Fridays

I am in love...

...with music.

Music is a way for me to express my soul without having to use words. A wise guy once said this: "Music is moral law. It gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, a charm to gaiety, and life to everything. It is the essence of order and leads to all that is just and beautiful." -Plato

Fridays are the day I get to make music. They are the day I get to relax and look forward to spend time with God. On Fridays I have time to spend time with my close friends and listen to what is going on in their lives.

A List and a Tribute

I was sitting in class this morning and decided that what my teacher was saying was not important or it was leaden, monotonous and wearisome. I'm not sure which. I pulled my notebook from my bag and began to write. A lot of random things splattered across my paper; I thought I would share a couple with you.

I have these hopes (and somtimes "goals" would be more appropriate) for the future. They are not important. They are not the kind that determine a life path. They are the little things that will sprinkle a bit of spice as I get older.

-Always have fresh flowers in my house
-Be spontaneous--surprise my loved ones
-Learn to do something new every year
-Keep up with my challenge course training
-Keep some clothes I have now to hand down to my children. They are bound to be "vintage" someday.
-Never be a tourist

I'm sure I'll add to this list as I think of things. Suggestions are welcome.


A tribute to "Elizabeth"
I don't think girls (should) ever grow out of loving stuffed animals. They are soft, cuddly, listen really well and have great shoulders to cry on.

That's all for now

Woman's Last Stand

I thought this was an awesome reply to Dodge's Super Bowl commercial this year.
I hope you find it as amusing as I did.

Art

So many choices, yet there are
     none at all.
The goal is too daunting and
     the way so tall.
Praying for God's will to be
     worked in my life.
And trying to avoid choices that
     lead to strife.
Not knowing if I'm right or wrong,
But I'm praying my faith will remain
     strong.
Jesus take my life and lead my heart;
Make my life a beautiful piece of art.

Potato Salad, Pillaging and Resumes

It's funny--when I'm sick Time drags her feet like a petulant child who knows she has to go to the dentist. Today, things have queued themselves up by the hoards on my "To Do" list. Unfortunately I feel so "terrible" that the only tasks I've managed to complete have been:

1. Updating my Resume
2. Writing this Blog
3. Eating some Potato Salad

Grand, isn't it? I should be going to find my impetus and eventually pillage that "To Do" list for all it's worth but I think I'll eat more potato salad instead....
