...i'm back. sorry. winter term ate me.
so i have two swollen middle fingers. nice, huh? i've been blowing up balloons for the past two hours, and ... yeah ... ill post pictures tomorrow. ;)
today was... good. i slept a lot last night. a LOT... i've had a week from hell (again) with a big test and a big presentation due the same day.. so i finished 'em up, worked, went to the heller dance for exceptional adults (a ton of the campers were there... it was amazing!!), and passed out. and i woke up this morning to boy meets world blaring on the tv. slept through phone calls, the whole bit... winter term definately ate me.
now that less is on my mind, more seems to be on my heart. it's always the way these things work, no? the practical stuff just clouds our thoughts.. makes us feel like life is "one damn thing after another" (to quote one of my professors)... and it can be. but there's more to it than that.
i guess the thought on my heart today is appreciation -- had another amazing convo with the parentals (it's eric's birthday -- craziness in the homestead, for sure).. and i just can't get over everything they've done for me. maybe now that i know how hard it is to "make it," i get that raising us is a sacrifice. and i really believe that's what true love is.. falling so head over heels for someone that the love overflows into the creation of new people.
God's love overflowed and created us...
So that's my goal for valentines day '08... overflowing love... the kind that spills into every area of life. the trick, though, is it's got to come from somewhere. to love we must be loved, and imperfect love just won't cut it.
:) Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!
