China and a Favourite Quote

Hello, I thought I should update since it has been a while.

Well, my mom left yesterday for China. I'm happy for her, however, I can't stop missing her. My mom has never been gone this long before, I mean, the longest she's ever been away from home was for a weekend. I'm not going to be able to see her for 2 weeks. I know it may seem cheesy, but I really miss my mom. I'm not used to her not being home and being so far away. It is going to be difficult to talk to her too because of the time difference (she's like 13 hours ahead of us), and because she is going to be busy pretty much the whole time. I've been trying my best not to think about it and cry, but today it didn't work so well. I mean, I managed all day without crying or thinking about her, but on the drive home from my school I couldn't help it. We even went to my grandparents' house to pick up some food, and when I saw my grandma I started crying again, and eventually she started crying too (didn't help that we gave her a family picture of us).

This week I'm on the worship team =). I always enjoy it, so it should be a good way to keep me physically and mentally busy.

Here is a quote I'd like to share. It is a quote by one of my best friends, and it is one of my favourites:

"A smile is like a fire, if it has enough fuel it will grow in other peoples hearts. And any smile is definitely contagious. In a good smile, your whole face will smile; your eyes, your mouth, your nose...ears... and a good smile shows how happy you are as well. So since you are happy and you're smiling, in reward, your smile will grow in your friends. And if you ask "how do you help your friends each day?" When a friend sees a friend who is smiling and happy at that! The friend who observes your smile, will smile to!"

Anyways, that's all for now.... Sorry about this entry being a little depressing, and my apologies for any spelling or grammar errors, I'm sort of watching a movie at the same time. =P

God Bless!
