blue skies.

I am looking at a poster in my room and these are the words it says:

peace.
forgiveness.

apologies.

moments.
live.

fragile.

heal.

missing.

love.

Right now, these are what these words to me:

peace is what i need.

forgiveness is what im struggling with.

apologies is what im accustomed to.

moments are what i take for granted.

live is what im striving to do.

fragile are the ones i want to help.

heal is what my heart is doing.

missing describes my feelings about my family and home.

love is what i am relearning.

you renew my hope everyday.

love the nice weather we had last week,

loved discovering this quote:

"When we have gone into the furnace of affliction, His hand is on the thermostat and His eye is on the clock"

love that i'm almost through.

Simplicity.

For my upcoming perfect summer day, I need:

2 trees

a book (Chronicles of Narnia, Alice in Wonderland...not sure yet)

my hammock

sunshine

my Ipod.

Right now, everything seems to be complicated...for a short moment, I would love to experience simplicity.

become the person you want to be.

Sometimes I think we forget that we have control over who we are even if we don't have control over the situations that we're in.

I have gained a new perspective this semester and sometimes with a new perspective comes change.

Today the person I want to be is:
honest
caring
and
GENUINE

today i am thankful for...

family that will take me to the bus stop on their lunch break so i can stay home an extra night.

grandparents that tell me they love me no matter what.

walking in the sun after a weekend of rain.

decilious grapefruit.

sign language.

a new perspective.
