These Weary Hands

The hands that helped raise me.

These Weary Hands

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve Been through so much.

These Weary Old Hands,

They’ve worked very hard

Just to be where they are at

Right at this very Moment in time.

Through the birth of 2 Children,

Through the raising of these 2 children

Who are now Amazing Adults,

Through all the many losses,

Through comforting others

In their time of need,

These hands have worked so hard.

These weary old hands

Have made it through

These past 93 years.

These weary old hands

Are not only a testament

To all the many hours

Of cleaning and chores,

But these beautiful hands

Show that though life is hard,

Life is worth any struggle

That a person may encounter

At any point in time.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of a fighter.

These weary old hands

Are the hands of an angel

Who was sent from above

To bless the lives

Of all those that she has encountered.

These hands have worked hard

So that others may not have to.

These hands have worked so hard

To make life easier for her family.

These beautiful, weary old hands

Have held the hearts of many,

Showing love and showing compassion,

Showing the same Mercy

That God shows us.

These Beautiful, Weary Hands

Have helped many

Through times of trouble

And through times of Need.

These weary old hands,

Run Down, yet Elegant,

Show that no matter how long

A person lives before passing on,

They should do their best

To succeed in life,

Even if it means

Having to do a lot of work.

The more work a person does

Throughout their lifetime,

The better results they have

Both later in life,

As well as better lives

For those after them.

These hands are alluring,

They tell the story

Of a life well spent.

These hands,

Though weary and wore out,

Show how much joy

A person can receive in life,

Even when life seems to be

Long and Troublesome.

These hands,

They are the hands

Of a Loving Grandma.

A Grandma who has been there

For both of her kids,

Who has been there

For all her Grandkids.

A Grandma who is now

Having the favor returned,

And being cared for

By her Kids and her Grandkids

Who all love her so much.


Grandma, thank you for all that you've done for everybody. Not only have you raised two kids, but you've also helped to raise four grandchildren and even watched as two of those grandchildren got married. You are a fighter, you are an inspiration, and you are an amazing Christian influence. You are loved by so many, and you have touched everybody's lives that you have come in contact with. Everyone loves you so much, and we want what is best for you in every situation.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
