The Paper Route
I am a paper route carrier
Unfortunately this picture is not at all what its like...
First of all the time is wrong instead of 8:30 Its more like 5:45
Second, there is no one outside waving to me, probably because its 5:45
So basically its a lot colder, darker, and that bag of hers looks way too light!!
This is the bag I use... that circle in the middle is where my Head goes the flaps go on either side, front and back. The papers size's are whatever they are usually Sundays is HUGE! and Mondays is small, Thursdays are BIG but not as BIG as Sunday...
The paper comes at like 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning.... wouldn't want THAT job ;-)
It comes in a big stack that is called "The Bundle" I don't know if you can see in this picture but there is a blue cord thingy around the "Bundle" and its there every day.....
There is a paper that comes on top of the bundle called "The Bundle Top"(Huh! Imagine that!) It tells us who stoped, who's on vacation, who started, etc...

Leadership
Remember five posts ago I said "to be continued" (about leadership?) Well here it go's....
Today in Vanguard we had a class on Leadership (Its called leadership accadamy, well, I LOVED IT!! It was so awesome! Everyone shared some great insights and I go to share my poem (see on "The Blog of Random Poems") I Learned a-ton! We were talking about (Be it true or false) We think we will be able to talk spirit, to spirit, in Hevean, Which is why we need to control our thoughts down here on earth so we can still be in control of them in Heaven....just thought that was an interesting thought! In Vanguard we learn to become leaders, (because in public school there learning to be followers).

Speech and Debate class (again)
I'm liking the speech class, well so far. I'm still not sure what I think about the "tournaments" that we do, my first tournament is on November, 2, 2012. I'm so nervous I don't think I'll like it. But all well! There are 9 or 10 kids in my class, (including me), there are 4 girls and 5 or 6 boys. I think this class makes me hate debate even more! But I'll try to become better ;-). I'll let you more later!

Sunshine
Sunshine
Websters dictionary 1828
"The light of the sun, or the place where it shines; the direct rays of the sun, or the place where they fall."
Thesaurus
Sunlit, Sunshiny, Smiling :), Bright, Radiant.
My thoughts
Sunshine is bright, It is a light from the sun which is so bright we can't even look at it. When Joseph Smith describes the first vision he says "There was a light directly over my head, and its brightness was above the noon day sun" the "noon day sun" is really bright! But If Heavenly Fathers light is brighter then the noon day sun . . . it must be pretty bright! That reminds me of a primary song "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam" according to our Thesaurus sunbeam is just another way of saying sunlight!
The Prophets words
We can turn from the paths which would lead us down and, with a song in our hearts, follow a star and walk toward the light. We can quicken our step, bolster our courage, and bask in the sunlight of truth.

Mac and cheese, Piano and Choir!
The piano group I am in is called MAC and CHeese!! Which is why I have two pictures above(well I really have three :)), One of Mac and cheese and one of a piano! My Piano teacher Is also my choir teacher! I Love Music! Our choir group is all home schooled and I know everyone who is my age. My piano group Is interesting, the way we're taught is called simply music. I believe that it started in Australia, and has grown over the years. The "group" I'm in is called like i said "MAC and CHeese" There are 4 girls in it Me, Annabannana, Snickerdoddle and KittyKat. My name starts with M so I'm the M in Mac, Annabannanas name starts with A so shes the A in mAc. Snickerdoddles name starts with C so she is the C i maC. And KittyKats name starts with CH so shes the CH in CHeese. (We came up with the name :)).
Speech & Debate Class
I am taking a speech & a debate class, I'm kinda nervous. But I'm still excited! My friend, Sissa is taking it with me, and spicedoddle might be taking it to! I like speech, but I'm not sure about debate, I don't like arguments . . . at all. But I've taken speech before. (And a little bit of debate
) I've enjoyed it, mostly .
I will let you know how It go's! (Today's the first day). It should be lots of fun!

