I feel like yesterday’s blog post was a little bit too negative and angry. I kind of don’t want my blog to be about that. But I honestly like to take a more positive take on the world.

I had the opportunity to stay at someone’s house who was right on the coast of Lake Michigan. And we had this really cool fire. It was pretty great. I just love looking at the lakes. No matter if it’s cloudy or if it’s sunny, it’s always got a different look that is just equally as beautiful as the other. Also the sands of Lake Michigan is like the perfect material to make those drippy sand castles with. They look like Little stalactites. It’s also incredible to see it at night.
