore that texting person because they know that they won't care. So pay attention to the people around you because pretty soon when you want attention from them they won't give it to you. Wise advice of the day my friends. Take it to thought.

Matthew 7:12

Another thought on texting :)

Broken Dreams

As children bring their broken toys
With tears for us to mend,
I brought my broken dreams to God,
Because He was my friend.
But then instead of leaving Him,
In peace to work alone,
I hung around and tried to help,
With ways that were my own.
At last, I snatched them back and cried,
"How can you be so slow?"
"My child," He said, "What could I do?
"You never did let go.

I Love this Poem! just reread it like fifty times 

He spent all of his time writing a letter to you....

Are you going to just throw that love letter away and never read it?

There is no, "he loves me not pedals" He loves you no matter what.

Exercise......?

Me: Jaret, give me inspiration to exercise
Jaret: It will make you healthy
Me: Why do I need to me healthy?
Jaret: Actually, don't exercise
Me: Huh?

Well that was weird, my little brother has different ideas.

I am pretty good at exercising but today I was not feeling up to it but I halfheartedly did it anyways.

I totally spaced out the other day. I space out a lot but this was like embarrassing and much bigger than usual. So I was on the bus ride home and the stop before mine, I took not that my stop was next was mine. So we get to my stop and I stare at the little market that I would be walking towards now if I was getting off. I stare at my stop and I have no idea what is running through my head; something about the future and Ocean (Hannah, only you would know.) Soon enough I feel the bus moving again and I think, “Oh, Becky is going a different way today.” Then I realize, I missed my stop. So I get up and the bus slows and I get off and have to walk along the busy road not the peaceful trail that I am used too. Better yet, I almost forget to cross the road into my neighborhood. Gah, I was so tired and everything hurt. But wait, it gets better. Kay fine not that much better but I accidently bit my Orthodontist when he told me I was getting rubber bands. Oops. So that was a weird day :)

But that’s ok

Happiest Place on Earth..:)

Whoever said Disneyland was the happiest place on earth has obviously never been inside a temple of the Lord. So I was privileged/ blessed to walk the halls and grounds of the Seattle Temple. I was able to take a step out of this stressful busy world and be in a place of peace and happiness; a place where I can feel perfectly safe and in tune with all the good things in life. I got to be with people I love. I felt good about myself like I was saving people’s lives (which I was). I received comfort and inspiration. To sum it all up, I LOVED IT WITH ALL MY HEART! I wish you were there to enjoy what a did (Which you can).

Note: Why are guys so much more attractive in the temple??

Just Never Grow Up

(continuation of Why not:http://itstartswithamessengerbag.blogspot.com/2011/10/why-not.html )

So I don't like the feeling of being old and being looked down upon because I have silly impossible ideas. We used to Run around overalls and bare feet and people just commented that you were cute so why wouldn't I still be cute if I ran around with overalls and pig tails and only one front tooth and no shower (or bath in those days) for a while? Why do people have to be so judgmental, it annoys me. If you remember being young again, you would enter your new kindergarten class and be all scared but literally you could be friends with everyone. No one really cared what you looked like or what gender you were they just asked you to join right in. Why are we not still like that, why do we form groups, why do some people shrink away in the halls, why do people laugh and yell and tease  on someone else? Why? The quote, "No one has ever lost anything by being nice," really plays nicely into this message to you'll. 

"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up. "

"A good character is the best tombstone.  Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered.  Carve your name on hearts, not on marble."  ~Charles H. Spurgeon

"It's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."

"Today, give a stranger one of your smiles.  It might be the only sunshine he sees all day."

"Treat everyone with politeness, even those who are rude to you - not because they are nice, but because you are."

 "What this world needs is a new kind of army - the army of the kind."  ~Cleveland Amory

"Don't be yourself - be someone a little nicer."  ~Mignon McLaughlin

"Be nice to me; I just got a root canal!"

So be nice, and accepting and you will be happier person. Believe me; take it from someone who knows. 

Keep the silly ideas

Me too........

A Strength is...

Some dumb website it said, "A Strength is a Strength", really? Did you go to college to learn that? Gosh, some things are just so dumb. Another said, "A strength is the ability to consistently provide perfect [best] performance in a specific activity." That is not TRUE. This made me so mad. If a strength was that then only like 1% of the world would have a strength because only one person can be the best at something. A teacher of mine helped me realize what the meaning of strength is; To me the real definition of a strength is something that you can do with confidence and enjoy yourself while you do it.  Along with, it is something you can change or improve on . SO being short or having blue eyes is not a weakness. For example, at school I had to write a list of my strengths and I wrote things like Writing, reading, painting, soccer, volleyball, running, photography……..blah blah blah. I like writing; I am not good at it. I like reading, but I am not the best (in fact I am "mildly" dyslexic". I like painting, but I have only finished one painting (does that show my skill or not?) Soccer; I love it and have been doing it for 9 years now and I am defiantly not the best. Volleyball; I enjoy doing it but I never really played on a team except school last year. Running; I just like being outside alone and the feeling I get after running, I can only run (that I know of) 1-8 miles in one session and that is not the best, there is crazy ladies that run a marathon after they just went through chemotherapy and such. Photography, do I have to go there, I don’t even have a Camera! Obviously I am not the best at any of these things and that is OK. So what are things you like doing? There, you have a strength :)

Love Your Blogging Friend,
