Day 10: what you wore today.
i hate this idea. i'm not one of those stylish bloggers. i don't dress particularly nice. i like style, i like looking at other people's clothes, and i think i can put cute outfits together, but...i don't feel like i can do it for myself. ridiculous right? i just have the hardest time combining all of my quirky strangeness into a style. it's frustrating for me.
so today.
i wore...
clothes. haha i'm so funny. right? right.
i wore dark skinny jeans--a daily staple.
a green 3/4 button down t-shirt looking thing.
black converse high tops.
and a bright purple belt.
wallah. magically stylish right? wrong. i promise to try on the next what you wore day. maybe...

Day 09: your beliefs.
oh i have so many.
i believe in my savior, Jesus Christ. that He died to atone for my sins. that He loves me very much. and that because of Him i will never be alone and i can return to my Father in heaven, who loves me too.

i believe family should always come first. that they are the few people we get to stick with for eternity and we better treat them like it.

i believe people are important. every one of them. and that you should treat them like it.

i believe luck is just giving yourself the benefit of the doubt. that you can do anything you put your mind to and are willing to work for.

i believe i can be whatever i want, as long as the Lord is on my side. and whether he is or not is entirely up to me.

i believe you can choose to shine. and no one can stop you once you make that choice.

i believe in putting myself in others shoes. of entertaining and attempting to understand their ideas, no matter how foreign they are to me, in order to better understand them.

i believe in having self-interest, and not allowing anyone to walk all over you. because you are a child of God. and they should know it.

i believe in having strong opinions. and admitting when you are wrong. as tough as that may be.

i believe in being true to myself. even when it's unpopular to be me.

i believe we all need something to believe in.

Day 08: a moment.
this one is hard. life is made of a zillion moments. how am i supposed to pick one?
ok i got it. now this is a re-occuring moment. one that i have every once in a while and that i am extremely grateful for.
there are those moments in my life when i realize how much i have, and how much i take for granted.
i had one of those slap me in the face again a couple of weeks ago and it was the best thing ever.

i was riding the bus home from work and i was stressing about some stupid something, much like i do everyday. to the point that i was in a no good, very bad, horrible kind of mood.
that's when i happened to stop my inward lamenting and look out the window.
what i saw made me want to cry.
there was a man, obviously homeless, bending down to pick one of the first dandy-lions of spring.
this man has nothing. he probably doesn't know where his next meal is coming from, and yet he has the time to enjoy God's creations on this earth. i have so much, and yet i felt no gratitude at the world Heavenly Father has created for me. this man did.
it amazed me. and helped me find my way to my knees that night to tell my Father that i am indeed grateful.
moments like those are what make a life.

Day 07: your best friend.
that's easy. let's just say i got real lucky in the best friend lottery. it's not always that a best friend stays constant. many of us have several "best friends" in our lives. because people change and grow apart.
there are however a few people that always have to love you forever no matter what you do. your family.
my lucky streak held strong when my family was picked. and i got all my best/closest friends for eternity.
my very best friend though, is one micah lennis jones.

that basically sums up our relationship. he's the only person i never, ever am afraid to tell everything. i never feel judged by him, and i know he loves me. i mean he has to. it's the law.

Day 06: my day.
i'm not at all positive what this means. if i had a day to myself i have to be honest and say there is nothing i love more than doing nothing. so that would be my day.
however; if there was a holiday made just for me...well i feel like one already was.
the day of all days for one lyndsie jones is thanksgiving.
i love this holiday above all others.
every thanksgiving is basically the same in my family, and i never want it to change.
the day before i go shopping with my mom, and i help to make pies and such with my ma.
on the day of all days, we go up to my grandfathers. he lives up hobble creek canyon. where there is always snow and no cell phone service. it's perfect.
we make and consume a giant thanksgiving feast with my whole family, and much of my extended family.
after the feast it is time for naps and a nice nature walk.
then comes my favorite part.
we set up the recording equipment.
much of my family is musically talented. especially my uncle. he brings the equipment, and every year we record a cd. it is the best. wild things often happen. like grandpa yodeling in the background of you are my sunshine. or ian and micah rapping out grandma got ran over by a reindeer.
basically the whole day is full of fun, food, and family. all the things i could never live with out.
so...if there was a day dedicated to me, it would be a thanksgiving do-over. and it would be fabulous.

Day 05: my definition of love.
let us be sappy. actually let us not. i do like being as hopelessly romantic as the next gal, but that's just because it's part of my personality. i love to love. but, i feel like a lot of girls my age tend to blow up love and "true love" to be a much bigger, more complicated thing than it is.
so here's what i think.
love is liking yourself more when you are around a certain person. it's being so comfortable that you can say something ridiculously stupid and just laugh it off rather than feel stupid. it's being willing, and wanting to do anything to make that other person more comfortable, or even just to see them smile. love is work. you won't always agree, and fights will be had, but you will work it out and carry on cause you love each other. and that's just how it works.
love is between a man and a woman.
love is between roommates and girlfriends.
love is between silly siblings.
love is between a mother and child.
a father and child.
anyone and anyone.
love can be, and is, something you can have with anyone you want to love.
obviously there is love where you kiss, and the love where you don't. but i feel like that's the main distinction between the two.
if i say i love you, it's always true. if i don't say i love you, don't worry. i probably do.

Day 04: what i ate. well that's super boring. so let's talk about what i ate, and what i was doing while eating. less boring.

Breakfast: i ate a bowl of the cap'n. much as i do every day. while eating the cap'n i was watching the cartoon invader zim. ever seen it? it's ridiculous. probably one of the wierdest cartoon's made, which usually means it's one of the favorites. invader zim is second only to spongebob squarepants. i'm four. so sue me.

Lunch: for lunch i went to olive garden. every wedneday is "daddy day". my grandpa takes my mom out to lunch. it's turned into an everyone who can come, comes. it's fabulous. today was grandpa, me, ian & april, cody & sara, and my ma. it was a joyous time. sugar was thrown. my grandpa said my hair was ugly and fought with the waiter, and brandon davis was discussed at length. oh and i ate cheese raviolii with half marinara sauce and half alfredo sauce. delish.

Dinner: for dinner i started with a side of strawberry applesauce. then continued with a light palet cleanser of a s'mores granola bar. followed by the leftovers of my raviolii. this was all consumed while i was working. very boring. but luckily there was much to do so there ya go.

Night night snack: more delicious apple sauce and flavored water. partaken of whilst having way too much ridiculous fun with my roomie mates. fabulous.

ending now.
