ages through the pages

Hi everyone! I recently started an Instagram account called ages through the pages, and it explores everything classic and booksy. If you're a bookworm like me, this page is for you! Please consider giving me a follow.

A Grade 6 Take on Life–Continued

Every new chapter in your life

Has something new to show

No matter, good or bad

No matter, highs and lows

Remember the chapters past

Memorize the ways you’ve walked

Never forget where you came from

Never forget what you’ve been taught

Around every bend in the road

Is a meadow filled with the soft shine

Of the light known as happiness

Bestowed to those who are kind

A thousand different paths to choose

No one knows the right one

But take a leap of faith 

And always look for the fun

Because what is darkness without light?

What is bravery without fright?

Without the leaps and bends of life

We would never tell joy from strife

So turn over every page

And savour every word

And when the cover's closed

I hope you've done good in the world

[crystalb]

Aim for perfection. Expect excellence. Work for better.

[crystalb]

Good manners isn't about never spilling on the tablecloth, it's about pretending not to notice when someone else does

[crystalb]

Nothing is bad forever

A Grade 6 Take on Life

Life is like a winding road you take as a pilgrim in your journey. Over grassy hills and rocky meadows, you must take the good with the bad. With dips and curves and bends and climbs, you grow stronger with every challenge and wherever you step you can choose to leave a trail of flowers, fragrant with kindness and love, or thorns, spiky and unforgiving. But it’s never too late to turn around the path you choose–to reroute yourself and take the other fork in the road. You can never uproot the path you’ve trodden, but you can remember the lessons you’ve learned from journeying on it, and you can always do your best to double the good from the bad and help others along your way. No matter whether you’re stuck on one side of a bridge with a storm, you can always find a way across and the other side will always have a bit of sunshine as well. Nothing bad is forever. And when your journey finally ends and you’ve crossed the last bridge known as Death, it isn’t a bad thing either. It is simply an invitation to rest after sowing the seeds for the foundation of the future world, hopefully sowing blossoms that will sprout and flourish into a beautiful world filled with sunshine and shadow, smiles and sorrow, and flowers and thorns. For even the most revered of flowers, the rose, must find its way to protect itself. So be like a pilgrim. Be like the rose. And be unafraid to journey into those shadowed woods for once you emerge on the other side, you may find yourself in a little-explored paradise called Happiness. And though no one can stay for long there, enjoy yourself and perhaps you’ll find a way back someday. I know I will and I hope you do too.

A tip to relax!

Hi everyone! Does anyone find that they’re getting stressed out about deadlines and irritated over unnecessary things, like I am? Of course you are! Everyone needs a little cheering up sometimes. And you know what? Nature is the best way to relax, take your time, de-stress and breathe in the fresh air. Take a quick walk outside or on a trail, enjoy your surroundings and you’ll find you are so much more relaxed! Oh-and one more thing. As tempting as you’ll find it to whip out your phone and start chatting with your friends nonstop, you shouldn’t if you want the results I’m telling you about. Your phone should be on silent mode during your walk and it’ll really help. Take it out only if it’s an urgent matter like a doctor’s call or a meeting link, and also to just take a photo of something really nice you found. I’ve been on many many bike rides with my family and it’s been really fun. Take the chance to go out now, while it’s not freezing!

Otherwise, you can take some time to plop down on your bed, do your favourite activity like reading or knitting and relax that way! Hope my tip works and stay happy!

First Day Back At School!

Hello!  It’s my first day back at school-and I’m starting Grade Three! It’s super exciting but there’s one thing: I’m doing online learning. I can still participate in almost everything though-including seeing my classmates! So really, I could not have wished for a better online start. One thing’s for sure-I’m really comfy! 

For us, it’s a tradition to take a picture outside the house with a special board. Here are a lot of pictures that I took outside today!

In this one I’m acting quite silly for the photo. But check this following  one out!

Leaning to the other side-don’t I look oblivious to the fact that I’m tipping over? Well-surprise! That is just another pose. 

In this one, I’m holding up the board over my head, as if in celebration. Definitely my favourite pic!

I’m not actually sitting down. Behind the board, I’m sitting on my heels, with my toes barely touching the ground. It’s EXTREMELY uncomfortable!!! My mother designed a virtual background especially for this picture. But we have to clean the bottom of the laptop now!

Finally one that is not silly or in celebration! And oops-though I look nice, the laptop is still there! With it’s screen black! Let’s just hope that the rest of us don’t see it.

Using another virtual background my mom designed, she took a picture of me in my uniform, cropped me out, then pasted me onto the background. Not the real me-just a picture.

Dance with your tongue out! At least that’s what I’m doing. With all the silliness, you might go crazy! I would..

Change of the tide! This is the lunch that my mom made for me. Filling and delicious! Of course it helped that I had a two-hour lunch break because the people in class had to relearn the way to wash their hands and eat their lunches...

and finally-me working at home in class. Nothing special but I thought I’d show you this.
