The Inspiration of Cloudy Days // January // 2018

A few notes from January2018, the first month of the year!

Enjoying a newly discovered show - Poldark BBC. While not for every audience, I find it quite enjoyable. (+ You guys. Aiden Turner. His acting. Just. *claps* No words.)

Also in the film department, may I recommend The Greatest Showman to every being on the planet? Good. Cause it's special.
Ya need to watch it.

I also discovered a show called Survivor. And I am way more intrigued with it than I expected to be. 

Enjoying the slow days at my job after the hustle and bustle of the Christmas season. (Yes, I actually enjoy slow days). Thankfully, the ever-so-nice people who work there let me read books during slow hours. #blessed Also, cloudy Winter days are totally my aesthetic right now. Anyone else?

NOT enjoying having to miss three days of said job because I was dreadfully ill earlier this month (well it wasn't that bad, actually. But still. Who loves being sick? Not me). And thus missing three days worth of pay, and thus that much less in smartphone budget that I'm TRYING to save up for.

*mad face*

So, I took our Christmas decorations down earlier this month. 
 It is done. Forever. Once and for all. What is it I'm talking about? I have removed a real tree from it's stand and dragged it into my back yard to burn (dropping needles all the way) for the last time. Next year, we switch to fake trees. Boy am I excited for that.

Working on a schedule for my devotions. I admit, I am not as consistent as I would like to be with my scripture reading. The holidays have thrown me off spending the time with Him. But it's ok. It's getting better now with my new routine, and He loves me the same. 

Trying to keep up with my book reading goals of 2018!

In January:

• A Proper Pursuit (by Lynn Austin)
• The False Prince (by Jennifer Neilson)
• Rhett and Link's Book of Mythicality (by Rhett McLaughlin and Link Neal) 

All of which I enjoyed to different extents. :) 

Listening to the new releases by Owl City. Didrick: Ready to Fly (absolutely beautiful, this song. I am so stunned.) I always love it when he collaborates with other artists. It's kind of different and special. Also, the latest releases from Owl City's new album Cinematic: Lucid Dream, and Montana. The story behind Lucid Dream is interesting, too.
Seriously, you guys. Adam's music is manna from heaven. I love listening to it on the way to work.

Lastly,

Turning 20. *whew* 20 years old. It seems unbelievable. 20. whole. years.
No longer a teenager.
 Of course, I never really considered myself a teenager, anyways. I'm not a fan of labels. But still. It is official, nonetheless.
So how do I feel? *shrug* I don't know.

Actually, I'm thirsty.
So bye!
