If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance.

Today I started from the first page of my journal until my current day entries. And wow, I have grown up in some areas, and in others I am still immature and need to mature- and with time/experiences I am confident that I will.
I can already sense that in this entry I will just be rambling about whatever comes to mind.
I know I am late to develop any resolutions, and usually I am not one for making any in the first place. Once I promised myself to empty the dishwasher every time my mom asked, and I didn't follow through with it, but that was quite a long time ago anyway. Actually I believe I was eight years old... Today I began thinking of what resolutions I could come up with for 2008, and I found that I plan on:
- Develop a perspective bigger than myself.
- Live a lifesyle that prioritizes relationships.
- Remind myself that I must serve Christ single-mindedly.

While reading in my journal I realized that I made a lot of lists. Some are harsh, and some are sweet, such as:
Things I need to give up.
People I care about.
People I love.
People who love me.
Bands I like.
Songs I like.
Music to download.
Things I must do before I die.
Why am I depressed.
Places to travel.
Names for children.
Characteristics I want in a relationships.
Things I need to work on.
Why I hate getting my wisdom teeth taken out (haha!).

Logan is sleeping in his dorm tonight. Also, Marilyn's birthday is today (basically). Awwwwww, my babies are all grown up! On a completely random side note- I must remember that love is intended to be patient. I hope you are doing alright. I want you to know that not a day goes by where you don't cross my mind. And I believe like this is definitely sweet irony.
Goodnight from Florida!
