breath of fresh air

some things come to me as so refreshing...

it's been a tough couple of days. but when i just calm down, relax, stop complaining, and listen or just take a look at what someone else is doing - some of the best things can happen.

things will be good. i know i'm being vague. it's okay though.

these are fun pictures from seattle...well at least i think they are fun.

a pretty mountain flower

fun at the beach with aruna, and elizabeth (a friend of aruna's who came out to seattle for four days while i was there. that was wonderful.)

ahh. the space needle. i hope you like that picture, carolyn.

oh. i like this girl a lot...and i hope she is happy at this very moment because i think sometimes i make her not happy.

i like to think that this is what she looks like sometimes when she is not happy:

but then she finds joy and amusement from the little things:

i'm going to go now and get into my bed and read. i am reading The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls.

i can only read it for like...an hour at a time because either i get too sad or too frustrated with the characters to read any further. i started it in seattle and i'm not done yet. in conclusion - i dont want to go read the book...but at the same time, i do so that i can finish it for school and also so that maybe i can get to a good, happy, satisfying part in the book. i guess its not bad...and i shouldn't expect when i read novels for them to be perfect, happy little books with happy endings. right? right. okay. well i'm off.

goodnight.