PROS!!!. . . Oh and a tid bit about leadership!
Has anyone ever said to you, Your a pro! Being a Pro is more then just being an expert at something, it also stands for something else . . . .
P
"P" stands for Prayer we always need to pray, for forgiveness, for gratefulness, for help, for others, there are so many things to pray for.
R
"R" stands for read the scriptures. We all need to not only read but to Really study and ponder the scriptures.
O
"O" stands for obey the strength for youth pamphlet. It has some great stuff in there and if you have not read it yet, it should be next on your list!
S
"S" stands for what do you think? Smile! I explained most of this in my last post but really to be "PROS" we need to smile.
What makes a good leader? Is a good leader a pro? Does a good Leader Pray? Does a good leader Read the scriptures? Does a good leader Obey "For The Strength Of Youth" Pamphlet? Does a good leader Smile?
So What were your answers? Well I can tell you, from the 3rd question down the answer is YES!! Yes a good leader is a pro. WAIT! Does that mean i can't be a leader unless I'm a pro?! Nope. I can still be a leader, but I can't be a GOOD leader. Can you see the key word there? Or should I make it bigger? Here . . . I can still be a leader but I can't be a GOOD Leader!!!!
So how do you become a good leader? How do you recognise a bad leader? . . . I'll talk about that later . .
TO BE CONTINUED . . . .

Smiling
Did you see my little Binky about smiling? It says Smiling confuses people. Which can be true, have you ever been walking around the grocery store and you see someone who's smiling? You might think, "Why are they smiling?" But then if you think a little further, Why not? Why walk around the store pushing you cart and frowning? We're blessed to be able to go to the grocery store and buy what we need. Wouldn't make a difference if everyone smiled at the grocery store? doesn't it make a difference if you go to the checkout stand and there is a happy, smiling checker there waiting to help you?
What about in the car? You know when you stop at the stoplight and you and the person in the next car look at each other, and your both frowning, and you look away and keep driving? Why not just look over and smile? It will not only make you happier but them to even if there having a bad day!
You can make your self happier! How? By smiling! Its amazing, try it. Next time every things going wrong and nothings working out, Smile! It works!
Have you ever heard of Meg Johnson? Here's her website: http://www.megjohnsonspeaks.com/ She is amazing! she came to speak to us this year at girls camp, I loved it! She always is smiling and laughing! So go to her website and you can love her to. She has some funny smiling experiences too.
Try Smiling, It Works! :-)

The New Blog
A friend and I started a blog recently called "The Random Poem Blog!" where we post all our poems we write. This all started around the beginning of the summer when i sent a email to her that said . . .
(the subject to the email was: "nonsense poem")
"One thing to be, two things to try, to all who would but be three to buy,
But why?
When all but I should try try try, But all who would cry cry cry,
But why?
Oh all but I could try not cry then I could try and try not cry,
But why?
To try try try all day and night and try and try and try and try,
That's why!"
She asked me if there was a meaning to the poem and i said "no not really its just a nonsense poem!"
That was the beginning, she emailed one, and i emailed one back. On and on it went, until i couldn't keep tract of them all, so i asked her if we could make a book out of them all she said she thought it was a great idea. So we did we named it "The MC Poem Book". But after we made it the poems just stopped coming and going, I wondered what we were going to do if one of us thought up another great poem and wanted to put it in the book! We had decided we would just email each other the poem we made and each of us would have to print it out and glue it in there book. It wasn't that great of an idea so we started the blog! We will post all of the poems we have written and any more we come up with! Some of the poems will be scary and some exciting!
When we were writing the poems (by email) we would have each other guess the meaning of the poem, so on our blog we are going to have the readers guess what they thing the poem means (by posting a comment) after they guess we will tell them the answer (also by comment). I will admit there were a few my friend wrote that i thought "What?! What can THIS mean?" But in the end when she told me it made seance!
Hope you drop by and read some of our Random Poems!

Vanguard youth!!!!!
Today in Vanguard we were talking about poems and after I got home I was thinking about Vanguard and I thought up a -sort of- poem.
Here it is . . .
"Vanguard, It Is Awesome!
Art, Geo, History, Memorization, Journeymen, I Love It All!
But My Favorite Is At The Very End Not Lunch, (As You May Think)
My Favorite Is Re-flec-tion where everything just meets.
You make lots of connections and ahas are bright!
It all seems different with reflection and every thing seems right!"
It is so important to reflect I try to do it at night as I wright in my journal.
Another thing we talked about is Gratitude.
And we just wrote lots of things down that we were (are) grateful for. I feel now the importance of gratitude, and am now going to try to keep a gratitude journal :).
Here it is . . .
