October. November. December. January. March. April.

Half-empty Journals.

I don't have the gift of finishing journals. I clean my room and end up with old journals that I read late into the night. I thought I'd give you a peek:

"Dear Diary,
I just got you yesterday. You were an early Christmas present. Last night was story-telling night at school. We also had a book Fiar last weak. "
-Nov. 7, 1997

"Dear Diary,
Hello There! I have 3 new friends!"
-Feb. 24th, 2000

Things get funny. And then sometimes, they get serious.

"My steps are small/My dreams are big/My soul is broken through and Through." -8/05

"I believe it was a Tuesday/I got into your Car/ And did I hear you say, "Hello, How are you?"/ I'm sorry that I lied to you/But I didn't want to tell/I hate the loss and goodbyes/So I told you I was fine/ But if only you knew/ I never wanted to let go/ I tried again and again to forget it." -2005

"...And then I ask myself 'why do I get like this?!' I become selfish. I start to make accusations based on the basis of 'fairness'...Eleven Months, 3 heart monitors, 2 kinds of heart meds, 15 biopsies, and numerous doctors appointments later, I still havent understood why is all has happened. The teenage girl in me screams stubborn." -2006

"And I walk thru this valley/with tired eyes tonight/ but somehow it feels right that I don't know where I'm going." -2006

"When I heard you were gone the magic of summer faded. When I cried for oh, so long, all I'd said was nothing yet everything because I'd gone on with my life and you finished yours." -2006

"By faith Melissa, even though she felt alone and unsure of the future, pressed on, striving to love others. Living out her faith, she was driven by the goal." -2006

"On my right was a woman who offered me some lotion and when I turned her down on her offer of Asprin gave me a look like I kicked the pope. She had an accent and told me about how sad her life was. Alone in Los Angeles. Selling Real Estate. She finally asked the flight attendant for a bloody mary and said it'd make her sleep and asked me if I was 21 yet...I try to fall asleep to the Moody Chorale Serenading me via iPod until I see them in person. Suddenly, Chicago seems closer."-2006

It's funny how far God's taken me. Thanks for reminiscing with me. Grace and Peace!

Heart.

I love the fading of Spring to Summer.
I love the colors green and gold
I love my friends.
I congratulate them.
I don't always come in on time, but when it's all over, I like to think it's for a reason.
I feel like I'm graduating Cal Poly and it made me want to cry as I drove from Campus.
No more.
The parties were nice, yes. I enjoyed them much.
Dinner was incredible.
When the lights faded.
When the last horn echoed across the Stadium.
When my heart swelled with pride.
Hers began to fail.
When I was looking at the waves, she was looking for air.
When I was laughing at a dog, she was having a heart attack.
Sometimes, God gives us a day of love and blessings so that we can be there when it's not the case for students.
Prayers for better tomorrows.

New Song.

Wedding Dress By Derek Webb

You really should hear this song. It's kind of my heart.

Things to do for 120 seconds.

Well, we are supposed to brush our teeth for 2 minutes at a time. Therefore, I've been finding things to do while brushing....

1. Watch NBC Two-Minute Replays (30 Rock is best!)

2. Read stories on MSNBC

3. Clean my room

4. Watch the Clock

5. Do it during a commercial break!

6. Watch 'The Onion' clips

                                                     7. Talk

Here are some things NOT to do:

1. Clean my room

2. Bend over to pick things up.

3. lift heavy things

4. stop brushing because you're distracted...

5. Talk

You know, I'm sure I could think of better things to do. Maybe I can make a list of 'Things to do when you're 11 minutes early to work" God knows it's a problem...

     Well, I am tired. I found a cool blog today. Something about growing. But I can't remember the HTML, so if you see this and it's you, let me know!!

Here's a picture to make things nicer:  

A video to make you smile.

Charlie!

I love it.

Life is alright.

Especially when someone asks you how you are. And you get a good night's sleep.
Here's something to chew on.
Grace and Peace!
More on life later. I'm off to work!
