captivating
i'm currently trying to find time to read a book jenna gave me. it's called "Captivating" and it truly is that. there are some really great quotes that they incorporate into the story of life and specifically the life of women.
"Then the time came when the risk it took
To remain tight in a bud was more painful
Than the risk it took to blossom"
-Anais Nin
"I will find you.
No matter how long it takes, no matter how far - I will find you"
-Nathaniel to Cora in The Last of The Mohicans
"I want to be beautiful
And make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart
And be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
I just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful"
-Bethany Dillon, "Beautiful"
"May the LORD answer you when you are in destress; may the name of the God of Jacob protect you. May he send you help." (psalms 20: 1-2)
"I didn't know just what was wrong with me,
Till your love helped me name it."
-Aretha Franklin
and that is how far i am. it's a great book for every woman to read. there's a male version of it called "wild at heart"...jenna said she had also heard great things about it.
this week has been really good for me. only two really down times and i was able to pull myself up somehow. it felt great to be happy and positive most of the time. some things still really hurt and i only deal with them when i have to.
home this weekend to just have fun and do whatever. i'm not ready to just sit here on the weekend. it's probably really good to take a long break from drinking.
great tv this week too, holy cow! i'm so glad chloe won and not santino. but, i was so mad that will got kicked off of idol tonight...:( i have a tv crush on him!!
anyways...i'm off to do some catching up and then hopefully getting some sleep before what i hope is a great weekend!
