This morning, as I was preparing for my day, I had this sudden sense that I was somehow taller today than yesterday. Could it be . . . Is it possible?!
I examined myself in the mirror. I appeared taller than I recalled! A smile materialized upon my face- it had been a dream of mine to grow ever since my youngest sister had passed me in height! Then my eyes fell to the bottom of my pants where they were cuffed, in the same place they always had been. And they weren't too short. :(
My senses had once again fooled me!
(doesn't it feel good to be a fool)
As I was seated here this afternoon, working on an essay, the song "Getting There" by Terri Clark began to play on Pandora. These lyrics caught my attention :
You want an answer as soon as you say a prayer
You want to land the moment you're in the air
Baby the living is all in the Getting There
It's true you know . . . I'm often guilty of it myself- wanting so much for the answer or the end to come that I want to skip the process of achieving those things. But the 'getting there' is the joys, the cries, the ups and the downs, the memories that make life.
~be a fool- live your life!~

but of course...if everything happend exactly when we wanted it to...then where would the fun in that be...sometimes it's better for things to come later...it's like a fine wine and all that other mumbo jumbo that i'm spewing right now...sometimes the Lord intends for things to take time...and usually the best things do
I *heart* You Lauren! I'm so very glad to hear that things are coming together for you. Have no fear, I'm pretty sure we are all guilty of wanting to be at the end without going all of the experiences in middle of the journey. God bless!
true true,muffin. Even those really good sandwiches at McD's take longer than everything else on the menu. If you want the best...you're gonna have to wait.
Boo.
You deserve more than mediocre.
To be honest tho...I'd cut off my left arm if I could take the fast track through skewl. Ten years sounds like hell.
Yeah... he doesn't know... well... we haven't talked about it... yeah...
I think I'm going to phone you.
