Rainy Day

It is another rainy day. Rain is so beautiful. Whenever it rains, I open my window and I love to hear the sound of the rain. It's just so peaceful in it's own way. It's like mother nature's tears. Each drop is just as special as the next.

Sometimes people don't appreciate things as much because they are so ordinary. Of course, rain is a normal thing. But, I think we should all be thankful for it. If it weren't for rain, we would probably be in a permanent drought. It's so important to our daily lives. The next time you see rain, you should stop and be thankful for it, no matter how ordinary it is.

Beyond the Image

Lately, I have been thinking of seeing beyond the image. I have always been interested in analyzing people, and seeing who they truly are on the inside. People may see you as someone who is funny, or smart, but at home you're just a quiet person who doesn't seek attention. Or, it could be the exact opposite.

We can never really know one person too well. People are complex and mysterious creatures. But, it is obvious that the world would be boring if we knew everything! I think that more people should try and see others beyond what they see. People may accuse you of being something you're not when they don't even know you.

Even with shy people, if you are nice, they might open up. Everyone has living, beating hearts. We all deserve to feel like we belong. It is always good to see people in a way that other people wouldn't even think of seeing them!

Paintings from the Heart

There are many artists out there. My Mom, Maria Linardatou, is one of those very talented artists. She definitely paints from the heart. Making most of her paintings abstract, you have to look carefully to find the true meaning. Painting has always been her passion and she loves doing it. You can view some of her artwork on her website linked above, or you can see some of her paintings in the post above this. Please enjoy!

Another Beginning

Here we are again, with another beginning. As we all know, March brings the beginning of spring. The time where the flowers start blooming, and people frolic through the fields! Just kidding! We don't live in the 1930s. Of course, people can still frolic in the fields, and there is nothing wrong with picking flowers!

But, the year has gone by so fast! I can't believe it! It seemed like yesterday that I woke up to the beginning of a new year. Time really flies. It seems as though when you're not paying attention, it goes by quickly. But, when you are in class, you are just itching for the bell to ring. Of course, it seems like and eternity until it rings. That can be really annoying. It applies to the same concept of loosing things when you need them!

It is so aggravating when I am looking for something, and I can't find it. I know I have seen it before, but now that I want it, guess what?-it's gone! Sometimes life operates in funny ways. But, one day, I am sure we will all benefit from some of those funny ways. Believe it or not...most of the things that happen in our lives happen for a reason...
