“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. Even as the stone of the fruit must break, that its heart may stand in the sun, so must you know pain. And could you keep your heart in wonder at the daily miracles of your life, your pain would not seem less wondrous than your joy; And you would accept the seasons of your heart, even as you have always accepted the seasons that pass over you.”(Griban)

hmmm - interesting.

last night went out for my birthday and it was pretty awesome if i do say so myself. and its my birthday so if i say it was awesome - it must have been awesome! it was a little hard though because 2 friends got sick - 2 friends got called into work - 1 friend got $125 stolen from him moments before the party and his fiance broke up with him moments before too.

why is there so much pain and hurting right now? typically i am the one who is all about helping others with what they are going through but right now im just in there with them and doesnt feel like someone is walking right along with in it with me. does that make any sense?

who even reads my blog anymore? lol - i know rich is a faithful follower - oh how i love my brother! and my sisters! and my family in general!
