One day whereas I was earnestly looking by the infinite variety of videos completely chosen for my viewing by Facebook, it abruptly dawned upon my thoughts that it was all such a waste of time. The precious time allotted to me by the Good Lord on this earth was ticking away! I realised that as a substitute of watching God- is aware of- what movies, I needs to be doing one thing constructive…like maybe begin a boutique..or become an avid baker and bake mouthwatering chocolate truffles for the neighbors’ kids, (now I feel like consuming a scrumptious, melt-in-the-mouth chocolate cake! Darn!), or write a nail-biting, edge-of-the-seat thriller which will make me super well-known and sign autographs for my thousands of followers (hmm..must work on that lame signature of mine), or change into an incredible inside designer with rich and well-known shoppers.
