So I know it's been a while... But life has been eventful as usual.
I'm sitting here contemplating life. I'm in one of those moods: thoughtful, reminiscence, reflective. I think I'm finally contented with where my life is and where I'm going, at least for the moment. For a while now my heart has been apprehensive. I'm listening to The Cure which always makes me feel nostalgic. I was driving with my brother Brian to Best Buy tonight and on the way home I just stared out at the stars and wasn’t thinking of anything and felt completely peaceful and had a smile on my face. Maybe it brought me back to the times that I drove with my brother in the past. I always enjoyed that time. Listening to good music and driving are the two best combinations.
I’ve also started getting my life headed in the right direction. I’ve been working on my diet this whole week. I have not had any Dr. Pepper since Sunday January 4th, or any soda for that matter! I’ve also not had any chocolate since then either! I had 1 frappuccino from Starbucks today. I allowed myself that one splurge after getting on the scale this morning and seeing that I’ve lost 10 pounds! I understand that it’s usually easiest to lose the first 10 pounds but I’m still excited. I’ve made it to the gym twice this week when my hope was 3 - 4 times. But twice it better then before, which wasn’t making the time for the gym at all. I’m more resolute then I have been in a long time. I’m going to lose weight, and gain a closer relationship with God.
Sam gave me a leather-bound New American Standard Bible with my name printed on the cover for Christmas. I love it! I never knew how nice it is to have a leather-bound bible. I have been eager to make the time to read and study it. It’s somewhat like that concept that you can run faster with new shoes; you can be more enthusiastic to read the bible when you have a new leather-bound New American Standard. ;) I also have quite a few books that I need to start reading and studying as well.
I had a PartyLite Party at my house yesterday which caused me to do some necessary cleaning in my room and bathroom. I’ve been enjoying my room ever since. I’ve even lit one of my new candles and enjoyed the aroma and ambiance while I’ve been writing. It fits my frame of mind.
And I’m sure you’ve noticed that I’m also working on my grammar and speech. I’ve found that lately I have a hard time formulating my words. I’ve started reading more to try to work on it but my dad informs me that the best way is to write and contemplate what I’m attempting to say. So here it is; all thought out and long-winded. ;) hehe
