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.

In hindsight

Too many things comes crashing
                 down,
                        down,
                              down
And the tears
                 fall,
                        fall,
                                fall.

A dear friend's father passed away this morning. I've found myself overwhelmed from work and unable to lock-up my emotions. I mourn for the loss of a father, husband, friend, what could have been, and what will never be. I sigh in an attempt to calm my nerves and in hopes of catching a second wind as the school year grows ever more demanding.

I pray you find yourself resting in the peace of the Lord all your days.
