Sugar Beach
I'd been waiting for this last weekend all summer. Ever since I bought my daughter her little sailor dress earlier this spring. Now I have pictures of her wearing it on the sandy shores of Ocean City New Jersey. What my parent's home in PA used to be to me each weekend when I lived in New York city, the shore now is, but I can only experience it one or two times a year. *deep breath annnd relax*
On my desk is a 2/3 full bag of sugar coated cherry gumdrop slices, on the microwave is a box half filled with my favorite chocolate chip mint fudge. A heavy bag of cotton candy is on top of the fridge and even at this late hour I can feel a slight sugar buzz. My sweet tooth is happy :)
Wednesday I start my new part-time job at the Christian bookstore that's so close I could walk on a good day. Our debts are growing at an unbelievable rate and we're not even really buying anything. I haven't purchased much in the way of new clothes in quite a number of years, the vast majority of our groceries are now generic and all our gasoline is 87 octane. *sigh* I want to be like Paul and learn to be happy in whatever circumstance God places me. I'm halfway there but some days I wake up and want to regress 15 years and be just a little smarter.
Someone please tell me why God gifted me with artistic talent and one of the hardest things for me to do is actually get off my lazy bum and use it? Someday when I'm before the throne maybe I'll find out. I reeeally hope it changes before then though. I'm so lame.
Cheers!
