Here is a sampling of my mind's wanderings throughout my first year of teaching and first time living on my own; nothing extraordinary, just simple, short, and sweet. My friend Alli asked that I create a blog so she could follow my adventures, and I have willingly obliged.

"Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love. Stay in love. And it will decide everything."-Pedro Arrupe, S.J.

Duck Crossing

I was driving to my library two days ago when I suddenly saw brake lights on the car in front of me. I thought maybe the driver realized we were still in a school zone and needed to slow down, but then he continued to slow, coming to a dead stop. I peered around my steering wheel and found the reason for our pause: two ducks crossing the road! There are numerous duck crossing signs (at least where I live), but I have never actually seen it happening.  I finally witnessed the event of ducks crossing the road unharmed and traveling on their merry way. How great it was that the driver ahead of me decided to stop, enabling me to be a spectator, if only momentarily, of the adventurous lives of ducks.
