Haiku on March 31

I like my "me-time"
Cooking meals and drinking wine
I'm independent


Watching flowers bloom
God created everything
Praise the Lord, He lives


April is coming
I wonder what is in store
Let it unravel

Things that say a lot about people

        the way which they treat the waiter/waitress
        how they feel about the weather
        whether they dog ear pages or highlight in books
        fingernails
        and hands in general
        their preferred creative outlet
        how much they dread/enjoy talking on the phone
        whether or not they drink coffee
        if they ever forget to eat
        how honest they are with themselves (and others)
        if they correct your grammar
        and whether or not they get nervous before haircuts

What does this say about me?

I treat waiters/waitresses with respect, because when my dad had a restaurant I got to personally know all of them. (Another reason why I would probably won't ever dine and dash). I probably tip more than I should. I used to not do it, but now I try to be generous with it.
Weather determines my mood. But sometimes, I love rainy days as much as I do sunny days.
I like to interact with my books. I highlight, take notes, and dog ear them.
I like nail polish. End of story. And I look at hands, and I don't think mine are particularly pretty. I may have sausage fingers...
I love to WRITE that is my #1 outlet right there. ie....see this blog...sometimes I blog twice a day but who cares this is my blog so deal with it. Also I am in love with my journal.
I am the type to really try and keep in touch with people I care about. And I love talking on the phone and hearing people's voices. I love to talk in general. But I'm a good listener too!
I do not drink coffee. Caffeine doesn't affect my sleeping habits.
I...never.....forget to eat. How is this even a question.
It's hard to be honest with yourself. But I'm learning to be more direct when it comes to the subject of me and how I'm doing. Praying out loud is one thing I'm working on. I first started in college and it makes my relationship with God and with myself to be more honest.
I don't correct people's grammar (okay fine sometimes I do in my head)
Right now I'm in a cycle where I grow my hair, cut 10" and donate, and grow it again. So I enjoy growing it long and chopping it off. How refreshing!

The Best Time of My Life

I don't believe in that. You hear people say this when they look back and remember great times they had, but life is so full of different moments that are so good. There can't be just ONE. Sure I can say a couple things that I remember to be my awesome times of my life but they always get trumped by the next good thing that happens. Because life is full of them!

By the way one thing you must know about me is that I have a Sunday ritual.
It's to wake up, shower, go to church (9am or 11am depending on how tired I feel...he...he..) and then come back home and relax. Sometimes I take my after church nap. And all of the times, I sit down and read post secret.

And this secret today is what made me think...

I agree with this. It makes me sad too. You're missing something and reminiscing something that will never happen again. There is life after college and it is so fun....find a job you love and surround yourself with people you love and live in a place you love and do things you love. Cherish moments- don't say it was the "best thing" because that is still yet to come and will always happen as life goes on. Picking one thing and claiming it as the best is being stuck in the past. It's like that saying.... "it's okay to visit memory lane, just don't live there." What we really should be saying..."I visited memory lane and smiled and then I said, Onto the next one please! Keep em coming"
