Selective Forgetfulness

10 Things to Be Happy About

1. Marrying Your Best Friend - I think that knowing that one can marry their best friend makes life easier because you get along with that person very well and you know that even though you fight you can work things out. It's like they said in Valentine's Day, you get along best with the person that knows you best.

2. True Romantics - I don't know if these exist but they are always fun to watch in the movies. I think that love can last forever but everyone needs to work hard at it and those people that end up getting divorced because of it didn't work hard enough to get there.

3. Quiet Faith - I think that it is better to keep your faith to yourself and to others that share your faith instead of forcing it on other people. For example, yesterday on campus there were people on campus that told us that Judgment Day was coming in May of this year and they said that we are all going to die because God hates us because we aren't good Christians. I don't understand why people would say that when the Bible says that God loves and forgives us all. Who do these people think that they are???

4. Selective Forgetfulness - I like to forget some things in my life and blocking them out is hard but I'd rather forget them then constantly relive them.

5. Practicing Forgiveness - I think that everyone needs to learn to forgive and forget. Everyone needs to forgive because holding a grudge takes too much energy. I try to forgive and forget that horrible things have even happened, it makes life much easier.

6. The Perfect Cup of Coffee - Beats having a crappy cup of coffee. I'd rather be able to make a good cup of coffee so that I don't have to drink something disgusting.

7. Resting in the Present - Everyone should try to rest because it makes life so much more peaceful. Also people need to learn that instead of looking to the future they need to enjoy the now.

8. Writing "Rule of Three" - I honestly have no idea what this is and I never learned it when I was learning how to write.

9. Knowing What's Important - It's better to know what is important about something, especially in a class, so that you can take it out and understand it.

10. The Lap Dulcimer - So I believe that this is some sort of instrument and from what I found on google, it looks pretty cool. Here is a picture of what it looks like for anyone who is confused. It looks like an instrument that is rarely played in a normal circumstance like an orchestra or band.
