beautiful days

the song "sunscreen" playing in my room...dancing, laughing
blood oranges, mangos, bananas, spinach? ...eating healthy in general (motivation due to bad family genes)

red tea.


reading: the Secret life of Bees

amazing sunrises and sunsets, fog in the morning over the mountains
hilarious photography folk
the smell of the grind

long exposures

working out daily
worship and the word before bed

talking with katie and my amazing family and hearing "life is amazing" from my mother, knowing that their new little puppy makes them laugh every day.


and Water out of the tap (thanks Jamie)

I am so thankful, so blessed.


Apostle Paul in Phillippians 1
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus..

And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ.
"


AMEN
love you

thanks and praise

awww boy, I laughed SO hard today, and it felt amazing
I hadn't laughed like that in a while
and today I laughed till I cried...

laughter is so important you know...
I want my husband to be someone like my Dad, and anyone who knows my Dad and knows me....knows, that my Dad can make me laugh, if anyone can cheer me up, he can

My husband has HUGE shoes to fill
because my Dad is incredible
caring selfless honest

he actually told me he would be my man until the day I find the right one
I am such a daddy's girl it's ridiculous

anyway, LAUGHTER, and THANKS

I have been spending the past week and a half, taking time out of the day to consciously remember what the Lord has done in my life and praise him for all the things he has given me

even when life is hard I can give praise that i live in America, the top 10% of the world's riches....eternally blessed beyond compare...even on my worst financial day

For instance, when my apartment was robbed... i had so many people that genuinely cared and prayed for me
I am so thankful for those people, that it doesn't matter that I lost some things...I have so much more

I have the most amazing family anyone could ask for
beautiful friends
a life filled with love and opportunity
beauty



blessed.
live in thanks,
Katie

it stayed the same

when I walk home it always looks the same, sounds the same, and even feels the same. The same people walk these streets and i am once again, the baby of my family. My mom is still my ever caring mother and I am still a daddy's girl.

but I have changed...

that's the hardest part.
all the while, i feel as if I am expected to be me...three years ago.


I will always love my home. And I will always change.


I want to surprise people.

Love them.


here's to 2009, may it surprise even me :)







( I just watched the curious case of Benjamin Button, here's the direct quote, "It’s a funny thing coming home. Nothing changes. Everything looks the same, feels the same, even smells the same. You realize what’s changed, is you.”)

that is where i stand right now.
