take my world apart....
Today was a good day. I don't know if anyone else felt this, but the warmth of the air and the breeze made it feel like summer. I realized that I was in the middle of my favorite weather: the brief moments when you think it is going to rain, and there may even be a few drops on your car, but it becomes a false alarm. I basked in its beauty while driving... I drove a lot today.
Drew came over and we decided to go driving. I began going south on Peachtree Industrial and we found ourselves enjoying great conversation as we wandered farther and farther from Duluth. We eventually hit somewhere near Lake Lanier and turned around in West Hall High School (to give you an idea... =) Without dinner waiting for him on the table, I'm not sure how far we would have gone....
I feel surprisingly ready for 2004. Although I'm not expecting myself to change dramatically, I can already sense that part of me is changing, and I believe it is a good change, like I am beginning to fit into myself as a person. God has given me the peace that I thought I'd never see, and I am encouraged greatly in that area. It is frequently the source of both questions and answers, but I feel excited about growing.
I also feel very fortunate to have the precious friends that I do. I know that the people you are close to don't often have to hear that you love them, but sometimes, it is nice. I don't ever want to take for granted the relationships I have been blessed with. The times when I simply adore Drew's love for life or Jeff's hugs or the belly button kisses between Lindsay and I. (no questions please =) I don't think I could have imagined that I would have this this year.
My mom and I talked the other night for a while (she has unusual wisdom about a lot of things I have found out), and I was sharing with her that everything all of a sudden felt so intense now that the new year had arrived. That sounds corny, but I just mean in the way that graduation is coming and everything is changing this year. Basically, she made me feel so much better by explaining to me why I probably felt so emotional. She is a great one....
Anyways, school is ....soon, although I find it awesome that we still have a few more days to soak up. This break has felt very long to me and that has been wondrous. I am, in a way, ready for it. I miss some teachers and friends that have been out of town. Its also 2nd semester Senior year... rock on. =)
Well, I am going to try to get some sleep even though I haven't been sleepy for the past few nights due to major sleeping inage.
Comment if you feel the urge.... I don't usually receive many =)
