Welcome, Welcome!

Welcome February! I always like February... It's like the "inbetween" month not quite winter, not quite spring... It's always filled with a little hope and a little sweetness. Or perhaps that just has to do with Valentines day being in the middle of it. On February first I wrote "GO FEBRUARY !!!!!" at the top of my math homework and the girl who sits next to me looked at my paper, looked at me and said "What's wrong with you?" ya, she's one of "those" people. can't find joy or happiness in anything... I feel so bad for them. But anyway, I thought to myself "you know, I truly don't need to explain myself to you..." and went on being myself. I'm just so dang glad it's not January anymore. shudder.

So, my brother turns 22 this month... 22. ack! when did that happen!? Seriously, 21 is still kind of youngish but 22 just seems so dang old! And I'm going to be 17 in a month in a half!!! I remember I used to look at the 17 year old when I was like...13-14 and think "wow...they're so cool!" ya. I totally am not feeling as "cool" as I thought I would. I doubt I will when I'm 22 either...

So let's see, my posts usually focus on the negative in my life... let's find something positive.. . ... .. . .... .-. --. ...- right. sorry, got off track. um, well, there's lots of stuff that God's been doing in my life and I've grown and changed an unbelievable amount in like....the last week. but that's stuff that's kinda personal so i don't really want to put it on the internet... One thing though is that He's really been changing me in the area of stepping out of my comfort zone to be kind to people. I'm so shy that it's so easy for me to just stay inside myself and not talk to anyone i don't know. really hard actually. that kind of goes along with my progress of not caring what people think of me. progress. I'm not there yet ;) .... well, here's where it delves into more personal stuff and so here's where I'm going to stop. Basically, I now know why it's called reaching out. you can't reach if you dont move. My life has been extreme ups and downs the last week but they've grown me a lot so I'm glad God helped me through.

Well, Happy February 3rd! I love you all! I hope the month is good to you! Don't let it go to waste.

I agree! It's a happy month, except for Valentine's day. It's an okay holiday I suppose, but I've never quite understood it, and it's tedious. Ha!

I know the feeling of writing stuff to yourself in your notes and having people laugh at you as well, it's a funny thing. =]

Oh man, is Galen really gunna be 22?! That's, wow. It doesn't seem like it's been that long, or that he, or we, should be that old! I know, we were silly kids we were, looking up at our "elders" in such admiration at the "unreachable." ;]

God is good my dear! Soon, we will be able to rant and rave and bear our souls to each other just like in the old days, I'm so excited!

ok, so someone totally made a comment and then deleted it before i could read it... that really bugs me. I don't care what they said but I really want to know who wrote it? Step forth ye who hath done this deed! Step forth and identify ye self!

Hey you

I agree. Febuary is underated. Everyone loves july and augast, and Febuary just gets left in the dust.

And I agree, people like that are just annoying. :]

I just kinda steer clear of them.

I am glad you comming out of your comfort zone. Don't let anyone stop you.
