Christmas gift suggestions

"To your enemy, forgiveness.  

To an opponent, tolerance.  

To a friend, your heart.  

To a customer, service.  

To all, charity. 

 To every child, a good example.  

To yourself, respect.”


- Oren Arnold

I'm not surprised

I thought we had a semi-decent relationship going on and even envisioned a possible commitment in the near-distant future.  And then the inevitable occurred...life.  Doesn't it always?  It's a love/hate relationship we have, life and I.  I thrive on the busyness and anticipate its conclusion, all at the same time.

The commitment I was referring to was, to give a higher priority and greater consistency to documenting thoughts and memories of our little life.  So to portray effort toward my goal or commitment, I am "dropping in" to document these particular thoughts...

Today is Tuesday.

I slept three hours last night. 

I graduate on Friday.

I have three more finals left.

I'm grateful for a husband who will refrain from staring at me with a look of "who is this anxious, stressed, emotional woman with bags under her eyes?"  Instead he just looks at me lovingly and counts down the days until I'll "be a completely different person", free from the stress of school.

Thanks babe, you're the best.
