*Disclaimer* The following doesn't even pretend to be quality writing. The blame is to fall on the late hour and the scrambled thoughts. It's basically a contemplative laundry list of things I have discovered this summer, whether they be bits of truth, new obsessions, or revealed characteristics.
- I really love playing board games and card games with my friends. It's a cheap thrill, sure, and offers no profundity, but I LOVE them nonetheless. My faves so far are: BANANAGRAMS, "golf," Taboo, Catchphrase.
- Heroes. Superpowers are so legittt. AND since it's on instant Netflix, I don't have to be patient weekly. I am hooked. The end.
- I don't speak as much Spanish as I thought I did...but a smile is the same in every language.
- That perhaps God does not intend for us to be happy, but that He created us for joyful praise.
- That God may be hedonistic...talk to C.S. Lewis and Matt Chandler on this one. Relates to #4. Think about it.
- The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver.
- The musical stylings of Feist and Keane.
- That I'm not always good at being home.
- That friendship is difficult sometimes.
- That I can do eye reshaping therapy instead of having to wear contacts or glasses!! woot!
- That I can find my booklist on bearweb, not blackboard (a rediscovery.)
- That He is after my heart.
- That I need a new camera.
- That I don't really 'need' anything...
- That you have to fight to hang on to old friendships.
- That five hours can seem like 10 one day, and 2 the next day.
- 1/2 cup oil+ 1 cup epsom salt + a bit of essential oil = happy exfoliating stuff.
- I have very little resolve (another rediscovery.)
- That going a whole summer without learning your favorite barista's name will leave you with more than a twinge of regret.
- That I love blue/turquoise nail polish.
off to bed...yet another doctor's appointment in the morning. Yay health insurance!
In His beauty, grace, and light,
goodnight...
