Lessons, joys, etc // Week 7



Lessons:
 ~ In this fallen world, death, while awful for those left behind, is necessary. Stop and think for a second what would actually happen if YOU didn't die. You would be stuck, standing still in a changing world. What would happen if NO-ONE died? Hitler would still be alive. There would be practically no newness, no fresh starts. And for Christians... death is gain (Philippians 1:21).
 ~ Emotions are fleeting (I really think I learn this again ever week...).
 ~ Goals are a good idea. Not to mention better than 'resolutions.' 


Joys:
 ~ "Tuck Everlasting" by Natalie Babbit. (This is where I learnt some of the above stuff about death/immortality.)
 ~ Finishing my Learner driving hours!
 ~ Arranging nail polish bottles.
 ~ NYE plans.
 ~ Cousins playing 'Marco-Polo' in the pool.
 ~ SodaStream drinks (e.g. green creaming soda - psychologically deifying, but good).
 ~ Dutch 'oil balls' dipped in icing sugar.
 ~ Jumping in the pool on midnight.
 ~ Mango + raspberry sorbet.
 ~ Lasagne.
 ~ Awesome tripod.
 ~ Ping-pong games on our new ping-pong table.
 ~ Being asked to stay back at work.
 ~ Making snickerdoodles (see picture) with siblings.
 ~ Mango + banana + a few mulberries smoothie.
 ~ Photographing snickerdoodles.
 ~ Colossians. 
 ~ "This Present Darkness" waiting for me to read it.
