And with one smile my soul takes flight.

Well, I haven't written in here in quite some time.  I begin entries all the time, but I always end up deleting them.  I don't feel like I have anything useful to say anymore.  I am entirely uninspired.. even writing the mundane goings on of my life seems difficult to me.  and, ignore the random grandiose words from time to time, I am trying utilise my vocabulary as much as I can.  I cannot think of words for anything lately and it's driving me crazy.  Also, I am still reading the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis, which is taking a very long time because the vocabulary in that book is so obscure that I need a dictionary at my side at all times.  It's okay, I am learning about Jesus and grammar all at the same time, how cool is that!?  I have decided, while reading the same page in this book six times before even beginning to formulate an idea about what he is discussing, that I will keep a journal of every book I read from now on.  One of the things I hate most about myself is when I'm trying to explain something wonderful to somebody, and I just don't do this something justice... such as a quote from a book, or a funny story, etc. So, I have decided that I will write down passages that speak to me, and make a small amount of notes about them as I read, so if I want to tell people about what I read, I will be able to do it sufficiently. 
I love talking to people who are so dedicated to learning more about Christ and who have totally given their life over to Him.  That makes me happier than anything in the world!
Another thing that makes me almost just as happy is Love.  Not just romantic love, which, by the way, is completely wonderful, but love for each other and love for our Saviour,  Love is great :)
Question for whoever.. is it so wrong to view the world through a sort of rose-colored glass?? I mean, I for one, absolutely adore to romanticise situations and people.. and it's not that I completely ignore reality, I just choose to see the good that comes out of occurences and try situationalise people's actions.  Romanticising allows me to see the good in things I otherwise would brood over and make myself feel miserable.  I don't know, to me though, I just don't think it's the worst thing in the world.. some good could come of it.. lol, there I go.
Ok well.. I have no idea what I am saying anymore, so I think that is my cue to STOP TYPING! hehe
Later days
