Life has been up and down in the last month. I’ve done a lot of Ebaying. I’ve hung out a lot with Kaitlynn. Our kitchen is getting remodeled. School has had it’s good and bad. Church has been fun, and now…. it’s spring break.

Spring break, full of fun and freedom. Sun and swimming. Friends and family. Well, that’s what it’s supposed to be. For me it means 12 days of Kaitlynn being gone, rain, and catching up on some homework. Hopefully I’ll get out with some friends, go on some bike rides, and a very slight possibility, receive the laptop that was sent to me from Texas from some guy that I bought it from 3 weeks ago.

Speaking of bike rides, I’ve been going on more lately…. more meaning 2. I took a bike ride a week ago on Friday when we didn’t have school. I rode for about an hour and a half. I figured out later (Using Google maps) that my bike ride was about 8 miles. It was quite interesting. When you are in a car, so often you just let the world pass you by, and you don’t comprehend or take it in. When you’re on a bike it’s different.  You have more freedom on a bike, you can go places a car can’t, head near things you want to check out and really get up close. That’s what I liked about it. It’s not like I saw anything amazing. I just got to be outdoors in God’s creation with a million other people going about their day. I got to experience life with no intention of having any place to go. It felt good. I got my energy out, I got to view some of God’s creation, but mostly, I got to view the world from another perspective. People become oblivious to their surroundings so often. I do it all the time. Going on the bike ride helped me to take it all in.

Now, our kitchen is getting redone. It’s interesting. That has changed my perspective to. It’s not only let me see different parts of the kitchen. It’s let me change my perspective of the whole house.

Then there is the camera I got. I received it Wednesday. A 4 mega pixel HP Photosmart M22, for $25.  Another perspective changer. Ordinary scenes in your everyday life become interesting when viewed in a picture. Train tracks and sunsets become all the much more appealing. The garbage that was left by a homeless person, becomes art. It’s truly amazing what a camera can do.

So through all this I’ve learned to change my perspective. I am trying hard to look at things differently. I have all of Spring break to do it. Hopefully I’ll do it now.  Sorry this was such a long post, but I haven’t written in a while. Hopefully I’ll do that more over spring break also.
