I cannot believe i’ve let this slip by for a whole week!  I’ve not given up and i wont quit it though.

in no particular order, i am thankful for:

days off
i took thursday and friday off for some much needed refreshment.  it was wonderful.  i litterally did nothing on thursday.  ive not done nothing, in so long.  friday consisted of a trip to the zoo, a parking space that was majically appeared after we prayed for one, and lots of good times.

laptops
mobile computing.  it’s great:-)

music
especially the newest stavesacre, God bless stavesacre

challenges
amazingly enough, i put this on here.

conversations with friends youve not spoken with in a year
talks with friends that remind you of who you are, of why you’re doing what you’re doing.  that show you that it’s ok if your life looks more like the scragly, scrawny tree stubbornly clinging to the side of a cliff.  refusing to let go and give up.  talks with friends that remind you that its not always how pretty you flower, but how deep your roots go.

and that sometimes, the most beautiful thing in the world is to find a kindred spirit.  a heart that is bruised and bloodied, that has been through battles, that has seen victory and defeat…. but refuses to let go and give up.  reminders that it’s in finding those people that one sees how much beauty truly exists in life, in those around you, and in ones own self.

reminders of the promises made for me.
I know, i’ve said this one before, but it still fits.  and i need to be reminded of it, every day.
