Considering the fact that I've had somewhere around 11 blogs to keep up on for school this semester, I haven't really had the oomph to keep up on this one because I've been so bogged down.
However, the semester is nearly over, so I will try to get back to my usual updates soon.

Why is it that we have to designate a specific day to celebrate things? Honestly, can't we celebrate daily? And by celebrate, I mean acknowledge how incredible life is (to put it as broadly as possible).
I have a lot to be thankful for. Family is the biggest thing I'm grateful for recently. They've proven to me that they'll support me through anything and love me no matter what. Can't beat that.
I'm looking forward to Tuesday because I'll get to see the residents at Good Samaritan. It was a little strange not seeing them Thursday. I have to have 30 hours of "service learning" for one of my classes and I chose to volunteer at a nursing home. I want to continue volunteering, even after this class is over. I get such an overwhelmingly wonderful feeling whenever I leave there because I feel like I made a difference in someone's life. I'd miss it quite a bit.
Take care!

I had the strangest yet most comforting dream last night. I miss my grandma. But I know she isn't far away. It's evident now. I hope I see her again tonight.
In other news, it's still raining like crazy here. I don't think it's ever going to stop.
I just found an old blog of mine that I had back in 2005, it's kind of weird to read. I'm glad I've changed. Obviously it's inevitable, but I was not a happy camper back then!
Take care.

I'm not sure how I feel right now. Very indifferent, I guess. It probably doesn't help that I'm so exhausted that I could have gone to sleep at 3pm. I had a bunch of things to get done though, and then I ended up watching a movie called Garden Party. Strange movie, but it's pretty good.
It has been raining for nearly three days now (if not a full three days, I lost track). Additionally, it's incredibly cold. Welcome to South Dakota, right?
I should go to bed. I don't want to get sick again (or make whatever it is I have worse).
I'm just ready for this gloomy weather to skedaddle (huh, that's actually a word, according to Firefox).
Xoxo.

Take a moment to think about, or write down, the things that make you smile. It can be extravagant or purely simplistic. Got it? Now keep those things with you at all times and think about them periodically. Smiling is contagious and it's something that should be passed around :)
Take care.
Take care.

Sometimes life isn't what we expected, but that doesn't mean we need to resist change. Change is one thing that is certain in this life. So it's better to accept it than pretend it isn't going to happen.
I'm convinced my grandmother has become a monarch butterfly. Whenever I'm thinking deeply about her and her impact on my life and everyone else that she affected, a monarch flutters by and sticks around until my thoughts trail off to a different subject.
Speaking of which, there was a woman who came into bagel boy about a week before my grandmother passed away and we connected in a way, talked for a while...she was a memorable lady. Then I was sure that I saw this woman at my grandmother's funeral but I figured I would never know for sure, but she came to bagel boy today and I asked her if she knew Mary Helen and it turns out she WAS there and she's one of my cousin's best friends. It's such a small world, it's scary. But at the same time, it's comforting.
