2 things:

1) I started my painting today. I think there's something about art that opens my soul up a little more. I was driving with my sister while taking a break and we listened to some Crowder and I found myself content listening to the words and the melody. I haven't been able to let myself be completely absorbed in a moment in a long time. It was fantastic. On that note, tomorrow is craft day! The goals are to make a tree like this one but a little model one on a cork boar... and then maybe implement it in 4 days!!

2) I was looking through my diary last night and I realized that I had been writing in it for 1 year today (The one on the mac. I have 4 different ones.. What? You never know when you may need to jot something down). It's entirely too long but I had the awesome idea of reading back through all of my posts last night to see how the year had gone. It was funny and refreshing to see how a lot of the things that I was stressed about ended up not being a big deal at all. And, it was interesting to see how unexpected life really is. In all, I would advocate journaling to just about everyone.

Then again, I'm a huge fan of writing in general. Words to me, feel something like this. But seriously. I am this girl. I've kept all my letters since high school :)

Mmmm... yay words!
