Sunny Wednesday
I couldn't be happier. A chai in hand, sun pouring through my window, and me at the keys. It's amazing how a little blogging can lighten the soul :)
I checked out my blog list this morning expecting to see a no responses to my posts. You can imagine my surprise when my cousin Heather had posted not one, but two!! Thanks girl. I would be happy just writing these to post out in the 'infinite abyss' (I know you can appreciate that comment), but I'm happier knowing that at least YOU are reading them.
Speaking of my cousin Heather.... Cool news, her brothers both play on the same high school varsity team in our area. Her brother Justin is slated to break the school record of the most baskets in a career this Friday. He needs just 12 more. They are planning to stop the game and recognize him as soon as it happens. That will be cool for us all... especially since he'll be breaking the 15 year old record held by another of our cousins!!! Heather - where did our basketball talent go???
On a more personal note -
I was talking with a good friend John last night and I was reminded of how easy it is to get caught up in our lives and lose that sense of peace. I think as individuals we focus so much on what busy things we can entertain ourselves with, we get frustrated with the stage or location we are at in our lives, and sometimes we just get plain caught up in self pity. It's nice to know that God is present when 2 of us sit down and chat about Him, and how you can feel that peace return, just by spending a little time chatting Him up with a friend. He is faithful, and it's a good reminder that life isn't as bad as we sometimes let it feel, and we aren't hopeless. We're on a journey that will have bends in the road, but it's all for a bigger purpose... and in that we can find peace.
I'm going to do a little work here before we leave for Chinese. Is it bad if you crave the same dish at the same sketchy Chinese eatery everyday of the week, and have to literally STOP yourself from eating it everyday?? We average House of Hunan twice a week, and I get the same chicken and mixed veggies in brown sauce every time. Mark, the guy I work with, and I literally hop in the car and just drive there. It's never like we have a 'where do you wanna eat?' 'I don't know, where do you wanna eat?' conversation. Ever... we just know.
With that said - I'm going to work on a television script and try to stop daydreaming about the rangoons...
I'll share my fortune cookie later.
