I Think Too Much.

This is what I’m learning today.

Love is patient.

Love is kind.

Love isn’t jealous.

It doesn’t sing its own praises.

It isn’t arrogant.

It isn’t rude.

It doesn’t think only about itself.

It isn’t irritable.

It doesn’t keep track of the times it’s been wronged. 

It isn’t happy when injustice is done, but it is happy with the truth. 

Love never stops being patient, never stops believing, never stops hoping, never gives up.

Love never ends.

Oh, Mom...

• Mom: I bought a new movie today! It has Will Smith.
• Me: Oh, which one is it?
• Mom: Um... I think he's a superhero.
• Me: Hitchcock!
• Mom: I don't know. I haven't looked at it yet.
• Me: How did you buy a movie without knowing the title of it??
• Mom: ...It has Will Smith...

I’m Terrible at Blogging

Seriously. I forget to post. I have a whole list of ideas in my “drafts” of things to elaborate on, and just… never wind up doing them. I will… eventually… probably… maybe. I might do them. But they’re great ideas. I kid you not.

But there are sometimes when I simply have to write. It’s not profound or deep. It’s just an impulse that needs to be followed. And right now is one of those times. I’ve got to share some things that are happy for me. So without further ado, my third installment of my 1000 gifts (parts one and two are here and here).

1. My boring life: Last night, a friend asked me to tell her about my life. I answered, quite truthfully, that it’s very boring. But that is such a wonderful thing to be able to say. I have time to sit still, to edit photos, to rest, to breathe, to be. 
2. Spending the morning watching cat videos on YouTube with two of my precious nephews, and listening to the sounds of their hysterical laughter.
3. The glorious trip to Salvation Army I made this week, where I bought 7 records, a new purse, and a new belt for $5. 
4. Being back in southern culture. I never knew I loved it until I was away from it, but it’s so different and wonderful here.
5. Living in a rural area- the stars above my house are clearer than I’ve ever seen.
6. Garlic potatoes.
7. Taking a really solid photo. 
8. Eating a meal that I’ve cooked myself.
9. My excessively long drive to work- I like the time to myself and the scenery along the road.
10. Anything and everything Doctor Who related.

It’s a happy day, indeed.

Tonight’s going to be a late night of me, The Doctor, and crafting some Christmas gifts. I genuinely can’t wait to get home! Why, oh why did it take me so long to start watching?
