ParentsI love how my parents don't mind being silly....like flying kites in street...just my Mom, Dad and me...like washing the car in the rain...just for fun...my Mom and I getting soaked! Like just laughing and enjoying each other's company. I am blessed to have these gifts...memories and times spent with my parents. Not many my age get to enjoy these opportunities.

Silly Back
Laying on the carpet floor, I feel as if I have turned into a rusty hinge...left out in the rain too long with no protection. I can only stop and laugh at myself when I try to get up because of the awkwardness of it all. I am reminded once again of how that 85 year old patient has trouble getting out of bed and why it takes so long. My body is weighed down with pounds of gravity...like I've moved to a different planet in my sleep. Embarrassed I try not to move when others are around...or if they are here...I do it in steps...so it doesn't look so bizarre. It's amazing how the body can be so constricted and stiff with just a few twists of the bones. The pain is great at times...and takes my breath away as beads of sweat push through my skin crying when the sharp, piercing feeling grabs and squeezes me. I am so thankful this is something that will heal. These past couple of days I have been reminded of how thankful I am for my health and how many little things I take for granted in my everyday life. Activities such as walking, sitting, putting on my shoes and socks, even laughing or coughing...all take little effort most of the time and I barely even think about them...that is until recently. Hopefully this whole experience will help my sympathize with those that live in chronic pain and have chronic problems. My silly back. How blessed I am to be healthy and basically living a pain free life.

Toby Mac is too dangerous in the car
I love Toby Mac...the beat of the music, vocals and the words all put together...you just feel a tad bit "cooler" when you listen to it...at least I do...especially in the car...with the windows down and the music level up. It puts you in a better mood and you forget all that's around you and flow with the music and the beat. And that's where trouble can come in. Those of you who know me...know that I am not a speeder...REALLY...I can even get a little paranoid about the speed limit cause I just don't want to break the law (unless everyone else around me is going really fast). Well....there I was late at night enjoying my music when I realized I was going about 20 over!!!! And yep...there was a cop and yep...he pulled me over. Yikes! I didn't know how fast I was going. This is a first...me pulled over for speeding?????!? And he clocked me going 17 over! So I was just honest as a got out my licensed and searched for the registration...and searched a bit more...(you forget what it looks like when you never use it). As I handed it over to him, he assured me that if there was a warrant out for me...I'd be going to jail. What? Warrant? ME!?
Of course there wasn't...and he let me go with a verbal warning!!! Wow...I feel lucky! =0)

Thoughts
Life is good and I feel so thankful to be alive in this moment sharing it with the people that are around. Because wow...I am blessed to have so many wonderful people in my life. People that I love and care about...people that I just can't help but get excited when someone gets a job promotion, or has a good day or a funny story or a new amazing boyfriend or a kid whose just happy to see you and get swung around in the air or a hug. How can you not feel the joy for them and get excited too?
Helping out in junior high. That's another thought. I love those kids...those kids that come sometimes faithfully every week and others that come only once or twice (and my heart wonders with concern for them). It's amazing to just be with them and to see their depth and their view of life. You can't help but just love them...they are just so much fun to hang out with. (I sometimes have to remind myself that I am a leader and not in junior high).
Third thought. Today the trees and fog were incredible!!!! I couldn't seem to take in the depth of beauty from the snow covered bushes and trees...all I could do was stare.
Fourth.Yue'e. So glad she back home. =0) I've missed her.
I guess that's it. I don't normally write on here...I usually prefer my blog, but they are starting something new on it and so it's much harder to write on it for now.
