Music boxes and quarters


Well. I haven't been updating lately because I feel like I have everything in the world to say, but none of it will just come out.

Today I went to Amery. I went to my grandparents house, and my grandmother saw me looking at her collection of music boxes and dolls. She has quite an extensive collection, so you could stare at it all day.

It was then that she asked me if I wanted a music box. I have a picture of one, but the other one was my great grandmothers, and I'm sorry but I don't think I'm ready to share it with the world yet. It's an actual teapot, where you can put tea inside it, but it plays music when you pick it up. It's quite amazing.


Also, today I saw a quarter rolling on the ground, but then it ran into a wall. I realized that that's what happens to everyone. We are living our lives, but eventually, we hit a wall. Whether we hit it lightly or we hit it so hard we fall and stop rolling, like the quarter. But eventually, we get picked back up. But sometimes, we don't. we just sit there on the ground, waiting for someone to pick us up. But here's the difference between quarters and humans. Humans can pick ourselves back up. We don't have to sit around waiting for someone else to do it. And if we do, it's wholly on ourselves. Just pick yourself up.
