Life

And life keeps going.
Fast as ever.

One of these days I’ll just stop
To feel the sunshine warm on my back.

But I have a feeling
That won’t be any time soon.

Always,
L.A.

Resolutions

It seems that this is my year for resolutions.

My year for gradually molding myself into the woman I want to be. The woman I was meant to be.

I am waking up a good two hours before I have class to go workout in the morning. I am eating well. I am striving to arrive ten minutes early for everything. I am starting a Bible study. I am currently in the midst of applying for a handful of jobs. I am befriending a ton of new faces and reaching out to many old. I am studying and staying on top of my classes. Working on a 4.0 for the year. I am going to bed at a decent time.

This is just a glimpse of the woman who I aspire to be. It’s a work in progress.

I’m a work in progress.

Always,
L.A.

Sunday Song

Today is the day my sophomore year of college begins. It’s my last year in the dorms. My family is planning to move me in sometime around four this afternoon. I have yet to start packing. Oh, and I am without a working laptop. {I’ve been using the family desktop all summer.}

I’m not too worried though. It’s just another adventure in the wonderful life I’ve been blest with. It’ll all come together just like it’s supposed to. {All in God’s timing.} Until it does, I’ll make the time go by more pleasantly with the help of a little Regina Spektor.

What new adventures have you all been up to lately?

Always,
L.A.

Ask for the insight

"It's easy to get lost in endless speculation. So today, release the need to know why things happen as they do. Instead, ask for the insight to recognize what you're meant to learn."
-Caroline Myss

Embrace the new

"It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power."
- Alan Cohen

500 days of summer & anticipation

I’m in a 500 Days of Summer mood.

This song is currently on repeat as I try to get a bit of work done before school starts this coming week. Summer has gone too quickly. I find myself crying for no reason far too often lately. The coming year is pregnant with possibility. I’m not sure if I’m quite ready for it.

Always,
L.A.
