365 days

365 days ago. It sounds like forever, huh? BUT really it's just a year. Think about it. Where were you a year ago?! 


If could tell yourself a year ago where you are now would they believe you? 


Not all that long, but enough to get things done. 365 days ago I was finishing my first semester... now look about to start my 4th. 


What were your 'huge' problems?... See 365 days, really not that long. But I bet 20.00 dollars that most likely that problem is long since gone, or at least bearable. 


So ready, here's the mind blowing part... where will you be in another 365 days from now?! Go ahead guess.. you could be right... but chances are you'll be wrong. ; ) In fact, I dare you to write it down and write down what's bugging you. After all, A LOT can happen in just 365 days.

In the end we are all light:

The end we are all Light:
By:  Liz Rosenberg

I love how old men carry purses for their wives,
those stiff light beige or navy wedge-shaped bags
that match the women’s pumps, 
with small gold clasps that click open and shut. 
The men drowse off in medical center waiting rooms, 
with bags perched in their laps like big tame birds
too worn to flap away. Within, the wives slowly undress,
put on the thin white robes, consult, come out
and wake the husbands dreaming openmouthed. 
And when they both rise up 
to take their constitutional,
walk up and down the block, her arms are free as air,
his right hand dangles down. 
So I, desiring to shed this skin
for some light silken one, 
will tell my husband, “Here, hold this,”
and watch him amble off into the mall among the shining
cans of motor oil, my leather bag
slung over his massive shoulder bone,
so prettily slender-waisted, so forgiving of the ways 
we hold each other down, that watching him


In the End We Are All Light     
I see how men love women, and women men,
and how the burden of the other comes to be
light as a feather blown, more quickly vanishing

Justification:

Is when you go on a run with your roommate and then come home and eat candy bars! ;)

Vail sin or words to live by?! :) You decide!
