Not a very exciting post, just an update on a Lazy Sunday.
Like I said, this is just going to be a little recap of my day. Nothing special, but I will keep my dedicated fans satisfied.
Yeahhh....
Anyways, I went to bed last night after finally finishing last night's post at about 2, but not before reading a text from the ward choir director reminding us that we're meeting at 8:25 to practice the song we sang in church today. Normally this wouldn't be a big deal except I'm the choir pianist. So I have no choice to but to be there on time ready to go. This put a real damper on my evening and I ended up only getting about 5 hours of sleep last night. When I woke up this morning, I showered, decided not to shave, and went to put my contacts in. This morning was one of those where I look at my contacts and think "If I put those in my eyes, I'll be placing my eye balls in the very fires of hell." So, I wore my glasses today. While I like to think I look like this:
I probably look more like this:
So I avoid wearing them as much as possible.
I can honestly say I don't remember church. I know I went...I just don't remember anything else about it...hope I played the choir song good. I am grateful and proud to be a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Maybe this blog will make me famous and they'll ask me to do one of those "I'm a Mormon" ads! "Hi, I'm Alex. I'm a professional polo jockey, 3 time Senator, former child star, and rare coin collector. And I'm a Mormon." That's enough to convert the state of Rhode Island!
I went home for dinner today. It's always nice to visit the family; especially when your sister insists on keeping the spotlight directly on her the entire evening. Always makes for some interesting conversations. I don't think we fully appreciate the value of having a family until we are alone and trying to fend for ourselves. We so often take for granted those most important in our lives. A very close friend of mine lost her great grandma yesterday; she told me they were practically best friends. Now, the closest person I have ever lost to death would have to be my Grandpa, but I was only 4 years old. I don't think I've completely gotten my head around the concept of death. It definitely doesn't sound fun for everyone. That's why it's probably easy for me to say that they're happier in heaven where they aren't held down by mortal limitations. But regardless, I know that for a fact. The beauty of life is that goodbye is never really goodbye unless you want it to be. One day, we'll get to see our loved ones that we lost again. One day, I'll get to see my Grandpa again; that's a day I can't wait for.
To wrap this post up tonight, I wanted to share a video I found a couple of weeks ago. One of my friends has a bit of a love affair with words; and I can't help but to agree with her. Words can be so many different things; deep, intense, shallow, pathetic, insightful, inspiring...the list goes on and on. Utilizing these words can create a beautiful picture mentally, and visually.
