Jack Johnson + Rainy Days = delightful

I awoke this morning to a cool room, and I was too tired to get up and run...in fact I was too tired to make myself get up and run (which usually works when I'm just too tired to run). So I laid in bed until 10:15...something I never do. It was so delightful.

I decided that when the weather is icky like this I really just wanted some chicken soup...after discovering chicken in the freezer, I followed through with the plan and put it in the crockpot for supper.

I was almost late to my 12:30 class, and I contemplated skipping my second class, but didn't. Then I went to work. I really didn't think anyone would show up, but one faithful student made his way through the downpour to come to the SI session. I was still out before normal.

I came home and made biscuits and added to the soup. I also picked up a package this morning that was a gift from a lovely woman. It is two books for my future children.

And my new running shoes came today!! I can't wait to break them in. :)

I have a free evening, and I think I'm going to hang at poho and do some homework. I need to get started on my project for Econometrics, and I need to get started on my project for non-verbal and I need to revise my English paper.

I had a delightful dream last night. I dreamed that I was in St. Croix. I decided to surprise Mami and Papi and they were so happy to see me. I have been wanting to be there all day today. I know that I will be back down there to visit...I just don't know when. The thought makes me happy, though.

Easy.

Called Beauty

I'm listening to Pandora right now, and the song that is on is Love Song . I'm not sure what exactly that has to do with my life at the moment, but thought I would share it with you all. In fact, I feel rather at a loss as to what I should say as I sit here eating sweet potatoes. I had a lovely run with my roommate, B, today. We both decided that it is much more fun to run with someone than to run outside alone...not to mention smarter as our neighborhood isn't the greatest. Running feels so awesome now. I am getting new running shoes tomorrow, and I'm really excited about them. The lady at the store let me go out on the sidewalk and run back and forth to test them out when I went today to look, and they just felt really amazing. Switching Subjects... I have never really had many guy friends. I'm not sure why. I think part of it had to do with the fact that for a while I was really scared of men in general. Then I went through a men disliking period (I refuse to say

learning to savor

I was asked today if money wasn't an object, if I didn't have to work, if I could do anything in the world, live anywhere in the world, what would I do? I wanted to give her a thoughtful answer, a truthful answer, so I thought about it. If I could do anything what would I do? My heart leapt within me at the thought. It's one of those rare opportunities where you just allow yourself to dream for a minute of a perfect world. What would that world look like? I knew within myself what I would do, and I did my best to express it to this lady. I would have a house on the beach. It would be a safe place, a resting place, a refuge. It would be open to anyone who wanted to come. I would have tea every afternoon with my friends. I would cook and bake. I would work in my garden in the backyard. I would spend hours in communion with my Beloved. I would take walks on the beach, watching the sunset. I would sit on my front porch and soak up the day and night. I would savor life, and I wo

I say Hi!

I have discovered the secret to avoiding awkward situations... things are only awkward if you make them awkward. Think about it. We take our cues from the people around us. If someone else is trying to make you feel awkward, and you just ignore it and go on with life...then they will stop. I was in a situation tonight that could have been awkward, if I had made it that way, but I choose not to. As a result I ended up having a great conversation and was very encouraged and uplifted from it. Anyway...this is going to be short because it has been a very long day and I have a lot of homework to do tomorrow...so tomorrow is going to be a very long day. We finally covered Philippians 3 in Bible Study tonight...so excited to move on. Also, I am greatly enjoying playing chess with a good friend...we are having about a weekly match up. Good times!! I'm getting better, so we'll see if I'm able to eventually pull off a win. Funny how God grants little desires of our hearts. I always k
