in the grand scheme of things.



-Riding on the bike trail-
I oversaw a young father fixing the swing set in the back yard...with duct tape.
Dad's fix everything with duct tape.
Hey, can you fix me with that duct tape? Just wrap a little around my mouth,
around my waist, around my feet, around my fingers, around my obvious imperfections.
In fact, hog tie me, pretty please. Fix me!

And me being metaphoracle,
I tied it into an analogy and thought of God and his way of using 'duct tape.'
Today, I happen to find it in prayer.

-I'm okay spending time alone,
A year ago I was afraid to go through the drive-thru on my own.
Hell, I was even uneasy driving alone...worried about people next to me at the red light, being uncomfortable if I were to have any car troubles, ect.

There's a difference between spending time alone
and being alone.
Spending time alone is
me, without my cell phone, lip gloss, friend, book, movie, computer.
Or, just, sleeping. That's always a great solution to disappearing.



-I have all these words popping into my head,
but I don't really know how to form them into a sentence.
You know? Turrets syndrome?
Sometimes it's just awkward to type it and not really elaborate on it.
It should be self explanitory-or, the obvious definition of the word.
Shedding words,
shedding emotions,
shedding inches.
That is what I have been up to this week.




-A friend wrote the words
"Sometimes I expect more from others, because I would be willing to do that much for them."
It's simple, and it's important to me to feel that.
There is one person in this entire world for me that I'm willing to do that much for.

-....I've talked to my mom a lot the past few days,
about how we'll always be wanting more.
Physically, mentally, spiritually.
I'm okay with that,
because I believe that I can find contentment in that.

-To-do lists a mile long,
and it gives me a sense of responsibility. .
And satisfaction when I cross these small things off.

Get out of bed
Clean classroom
Enjoy the people I work with
Write thank you notes
Quality time with mom during a pedicure
Tune-up my car on my own
Play with niece
Work out
Pay bills



You just keep me hanging on,
you just keep me hanging on




Here's to the day.
And not knowing what I just rambled about.
