I currently have 4-7 entries saved as drafts because I just can't seem to find the time to finish any of them and/or make them sound the way I want them to... perhaps over the holidays the time will be found? Lots of ideas and lots of commentary... just so little time.

Even so, this is what is on my mind right now-

This weeks lesson: What you have and what you do with a little is what you will do with quite a lot. If only I had the smarts to expound on that like Matt Chandler. I can't verbalize it like he did but I feel the meaning in my heart. Good enough.

There really isn't any preparation time for the person you hope to be/become... you are that person right now. Live for now... or as Gabriel's mom likes to say "be thankful for this moment for this moment is your life." She probably stole that from somewhere but I'll give her the credit anyhow.

Sometimes I am completely bowled over by the strangest food craving. I am currently having a craving for lavender and saffron ice cream...? But I've never had it before. How can I crave something that I have never ever had? I DON'T know... even though I've never had it I can still imagine what it must taste like. And I want some. Preferably now.

I have been living inside so many children's books this semester- living in the pictures and in the words. There really is nothing better than a classic children's story. I don't know that I like it for the memories it brings back to me or the hope of the memories I may receive in the future... (you know? when I'm reading those stories to my children)
