thought i'd share...

WARNING!!!: this post is going to be incredibly random...

"If you cannot bear the silence nor the darkness, do not go there. If you dislike black night and yawning chasms, never make them your profession. If you fear the sound of running water hurrying through the crevices toward unknown and mysterious destinations, do not consider it. Seek out the sunshine. It's a simple prescription. Aviod the darkness.
It's a simple prescription, yet you will not follow it. You will immediatley turn to the darkness. You will be drawn into it by cords of fear and of longing. You will imagine that you are tired of the sunshine; the waters that unnerve you will tug in the ancient recesses of your mind. The midnight will seem restful; you will end by going down."
- Loren Eiseley (The Night Country)


don't make life more difficult than it really is. count your blessings. it will distract you.

----------------------------

also, ive recently added a few things to my "things that make me happy" list i started a couple months back... not that your intrested, but it makes me feel good to think about them. :)

-opening to the exact page number in the song book on your first try.
-listening o a song you haven't heard in forever, and still remembering all the words.
-seeing a really old couple holding hands.
-when you lay a sleeping child down in there crib and you have to pry their arms from around your neck.
-when it rains between church services on sunday, but not during.
-someone flashing their lights at you to let you know theres a cop ahead. (not that i need that...just nice to see some thoughtfulness)
i accidenty left my Bible at the church building, and thats where my list is, so this is all i remember ive added...

-----------------------------

tomorrow, im going to apply for a job at Lifeway.
and Toys 'R Us.
hopefully ill get lifeway, but i do think the latter would be fun. i wanna wrok somewhere i wont see ppl from school (hateful as that sounds)

-----------------------------

today, tifffany and i went to the Y to work out and she dropped my Worry Stone.
im mad at her.
but not really, it was my fault. i was letting her see it and i dropped it too quickly.
it's ok tiff.

-----------------------------

i'm horridly sorry this is so boring. i'll end with a quote...

"The reason people find it so hard to be happy is because they see the past better than it was, the present worse than it is, and the future more resolved than its going to be."
-Marcel Paynol
