Snow.
I love it. I rarely see it but this year I got to bask in it, like a white, fluffy blanket.

One Friday night, I went for a lovely, star-lit walk with my wonderful boy, and on that same night, he got down on one knee and asked me to be his wife. My answer? "Of course!"

Mother never used honey in juice, but was drunk as diamonds and lovely as pink.

The monologues

mono 1. (disease) - actually it's a virus, and it is basically the training torment before anything else drastic comes in my life, which means anything that can top this has to be pregnancy. Who would expect mono? Especially at a time like this where choir tour, the homecoming of my favourite sister and the departure of my beloved friends are all taking place. Sadly, California will have to wait to bear the presence of Caitlin Ruth Meller. It wouldn't be so bad if I had the energy to accomplish tasks, such as walking up stairs, but even that leaves me heaving and gasping for air. I guess I'll have to broaden my mind and read books by Charles Keating, or about the emptiness of Mennonitism. Mennonitism? Is that a word? Of course I can always fill my time by looking at wedding magazines, NOT because I buy them but because there always seems to be an abundance of them around our house...thanks to my mother's undying fetish. (Secretly we all love it and wish we had our own little obsession and the money to fulfill it.) No, I think I will tan today. I'm white as a softball and I have to keep up with my Californian boy. My mother found two ticks on her today, that made me nervous and want to jump in the tub. Perhaps I'll do that now, I don't want to have a fit.

The more I know of the world,

the more I am convinced that I shall never see a man whom I can really love.

I require so much!

Falling

Autumn.
So colourful, so bright and unlike any other season because it's memorable. I love fall...the leaves constantly changing shades but only performing for a few days before finally falling to the ground. What is it about autumn that we all seem to adore? Yet the anticipation of winter kills. Knowing that something is coming, something that literally takes your breath away and makes it impossible to breathe the cold air without it stinging your lungs. But when it finally does arrive and you wake up to a frosty white blanket of snow, you can't help but gasp, smile and state the obvious, "It snowed!".
Goodbye autumn...till we meet again.

take me with you

I wish I knew where I was going. Doomed to be carried of the spirit into the wilderness, I suppose. I wish I could be more moderate in my desires, but I cannot, and so there is no rest.

I will be surprised at nothing, in fact I am surprised at nothing!
Sometimes I think that God lets us in on what is actually happening in our lives. For a brief moment everything finally makes sense, and you smile because you finally feel at ease knowing everything is going to be OK. But then that moment fades and the idea seems so outrageous, so unbelievable and inprobable that it couldn't possibly be true. Yet there is always that sense of wonder, "Could it be true? or am I just running wild with my imagination?"
I crave to know what God is thinking in moments such as these....Could He be playing along or does He really give us a few glorious seconds of insight?
