I have a very bad headache and I am so nauseaus. I usually only feel like this on long drives, but for a while now my head has been pounding. I think its probably because I am dehydrated and a deficiency in iron. I don't know, but my head just hurts. Anyway, this day still currently means nothing to me. I mean the holiday, not the day, you understand. I'm not sad, really. I want some flowers for my room though, just a thought. Well here is another portion for my never ending poem.

Who gives about it other than those who truly are in love and want to celebrate it. more to you, but for the rest of us who do not want to celebrate it, it is a drag.

I have so many things that I have to do and sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by them. This is about the only time that I have found so far that I have been able to even go online and check on all of the things that I have to check on; namely my bills. Anyway, I so can't wait for the semester to be over. At least, I can't wait for spring break. I plan to go up north for about 4 days or so.  I just hope that it wont be so cold when I get there. I seem to always fill my days at school even when I'm not in school, I still have so much homework and other stuff to do for it. Oh well. Here is a little poem or something...&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I stood and watched as the world passed me by...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I carried a heavy load and it would not be lighter...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I wonder what you thought of me...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Or did you even see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;The nights are getting colder...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I'm getting lonelier...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I think, maybe...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Some other time perhaps...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;I guess that's it...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;No more, no less...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Later you'd see...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;That it was me right there watching along with you...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;Well later all.

Anyway, my first day back to school is tomorrow and I do not really feel like going. I was stressed out last semester, although, God did truly bless me last semester. I was able to get straight A's in my final grade and it truly showed God's grace to me because it was the toughest and most challenging semester for me ever. I am almost finish with school, but I am debating whether or not to double major, get a minor, or go to work and then graduate school. I am still not sure what I want to do yet. Oh well. More later.

Later and blessings to all. bYE&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8001502195297470792-4989516000551711544?l=lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/feeds/4989516000551711544/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8001502195297470792&amp;postID=4989516000551711544&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/4989516000551711544'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/4989516000551711544'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/2008/01/what-mess.html' title='What a Mess!!!'/><author><name>Grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02491099635778134652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001502195297470792.post-7328513917420827977</id><published>2008-01-03T17:26:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-03T17:34:51.151-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holidays'/><title type='text'>The Dawn of a New Year</title><content type='html'>The new year has arrived and time seems to be flying at a rapid rate. I remember when I was in high school and now it seems as though time has just flown and I am at a stand still. It is 2008 and if one were to look at the number 8 horizontally, it looks like an infinity sign doesn't it. Anyway, the holidays mean that we all hang out with family and friends and and stuff ourselves full of food containing so much calories. I was like most and ate so much. I even went to two parties back to back on new years day, not counting the party I went to new years eve, It is such a trial to refuse to eat, so I always end up eating a little here and there. My friend and I went to this one store that she introduced me too and I ended up purchasing exercise equipment; namely a large ball and a mat. I already have dumbbells and weights at home. It is my goal to start the year of right. I haven't used the items yet, but I will soon. I've been shopping too and I also plan to stop that by leaving my credit cards at home and keeping only one for emergencies with me. Anyway, I will write more later. It is hard to write everyday, but I will try to not let it deter me. So later all and God bless. May His grace and mercy be with everyone. &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8001502195297470792-7328513917420827977?l=lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/feeds/7328513917420827977/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8001502195297470792&amp;postID=7328513917420827977&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/7328513917420827977'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/7328513917420827977'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/2008/01/dawn-of-new-year.html' title='The Dawn of a New Year'/><author><name>Grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02491099635778134652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001502195297470792.post-4397814375823036431</id><published>2007-12-28T20:10:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-28T20:23:28.399-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='shopping excursions'/><title type='text'>Another day at the mall</title><content type='html'>Yesterday, my family and I went to three different malls as well as a shopping center. Today we went to one mall and a shopping center. It was a very busy time of shopping. We spent almost three hours in the mall. I bought alot of things again. They have the best deals this week because of the after christmas sales. Shopping is great especially when there are deals to be had. The mall was packed today and yesterday and it was somewhat disconcerting to find that the malls were filled because it is weekdays and it is earlier in the day. Oh well, shopping is fun either way its just irritating when you have to wait a long time in the lines. More later...I'm about to go out shopping again.  On second thought, I should leave my credit cards behind so that I don't shop 'till I drop. I'm going to have to think about it I guess.

These words are death and white. It is the symbolism of the word that creates the response. Black for death is a symbol of the end of a life, end of a time, suffering and so on and so forth. White for black is just the opposite of the color and its entire meaning. White is a happy color and not as dreary as the color black. In regards to cars, I have been told that dirt shows up more on a black car than it does a white car. Pretty random information isn't it. Oh well. Later and more randomness at another time.

