normally, congestion + coughing = crankiness. however, this time around i'm trying to see the bright side of being sick - God reminding me to take care of myself before i attempt to take on the problems of others. :)

3/4/5/6 weeks or less continues to be a pendulum. there is so much i want to do, so many opportunities i hope to take part in, yet the priority is not becoming clear yet. i guess dreaming and planning how to live out that dream are entirely distinct, unrelated entities.

after a series of convos last night, "I can see clearly now / the rain is gone" comes to mind. it's not to say the situation has improved or anything, but i realize that it's not necessary to expend any more effort/time in trying to create the "picture-perfect" condition. the well dries up eventually, unless it is refilled. i am NOT going to let childish actions, broken promises, avoidance or niceness abuse drag this out. someone has to take the first step towards normalcy, and i'd rather make myself vulnerable than be faulted for not trying.

found this neat site that provides daily reflections on christian songs. check it out here.
