Turkey Burger

My lunch today!! Since I am on such a strict diet it is hard to find food that I can eat, but you just have to get creative and have fun with it. Food is one of the simple joys in life. 
So, today I worked for what seemed like hours and hours and I only completed three subjects in school. It is frustrating, but I try not to get my knickers in a knot. That is what I have been learning recently not to stress out as easy and just let things go. So far it has worked really well, and I have been feeling great!

Another milestone

So somehow being able to drive by myself has given me a feeling of great freedom and relief. After three failed attempts to pass my driving test I finally "aced" it. Wohoo It is crazy how fast life goes, I guess you could call today my D-day because I was dreaded yet dreamed about it daily. God once again is so good, all I could think during my test was "I can do all things through Chrst who Strenghtens me"! Later that night I went out to eat with family I am so close too, and it was awesome to be able to go to eat, and just to be with them! Life is good.

Love

Love, it is all around us, it is blasted through our old car speakers, it is seen by to two smooching people, it is showen by helping others, it has many facets, it has many ways the say it, it breaks all cultural barrier, it has no bounds, it makes people do crazy things, it determines weather a child will grow up to be happy and successful, it is our obession for fuzzy fur balls, it is our love for God, it is God's unfailing love for us, it is God.

Hats, shoes, scarves, attitudes too

The world of fashion is so peculiar, and interesting. The people, the clothing, the attitudes, the standards, the rush, everything about that world is so strange yet enticing to me. Going to another Fashion Show in the Big Apple has confirmed my love for fashion and it's crazy world. I am addicted.

You may be just as surprised as I am to know that this picture is of the Philadelphia Art Museum, when I took it I wasn't expecting it to this beautiful. Beauty comes in unexpected ways. Thursday January 5th 2012

Universal

Went to the Museum today in Philly. I realized today that art has no language. When you look at a work of art, you sense the emotion that artist wanted to create just by their brush stokes or sculpting. Weather it be a unusual portrait, beautiful landscape, or simply two colors. Art is universal.

Home


January 3rd 2012,
Well the Holidays have past and constant indulgence of sweets is unfortunately over. It is back to school and I spent the entire day silent, besides two phone calls that lasted approximately a minute each. I questioned whether I made the right choice today when I had this overwhelming feeling that I may never be able to talk again after being silent for 7-ish hours. :) Later in the Kitchen I committed a crime…I hate over half a batch of Shortbread cookies. I have a feeling that this law breaking business will become a habit.
While I was doing my health class today it was talking about healthy choices, along with the evils of drugs, alcohol, and sex that we all could recite in our sleep. Anyway, it was talking about achieving a state of well-being and striving for health in all areas of life that are spiritual, emotional, mental, physical, social, and environmental. I realized being “ill” affected all facets of my life and how stress contributed to all of it. The changes I have made recently have made an impact on my life. Life is an asteroid-field and you have dodge all the giant space rocks flying at your face.
On a happier note one of the best movies ever filmed is “You’ve got mail”. If you have never seen it I would highly advise it.
