Another day

(This is from the beautiful butterfly garden we visited this weekend. It should be on everyone's "Places to Visit in Life" list.)

4-13-08
Today I found my safe haven. Normally my spot is more a walking route than a specific spot, but today I found an actual destination. Some people have a place they go when life hits the max or they need pieces of sanctity. Or maybe every time you visit this place, it triggers a memory, a feeling.

This new adventure has offered countless blessings; some days I can hardly contain my excitement of everything happening, but then this void still lingers. This void becomes apparent when an aunt talking on the phone with her nephew allows him to pretend to hang-up and answer the phone over 14 times (no joke) when before I could have handled maybe 3 rounds of that game. The people surrounding us truly do influence our actions, our feelings, and even our beliefs.

But today I found a place to go and think about the people I miss and the poor decisions I have made and then reflect on the fun-loving people I work with and the crazy things this job has had me do.

God bless the emotional basket-case package that comes with being a female with my last name.
