The Iceland Adventure |
|
One of the first things I've learnt since I've arrived here in Iceland is that change is the most efficient way to test one's ability to do so. You see who embraces it, who just deals with it, and who stomps their feet, groaning and complaining because it's just too much to bear. I think I'm somewhere in the middle of the latter two. I deal with it, but internally, I'm just not keeping pace and sometimes it seaps into how I act. As for my brothers...well, they're on opposite sides of the scale if you ask me. Niall's up and jumping and running all over, as is the typical Niall, while Kai is practically an angrier version of Eyor (you know, that purple donkey off of Whinnie the Pooh who seriously needs to take some anti-depressants), unless he forgets where he is for a minute; then he's all sweet and helping and happy. Niall wants to go run the perimiter of the entire island with glee (and I have no clue where he gets the energy. I mean, it's exhausting just watching him!). Kai, when he's in a bad mood, acts as if the world is going to end, and we're all going to die. Haha. But don't get me wrong, Kai is a genuine, helping, loving kid, and Niall can get on your nerves to the point of wanting to rip the hair out of your head -- Nobody's perfect, it's true....even me. I know... it's hard to believe, but I do have my bad assets aswell. ;) I can be short-tempered, I can be bossy, I can be all up in your face at times...but eh, it just comes with the package baby. Lol. Anyways, what I think I'm trying to say is... When life turns hectic, you do too. Unless you're Jesus, but there was only one of him, and that's all there ever is going to be. We just have to 'go with the flow' until the waves temper down and the skies are clear; then we can get over ourselves and enjoy the beautiful view infront of the clouds. We just can't let our goals and what's important get lost from our line of sight.
Smooth sailin' to the rest of y'all, Lexie <3

Hi Alexis! Grandma and I are trying to figure out how this comment thing works. You aren't the only sleep-deprived person:) Actually, we're just technologically challenged, but we'll blame it on lack of sleep! Let's see if this works, then...
