somedays

sometimes i move too fast. sometimes i move to slow. sometimes i don't move at all.
life is bizarre, isn't it? we are so odd, running here and there, doing this and that, eating and sleeping, laughing and crying. living.
i continually find myself surprised with... me.
it's an odd place to be. 22. in my parents basement. going to school. working. dating. experiencing life. with facebook to fill everyone in on my day-today-exploits. oy vey.
but it's good too. i'm enjoying life. i'm living and learning much. i laugh often.
who knew i'd come back to alberta and go on more dates in 8 months than i did in 21 years? yeesh. but it's always leading somewhere. and where i'm settled now is a good place. it's a new place, a funny place, with lots of questions and uncertainties. but, once its on facebook there's no taking it back. it's good, just fast, and now slow, which would have been a smarter starting speed, but as i said, i'm ever learning and living. and as all things are, dating is an extention of that fact. he is good, and brings many smiles to my days, and keeps me sane. and is meeting my parents on tuesday.
school is good. i laugh, because, as shauna has found, i love accounting class. who knew?!?! the girls i'm closest to at school and i are all together again this semester, so that's enjoyable.
family is rewarding, thru whatever each day brings, it's rewarding. i'll be an auntie again in a month! truly exciting.
music is beauty. winter is wondrous. i love my farm adventures as much as, and some days more than, ever. life is good. God is good. there is much joy to be found in the face of day to day living. much learning to be had in the presence of a child. much grace to be seen in the eyes of a friend. and love abundant in those around me. i am blessed.


good thing, because when i was 18 i had 'one who is blessed' tattooed, in hebrew, on my body.

I'm glad things are going well for you. That's good to hear.

I'm not sure if I would've mentioned that tattoo thing, though, as some readers might be racing off to get a tattoo of, "I am exceedingly wealthy," in Hebrew...

Katie thanks for this. It's great to feel your heart.

And yay for accounting! How cool is that! We can talk numbers together now! :) Good luck!

it is a lower back tatoo. but i got it BEFORE the wedding crasher movie came out. so that negates any inappropriate connotation based on location. and it's small. so when i'm fifty it will be hardly more than an age mark. haha.
