My Sister is Getting Married


My big sister
Is getting married
I'm so happy for her
For them
I'm so happy
But it's kind of weird
I mean, she's getting MARRIED...
I'm also feeling bittersweet
Only 7 months until 
My life is radically changed
My beloved sister
Will move out of our room
This house
This city
No more big sister to depend on for everything
I'll have to do stuff myself all the time 
(Wohich will be good for me) 
No sister to mooch off
But she'll be happy
I'll be happy for them
And she'll only be an hour away
So I'll still see her often
And she'll always be my big sister

So Happy


So very happy
When that thing you've wanted
For someone else
Comes true :)

Blogging

It is tempting to abandon my blogs.
Because I have an ideal blog in my head.
But then I think of all I've written over the years,
And the thought saddens me, that all that would be gone.
But then
I could always keep this blog,
And delete the other one,
And start from scratch with that one.
But, if I really think about it,
I don't have time for that perfect blog.
So I will continue writing this one,
And my teacher blog.
And I will continue leaving my blog that was closest to my ideal
On the backburner.
Waiting for the day when I will have time for something regular.
Someday.

Determined


I am determined.
To get done everything I have written on my to-do list.
We'll see what the morning brings.

Wouldn't It Be Nice?

Wouldn't it be nice if everyone was as smart as we think we are?

Phase


Phases
Blog
Don't blog
Why or why not?
Diary
No diary
Commitment
No commitment
My life is a sad series of phases:
Short good ones
Long bad ones

Priorities


Lord,
Help me
To organize my life according to what You desire
Instead of what I feel like in the moment.
I know that only in this way can I ever feel like I'm accomplishing anything.
So please help me.

Work: Tube Park

Started working at my winter job today (second year at it in a row). I work the tube park part of my local ski resort. It's supposed to be the best snow tubing in Ontario. I have a lot of fun working there. Everyone (the customers) was happy: two days before Christmas!
