Nik's Musings

In the last 2 months I had a lot of free time and I used that free time to read books. As I read I saw and understood how different books make you feel different emotions. It showed me that emotion always has a play, whether it is in a book or real life. Here are few of the books I read that helped me understand that emotion is always present. Randi Rhodes - Ninja Detective : The Case of the Time-Capsule Bandit Octavia Spencer This book is about a girl named Randi Rhodes who moved from Brooklyn to a town called Deer Creek in Tennessee. In Brooklyn, Randi took up the role of a secret detective known as Glen Street.

When you have fun, time doesn't exist.  When you are hopeful you feel happy or  excited. When you are discouraged you feel down and sad. If you’re hopeful  you succeed. If you’re discouraged you don’t  achieve what you want. Days like the day I left  India for my dad’s work are sad but we must be  hopeful for the things that await us like when  my baby sister was born and a new seed which  will become a tree introduced to the world or the  times I do something I enjoy like reading or building  and making stuff. Always be hopeful and never give  up even if you are feeling sad and discouraged. Life will throw challenges like a thunderstorm  but you must catch them and solve them and  eventually the storm will pass.You should never  let the cookie crumble. The light at the end of the  dark tunnel is the start to the  journey of doing great things.

Then I told myself, If you’re discouraged             you feel down and sad,you don’t achieve what you want.  When you have fun,  You feel time doesn't exist. When you are hopeful, you get to feel the real joy,you succeed! Days like the day I left my dear friends are sad but I must be hopeful for the things that await me, like; When my baby sister was born, that small tiny seedling; the little sparkle of joy! When I do things I enjoy like reading or building legos or creating random craft stuff! Life will throw challenges like a thunderstorm  but you must catch them and solve them and  the storm will pass in no time.You never let the cookie crumble!  The light at the end of a dark tunnel is the start to the journey of doing great things!      Let me tell you,  I am hopeful because I
