Have I mentioned . . .

How much I LOVE chivalrous men?

A while back I was trying to find some information from the institute and decided running into the office would be the best way to find it so I headed for the doors. I did notice a guy to my right walking towards the doors too but I was walking fast because I wanted to get the information. As I approached the doors he hurriedly hit the handicap button to open the door. When I said thanks he said you're welcome and that he had seen he wasn't going to make it in time to actually open it himself. I am happy it was that important to him to get the door for me. :)

Then today I was walking into Old Main and there was a guy in front of me. He swung the door open AND checked behind him to see if someone was there so as not to just let the door close . . . THEN he opened the next set of doors and waited for me to go through. This is HUGE at USU as most people just open the door wide enough to squeeze through it themselves . . . why? I have still never figured that one out. So if there are men reading this, know I notice and I love it! - And I don't think I am too out of control if I changed the I's to we's and included the majority of women.

Autumn

Oh autumn, how I love you and your colors, smells, weather, and long sleeves.

Today was one of those days that was just a happy day which I have a lot of but I want to highlight some of the things that helped with this today:

1. I got to sleep in AND had had a REALLY long dream which I am still deciding if it was good or not - it was rather odd.
2. My Physics teacher announced he would fix our test scores with one question that now I receive full credit with.
3. I got to nap on the Quad.
4. I walked out of my last class for the day and got a free compliment on my smile from some random guy.
5. I enjoyed and shared someone chocolate.
6. I got a text that said "I love you more"
7. My Facebook status was changed by my friend Bethany.
8. I talked to my mom
9. I watched my friend Michelle draw her Halloween costume out and then continue to design mine as well.
10. I got to see this picture that my friend Tyson took at his mom's wedding . . .

And so many other things . . . life is so GREAT!

One Day

I LOVE YOU!

BrIgHtEr DaY!

If you remember a few posts ago I gave the link to givesmehope.com and well today while at work my co-worker shared mylifeisaverage.com which is set up similarly.

The difference - gives me hope provides happiness through inspirational things and people and my life is average simply provides things to laugh and smile at. Pretty much it's a great past time if you need to pass time! :) Enjoy!

Imagine . . .

"Imagination is more important than knowledge. For while knowledge defines all we currently know and understand, imagination points to all we might yet discover and create." - Albert Einstien

That quote really is amazing and true! I think imagination is incredibly important to each of our lives - young or old. I want to share an experience that I had last week while walking home from work after a week of back to school.
I was walking home from work and was near the Quad on Utah State's campus. Four people were jogging a woman, a man, and two young teenage boys (not sure if they were all family but pretty sure most of them were). They had all slowed down near Old Main and then realized they were close to their destination so the woman and man took off again and the boys followed. One of them lagged behind a little and as he was running past one of the buildings he stopped and took a few steps backward, peered through a little corner spot of trees and bushes, and then proceeded THROUGH the bushes as if suddenly on an adventure. This made my whole day and I smiled the whole way home. I don't really know if I got to watch his mind kick into imagination mode while he took off on a quick adventure or not but that's what it appeared like to me and just the thought of seeing that transition made me so HaPpY. I LOVE imaginations!

It's hard to find a photo of a boy in the woods and I quite like this one.

"Imagination will often carry us to worlds that never were. But without it we go nowhere." -Carl Sagan
