May Moves Fast

These days I don't really have much to say. I find myself sitting back and observing more often than moving. The days have been flying by faster than I can ever recall. Not even T.V. satisfies my appetite anymore. Sitting around the apartment was fun for a few seconds. It's weird living in a city where during the school year you can always find something fun to do, but come summer time the phone calls turn more often to voicemails.

I'm trying something new, something to occupy my time and make me feel better. It's time for me to start working out again. I believe if I live healthier now, down the road life will be easier. Also, to stimulate my mind, I'm going to try to read one book a week. This is a pretty lofty goal, even for me. My attention span is about that of an elephant with a peanut in front of it's trunk. But I would like all the suggestions for books that I can get. I enjoy thrilling novels that are about triumph over obstacles and keep you questioning what makes you who you are. So, feel free to throw suggestions at me. (heck, I will even take a free book if there is one to spare)

Life around Nashville is pretty quiet. The last two weeks I was in Birmingham at my parents home. I got a lot accomplished. I had my car looked at and fixed. I even redid a bathroom in my parents home. I stripped the wallpaper and painted the room. It turned out to be a bigger job than I had thought but I wasn't about to leave the job unfinished. It's so great to set a goal and meet it. And I was proud of my handy work. I was able to visit my brother at his new home in Spanish Fort, AL. It was so wonderful to spend time with him and help him out with a few chores around his home. I feel like a work-for-hire traveling helping hand for my family. But, I wouldn't have it any other way. I would be nothing without my family and I am thankful for them each day that I wake up.

No real news... I just wanted to give a small update. I am in the job market around Nashville and am keeping my fingers crossed. Mike is coming back from New York on Monday, so I have that to really look forwards to. Life is good and I'm thankful each day.

-Keep Looking Up!

Keeps Moving On

I sometimes find myself thinking about "could I have been..." and all the different directions my life could have gone. I am so fortunate for what I have and for who I am. I believe it is these moments of realization that enables us to grow and learn from life's funny situations.

I found myself thinking about something that meant a lot to me lately that I had to let go of, Layla. She was so loving and so gentle. I often wonder how she is doing...
