This wasn't a bad idea, Mage-
I'm grateful for my family. Even though they can get quite annoying or embarressing(you guys know what i mean) i still love them and they love me.
I'm grateful for the friends I have. I know a lot of wonderful people that are so different in their own ways. I love being around them and i hope they like being around me. =)
I'm grateful for my dog midnight, He has to be the most greedy little bugger i've ever known but he's a very caring and loving pet and i couldn't imagine life with out him.
I"m grateful that god has given me the talent i need to play my saxaphone well,=) and i'm glad that god has given me the talent to draw and or write.
Well i could keep gong but i figure i't would be too long a post and i don't want to be hear all day.=)But to top things off.
I'm grateful that i found this site where i can read stories and write my own so that people will read mine.=)

Well, some pretty cool stuff happened today. But first, I"m gonna say that if you have issues with Christianity, please don't make any bashing comments because I have a right to my own religion. Yes, you have a right to say something about it, and you can say something about it, but please be polite, as a board rule and constitutional right. Anyway. So, last night before I went to sleep, I started praying and was like, "Man, stuff just hasn't been going right, but if anyone can make things better, it's you, God." So this morning, it was raining, but we need the rain. Then I made it to work early. Before work was pretty awesome though. It was sunshiny, with some rainclouds overhead, and since I was about twenty minutes early, I just sat in my truck. I turned on "Everything", by Lifehouse (on their first album) and just listened to it. That song means so much to me; while some people could interpret it as a really intense love song, I take it to mean a relationship with God. And since I have a feeling my life has been icky lately because of neglecting my relationship with God, I let the song just wash over me and let the lyrics mean everything they possibly could in order to talk to God. I felt so much better after that; it was amazing. And what made it even cooler was when I got out of my truck, this really gentle drizzle came down. It wasn't annoying; it was really pleasant, and kind of cool on my face. It was one of those "really nice to walk in" types of drizzles. And that just felt so amazing, cause it was still sunshiny as that happened. We took our final exam for the first mod in class today, and I'm confident I did well. After class, I went to Starbucks, where almost everyone knows me, and I met the manager. One of the coworkers informed her that I submitted an application the other day and the manager was like, "Oh really? I'll have to take a look at it." So then we start talking a little and she said, "I'll give you a call after I look at your application to set up an interview sometime soon." And the available times are quite doable for me. She needs weekend workers and at the fabric store, I could just say, "Hey, I can't work weekends anymore," for any given reason, and be at Starbucks. Yay! Then I bought some material and notions at the fabric store to make some cute tops. Now I'm home, and I'm just feeling really great for the first time in a while. EDIT: AND, a new show is coming on tonight, "The Next Great American Band". It's the same producers as American Idol, and guess who's a judge?! John Rzeznik of the Goo Goo Dolls, so I'm all excited. Comes on at 8PM Eastern Time on Fox.

I'm glad you had such a wonderful day Ri! You deserve it sis! I just came back from a perfectly awesome weekend!!! We got so much done (we're planning a teen conference for about a hundred kids in november) and threw a Halloween party for all the kids in the county. They were so cute!
I was kinda worried how my someone would act around me (now he's got a girlfriend) but we were back to friends as usual, and had a great time. He had to leave halfway through though which was sad.
We had this really cool campfire and we sat around it for reflections. Several of the guys had their guitars and played songs, especially Collide by Howie Day. Man I love that song. Then we talked about the things we had loved about the day. The supportive atmosphere was so wonderful- it was like we all loved each other unconditionally and were empowered by it. There was a sense that whether we went to Harvard or Naugatuck community college, or some agricultural college, we were friends for life, and it was wonderful, because I feel lonely a lot. It was wonderful to know that there are friends that will remain friends till the end.

A few weeks ago in my youth service, we were talking about things that hold us back, be it guilt for something we did or whatever, but it was anything that was holding you back from God. At the end of service, the pastor asked us if we wanted to, if we would write whatever it was that was holding us back and leave it at the altar for Christ. I left my loneliness there because, even though you may feel alone at times, you always have God, all the time. So whenever I start to feel lonely, I just start to pray and I feel better. Maybe that'll work for you, Mage.
So today was good, despite everything. I mean, I'm alive, and I haven't received any earth-shattering news. I woke up at 5:50 AM to get to church, because I open the coffeeshop up with some other folks, and run register. Then I drove around a little, went to Starbucks (They all know and like me there), then to work. Work was busy, but I didn't have to use my "I'm colorblind" excuse, which I will use whenever people decide to irrate me with colors.
ANyway, my folks are home now. xP Yay
