Beautiful

Cried during Glee tonight. It was a very touching episode. There was a part of the show where they sang the Christina Aguilera song "Beautiful" and they discussed being happy with who you are no matter what you look like. I was going to write a whole schpeal about feeling beautiful, but I'm not feeling it right now....instead, here are the lyrics to the song:

Beautiful

Spoken:
Don't look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, i saw debris
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I'm so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring me down
So don't you bring me down today

To all your friends, you're delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone left the puzzle undone
That's the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can't bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring you down
Don't you bring me down today...

No matter what we do
(no matter what we do)
No matter what they say
(no matter what they say)
When the sun is shining through
Then the clouds won't stay


And everywhere we go
(everywhere we go)
The sun won't always shine
(sun won't always shine)
But tomorrow will find a way
All the other times

'cause we are beautiful no matter what they say
Yes, words won't bring us down, oh no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can't bring us down
Don't you bring me down today

Don't you bring me down today
Don't you bring me down today

If you haven't watched Glee I highly recommend doing so...it's amazing!

I had a very productive day today. Mowed the grass, did the laundry, build a cat house, completed my homework, cleaned the house, and watched some news. Speaking of the news, apparently, there was a sub teacher who decided it would be a good idea to kiss her 5th grade male students and wear a bikini under her clothes. She showed her students her tan lines and bikini. Seriously, what's wrong with her? Makes me sick! She should be named a pedophile. Hopefully, justice will be served.

I better get to bed now. I have a feeling that tomorrow is going to be a rough day.

Answered Prayers

I was hoping to do one of these everyday, but that definitely didn't happen. It seems like I only do these when I have something more important to do that I want to procrastinate on doing. I catch myself constantly thinking about things I want to write on here, but then when I get home to write it I'm always too tired. I'm going to write about something that happened yesterday when I was working at Todds. We had just unlocked the door and we were getting ready for the evening. A man came in. Tyler went up to the register to see what he wanted and I continued making salads. I assumed he wanted to place an order, so I didn't pay attention to the conversation between them. When I asked Tyler what the man had wanted he told me that he just asked if we had any day-old pizza that we could give away. He took a free car catalog on the way out and asked if we knew when we would be getting more in because the one he took was the last one. I thought about that all night and even today. It caused me to wonder and become concerned. I didn't know this man, but I wanted to know his story. Why was he asking for food? Why did he want to know when we were getting more free catalogs in? Did he have a place to live? When was the last time he had eaten? Sometimes it's easier to not think about people who are struggling in this world. He was only one man. What if he had a family? I try to do my best to help out others whenever I can, but I often feel powerless in this world that has so much hunger, hate, pain and destruction. I can only do so much and I hope that my prayers are answered. I did not know the man who came into Todds yesterday, but he is a child of God. I hope and pray that God will do his best to take care of him.
