:-(

Stupid facebook... so much for going to bed early tonight. I gave in way too easy... I feel cheap.

I like my life

I have nothing to say... I am just getting freaked out that the hairless rat is the first thing I see when I go to my blog. Hopefully tomorrow I'll have some wonderful revelation that will help put the rat even lower. Why, oh why, did I put that picture on my blog?

The hairless rat

I found out today that my love of animals has a clear limit... it's somewhere near miniature horses, crows, and this...

Sunshine

I've always loved the sun (I'm a little less of a fan when it's 102 degrees outside, but overall...). The best is the morning sun. My bedroom window faces the east and I get to wake up to the sun pouring in through my curtains. It just seems so full of possibilities. Anything can happen when it's morning. The day is not ruined yet by all the things that seem to fill up and wreck a good day.

We'll see how I feel in 11 hours when I actually get to return to my home. By then the beauty of the morning sun will probably have been beaten out of me by stress, frustration, and sad stories. For me, maybe the morning sun is a reminder from God that the day is new and fresh and full of Him. Maybe keeping that feeling of morning sun will make the stress, frustration, and sad stories seem a little less dark and a little more open to possibility.

Or maybe I'll get home all grumpy. You never know. At least I have So You Think You Can Dance to cheer me up tonight... don't judge me... it's a really good show... seriously...

So far, so good

Being 26 -- Day 2:

I know it's only been 2 days, but so far... 26 is pretty darn good. I've got a good job, lots of awesome friends, a nice place to live, and a God who loves me way more than I deserve. I don't think a relationship about God is about getting. God isn't a genie granting my wishes when I do what he wants. But it's such a great feeling to try to be obedient, and faithful, and do what he asks me to do (try being the operative word) and to have that affirmed in some context. We shouldn't follow God for what he can give to us, but maybe when we live without expectation of receiving... that's when we are open to receive the most.

Is it just me or am I actually wiser than I was on the 22nd?

A thoughtlette

So yesterday I had nothing to say... to make up for it how about this strange thought:

Have you ever been terrified to lose something you didn't have to begin with?

I hate episodes of TV that make me think!! I watch TV so I don't have to think.

Hmm

I'm feeling very introspective, but I have nothing to say... interesting combination.
