Your mind is like a parachute, It doesn't work if it's not open.

We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorns have roses. You decide.

The worst battles we have to fight are between what we know and what we feel.

Sometimes the most important lessons, are the ones we end up learning the hard way.

FAMILY


Author’s Note: I decided to write this paragraph on a song that has a very funny story in are family. In this piece I wanted to work on my goal of developing a variety of methods to begin sentences and paragraphs. 


Have you ever heard a song that just made you start laughing every time you heard it because you have so much in common with parts of the song? Well in my family there’s this country song by Jason Aldean called my Big Green Tractor. Some of the lyrics are really funny and it’s not just because the song is so weird there’s a little bit more to it. We have tractors up north on are farm, one of them is blue and this was the only one we had before we heard this song. We were sitting at the kitchen table up north playing cards, and this song came on over the radio. We all stopped talking at a random time and just heard on my big green tractor. It was so funny and we all started to laugh. We only have a blue tractor right now but we still think it’s funny. Now that we have this song in our heads all the time when we are up north we will catch each other while were splitting wood or cutting down trees and start laughing really hard. So that’s pretty much it we like to have fun and laugh at each other we can always have fun like that. But the best part is we do everything together. As a family and we need to help each other not trying to do the hard jobs of cutting wood and splitting wood and keeping our land up there running alone.
