Is it possible to tell someone too often how much you love them? I kind of figure that you should always tell someone how you feel about them (assuming it's good, of course!) I work with this older woman named Sandy. I simply adore her! She makes me laugh so often and I'm just not over how great she is. I want to tell her everyday how much I love working with her, but I think it might be a bit much.

"Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward. For there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
~Leonardo da Vinci

While I think da Vinci was kind of a kook, the man has a point. I'm bursting at the seams. Can we just get me on a plane to somewhere amazing, please?

Talking with my friend, who thinks she has found the One, makes me want to plan her wedding. I love weddings. I think it's amazing that two people can be so sure that they're going to stay in love forever. How can you promise someone that? I can't wait to be that certain about something.

Picking out my next thing from The Book to do. (www.freewebs.com/my2001things) Maybe I'll leave some cookies in the mailbox for the mailman.

Sometimes I have moments where I realize that there is nowhere I would rather be.
London, Millennium Pier, April 2005.
Athens, Parthenon on Acropolis, May 2005.
I need another one of these moments. Soon.

Hanging by a moment here with you.

Could today have went any better? Is that possible?
The answer is no. I loved today.

I sometimes forget that I have people who love me. Whenever I feel crummy, or inadequate, or self-conscious, I need to remember days like today. In the company of an amazing friend who really cares what I have to say and is genuinely interested in me.

Working so much makes me appreciate the time I have to myself.
Well, in actuality, I don't want it to myself...rather, the time I have for Nina. The time I have for Jessie. The time I have for Megan, Beth, and my parents.

I got burnt today. It feels incredible. Painful, but incredible. Who knew the sun shines during the day? It does, friends. What a feeling...laying on a dock, talking to my best friend, and frying.

Good food, good conversation, and a tie-dye bathing suit from Europe.

This is the day that the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it!