I planned to go to this one particular mall because it had two of the stores that I wanted to visit. I had coupons to these stores and I wanted to take advantage of them. I purchased alot of this at low prices and I was very happy with my purchases. We then decided, my friends and I (my family), to visit another mall and see if a certain bag by Michael Kors was there. The bag was not there and so, we walked around the mall and I bought some make up. We then decided that we wanted to go to Circuit City to see if a N 800 or a n810 was there and a couple other things. Well, the store did not have the items on hand, so right now at home they are on the internet looking for those things. Back to shopping, after Circuit City, we went to the last mall of the day and I ended up buying 17 pieces of clothing at New York &amp;amp; Company because the store was closing in that area and all items were 70 to 80 percent off. That was an awesome deal and I was very happy with my purchases. I just alot of money though. I plan on not going to any more malls for a while because christmas and after christmas shopping has so wiped my credit cards out. They seriously need a break. I do too. Well this is the extent of my shopping for today. We went to so many stores in the amount of time that we spent outside and that was about 6 1/2 hours. It has been an awesome day so far. I am tired at the moment and I will be resting soon. Later all and God bless.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8001502195297470792-3601785343260480887?l=lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/feeds/3601785343260480887/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8001502195297470792&amp;postID=3601785343260480887&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/3601785343260480887'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/3601785343260480887'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/2007/12/day-at-malls.html' title='a day at the malls'/><author><name>Grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02491099635778134652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001502195297470792.post-9158234772096180877</id><published>2007-12-24T22:41:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-24T22:50:54.339-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Holidays'/><title type='text'>So what did you get?</title><content type='html'>The date is December 24, 2007 and it is Christmas Eve. We are currently celebrating the holiday by stuffing our mouths full of so much food and opening presents too. I was thinking of another time and another place where my family and I were also opening up presents. When I first signed on to the web, I saw a site for the best way to rewrap and regift presents that you've received this season. I hope that everyone received a gift that they truly like and appreciate, if not, just know that it is better to give than it is to receive. Also, remember that this season is not about the gifts or the parties or the general chaos that usually happens, but about the savior's birth. Take care everyone and God bless.

I knew this person and it saddens me to know how this person died. I know that life is hard and with the holiday season it is even harder for some people, but to commit the ultimate act is just so depressing. Imagine thinking that your life is so ahead of you and then finding yourself thinking of your mortality. It reminds me of when my classmate died in a car accident and I found out about it. It seems that death would always be around and it is not that I am immune to knowing it, it is just my not wanting to think about it. I know that I am not explaining myself so clearly right now. Oh well. All that we can all do is to just seek after God and to trust in him and know that he knows how everything will turn out. Take care everyone and celebrate each and everyday in happiness and joy, leaving anger far behind and forgetting all trespasses.

Most of us are using credit cards too to buy those gifts. We are becoming so much in debt that is it any wonder that we are so stressed during the holidays. The holidays is one of the most stressful times on the year for anyone and I can't imagine anyone not being stressed whether it is a good kind or bad kind of stress. Having to budget and what not is such a hassle. Wondering whether or not I have enough money in the bank and how much more I can use on my credit card gives me such a headache, but I like to shop and I only ever really do this type of shopping on Christmas so I somewaht mollify myself and those around me with that excuse, I guess. Turning on the television I see so many infomercials and weight loss products for sale that I have now barely turned on the television, there is nothing much to see on it anyway. Well, more of thoughts later. Comment if you wish on any of my blogs, I like to read what people think.

I don't know who really, but it was a really important person whom he reminded me of. Oh well, maybe I'll see whoevever it is and remember again next time. ... Next thought. I wonder if anyone ever wonders who came up with the letters on a keyboard. I mean, why is it that the main keys are a, s, d, f, j, k, l, ;, and not some other letters. Why do we learn to type the way we do in all of the computer classes that we take? My teacher probably told me the reason why, but I highly doubt it. So here I am typing in the correct manner in a moderate speed and I remember when I use to just pluck the keys using only two fingers, my index fingers. Now, I can't really type like that because I am no longer use to it. Random thoughts for the random events of life. A smiley face for you :). I'm looking out the window and the day is bright and sunny and I should probably go outside instead of being cooped up inside infront of the computer. I do plan on going outside though, really. Another quick thought...the news today is so depressing.  Most of the news seems to be centered on celebrities and their lives as well as gossip and innuendos. It has gone completely crazy lately I think. Well enough for now. Later again.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8001502195297470792-5816902383050008411?l=lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/feeds/5816902383050008411/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8001502195297470792&amp;postID=5816902383050008411&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/5816902383050008411'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/5816902383050008411'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/2007/12/thoughts-for-now.html' title='Thoughts for now'/><author><name>Grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02491099635778134652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8001502195297470792.post-1905888910577506709</id><published>2007-12-13T15:43:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-13T15:58:26.242-05:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='opinion'/><title type='text'>How was your day?...!</title><content type='html'>Everyday, you go around and people will most likely ask you 'how was your day?' Well, here is my answer. My day was the same as it was yesterday. I woke up, got dressed, drove around, ate, and now getting ready to go to work.  Life is great and things within in it are great, but sometimes, I want a change from the norm, to see a different world or something like that. I was watching a movie and the main thing in the movie was that the people traveled through time, well their memories did. If we could physically travel through time, what would we change? Would we still go to war, fight, make up, fight again, and use up valuable resources or would we be smart enough to leave things as they are, to appreciate the good things in life. Do we go around ignoring people, thinking that they don't care or do we simply just exist? Life is life and everything within it is just a part of the life that we have. No more no less.  Here is a quote I recently remembered by Descartes..."I think therefore I am." Think, breate, exist and coexist in happiness and harmony filled with grace.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/8001502195297470792-1905888910577506709?l=lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/feeds/1905888910577506709/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=8001502195297470792&amp;postID=1905888910577506709&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/1905888910577506709'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8001502195297470792/posts/default/1905888910577506709'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://lifeandforevergrace.blogspot.com/2007/12/how-was-your-day.html' title='How was your day?...!'/><author><name>Grace</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02491099635778134652</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
