My job, being the wonderful company that it is, has half-day Friday during the summer. So 12pm everyone leaves! It's amazing...I love love love it. This Friday was the first one and I was so eager to leave, the sun was shining bright and there was only one place I wanted to be...Norwalk beach. Someone very close to my heart lives in Norwalk. He and I have known each other for years but last summer he took me to Norwalk beach and that beach just took my breath away. It looks like any other beach in Southern CT but the feel of it is different. Like most things in life, it's not always the seen that evoke emotion in us but rather the unseen. Every time I go to that beach I can't help but feel closer to God, myself, and the dreams I'm waiting to fulfill. Watching the skyline fade into the shore and the sun melt into the sea is powerful. I can't wait to go back, when the weather gets even warmer, bringing my pen and journal this time so I can write as I'm there.
Saturday I went to my friend's graduation party. I can't believe I've been out of school for a year!! It was nice to celebrate with her and reflect on what my year out of school has been like. I got the chance to see people I haven't seen in awhile and overall it was a good night. Sunday I went to brunch with my parents (didn't like my food too much) and then did major shopping at Target with my mother. I admit we need go to to meetings for our addiction. lol. It's outrageous, what was supposed to be a quick stop for a bridal shower gift turned into a "Let's look @ everything on clearance" party! Hundreds of dollars later we went home...
Yesterday, Memorial Day, was a great day. I woke up, clean up, and started cooking with my mom. My college friend and her mom came down and we really just enjoyed being together sharing laughs and good food. What I love about my friend is that since the first day we met each other we've been family. I can't say that for every friend that I have but I thank God I can say that for her. She's been a great asset to my life emotionally and spiritually and to spend time with her is always uplifting and time well spent.
I'm always reading book. I remember when one of my teachers told me "Good writers are good readers". I completely concur. The more I read the more I get ideas and the more I develop a skill for what people really want to hear. I'm currently reading Elizabeth George's book A Woman after God's Own Heart. For all of the women out there who are truly looking to improve their spiritual life...Read this book! There are so many good points that arise in each page that leads to deeper introspection and reflection. Lately, the more I think about my future the more I realize that I want to have God's Word acted out in my life. I find it necessary to take charge in my life to become more aware of my actions and how they may put my future (on Earth and in Heaven) in jeopardy. It's always healthy to be honest with yourself and recognize what things need to be changed in your life. This book, of course along with the Bible, has helped me with topics that previously I have felt were not being answered to me directly in my home congregation.
I'm signing off for now, maybe I'll put up some beach pictures up tonite. Until then or tomorrow
bye!
