Dear Billing Department,

Hi there, its Kelsey, its probably silly to introduce myself because I know you know me, you send me stuff all the time. I just thought I would tell you thank you. Its so considerate of you to include an envelope in every bill you send me. It just flatters me that you would help me out like that. Thanks so much
Love,
Kelsey

Motivational Posters

Today at the doctors office I happened to notice the motivational posters they hang in their offices. Okay so I notice them all the time but I need some comedic relief so I am going to write about the posters. In the one room there are three posters. One of them shows a aerial view of a golf course and it says something about inspiration. Then there is another one that shows a scenic mountain view and it says leadership. I don't remember the other one but it is equally as bad. First things first, golf courses are not inspirational to me. That's not even sort of nice. And mountains and streams have absolutely nothing to do with leadership. And why do we need to inspire patients to have leadership in a doctor's office. If you really wanted to motivate me you have a few options. Put a picture up of someone doing the silly exercises you give me and them actually feeling better! Now that would change my life. Or put up a TV and play The Sound of Music, or at least pipe in the soundtrack so I can listen to it. Maybe even just have a little TV that plays little clips of other people doing the stretches that way I have someone to laugh at, and just please please stop putting up those silly posters!

Singing in the Shower

As most people know I am an avid car singer. I just can't help myself, I sing out. Radio up as loud as it will go, and me singing just a smidge quieter than that. I am pretty sure every one knows this, but I think everyone is probably embarrassed for me as they pass me while driving to see me singing at the tops of my lungs, a quite passionate version of This is How We Roll. Florida Georgia Line thanks again for that one! Anyway today I made a leap in my singing habits. I sang in the shower. Now you have to understand that for a long time this is pretty much the only time I was a silent listener of music. I admit I usually chuckled at the sound of my roommates singing their heart out. But today I have changed my ways! Today I have become a shower singer, okay maybe just a stress shower singer. That seemed to be the only way to feel better, and man oh man did it work!

A Spoonful of Sugar #2

The second spoonful of sugar wasn't done by me, but I did observe it. A guy came to where I work to make a donation. He explained to me that they were taking donations outside of the store and when he came out they weren't there anymore so he drove to our location all to give us one box of granola bars. He drove all the way there. It made me so happy!

A Spoonfull of Sugar #1

I kind of really want to change the world. I don't know quite why I have a fascination with changing the world, but I want to make it a better place. I want to see good things, I want to do good things. Although I can't change the whole world all at once, I still think I can make a big difference. A spoonful of sugar is my way of saying that although the world is sometimes a scary place, and a lot of bad things happen we can still have lots of good things happen. And I can do a lot of good things. Here is my good thing for today.
Today I worked with a person at my job, like I always do. But today was different, I went above and beyond. I did things that no one else was willing to do. I spent a lot of time focused on something that was really hard for this person, but something that will help them. I tried to be patient and kind, I worked hard so this person could do things that aren't normally available to them. I offered them my Spoonful of sugar. I changed the world today.

Hey There!

Hello,
Hey there, hi, how's it goin'
I have gotten really good at awkward encounters as of late. More like awkward reuniting. In case you didn't know, didn't follow my Pinterest page, or haven't seen the pictures on Facebook, I am home. It's true. I left on my mission on the 6th of November and came back home mid December. I am home to figure things out with a pesky leg problem and then most likely return to Colorado Springs. I am so weary writing this, I will openly admit to hiding. I kept my presence low on all social media (I make myself sound so cool or famous or something, but really I didn't like anything on Facebook for like a month, but don't check my Pinterest, because I pinned 899,090 pictures of cows since I have been home.), I preferred not to see people and just kept to myself. Honestly it was because I thought I would be back out before people could notice. I know that is silly but you hold onto hopes like that sometimes. Really I just want to write this because I went on a mission! It was for a whole month, and it was one of the best experiences ever! I learned a lot! And the experience set me up to handle the next challenges and trials in my life. When you see me, when we awkwardly reunite our friendship that we thought was being put on hold for longer than it really was, please, ask me about the people I met, ask me about Colorado Springs. And for some sound words advice from my favorite movie, The Sound of Music: "You're lucky with Fraulein Helga it was a snake." Frau Schmidt. That is all!



*Anywho, I love you!*
