"We are creatures of time, created to dwell in the present moment, and yet I know hardly a person who is able to accomplish that feat with much serenity. We are constantly straining at the seams of our confinement, trying to push out into the future or back into the past. We are either looking back at the 'good old days' or regretting what was or might have been. We are either looking forward in dread of what awful thing might happen or looking forward in anticipation of the great day when 'our ship finally comes in.' Either way-whether we are looking backward or forward-we are robbing ourselves of the only moment we can ever truly inhabit. The best way to embace our time-bound status is to surrender our yesterdays and our tomorrows to God, to freely put into His hands what is already there anyway-time!"

I love the "The Way I See It" quotes on Starbucks...

"Sixty-nine percent of all problems in relationships are unsolvable. They are about differences in personality or needs. They never change. When you choose someone, you have inherited the problems you will have for the next 50 years. Unfortunately, we pick people who are not as perfect as we are, so relationships work if you have wound up with perpetual problems you can learn to live with."

Your thoughts?

Oh life...

I'm really enjoying work still...but getting a little frustrated.

Tonight the housing rosters I had spent probably over 15 hours working on...were a complete disaster. It was really bad service, people were upset, and for some reason it just wasn't happening as it should. I'm not too upset about it, just dissapointed that it happened. That's life, right?

I'm hoping we can fix it all tomorrow. I am still seriously blown away at the smoothness of it all. God really protects and provides through every second of my day, truly amazing.

I should probably be sleeping now...gonna head to that soon. I'm really looking forward to the weekend! yay!

Another day...

Things I'm thankful for:

an amazing first event.
beautiful sunshine.
a tan.
rain.
puddles to jump in.
cloudy and starry night skies.
an amazing staff to work with.
new friendships.
people i care about.
people that care about me.
God's protection.
patrice and the cayman islands.
encouraging people.
people that "make my day." :)
hugs from my mom.
laughing, lots of laughing.
