part one of many

I need to get a phone that allows me to blog on the go.  So often I'm sitting in class waiting for my prof, or waiting around somewhere, or I wake up in the middle of the night with divine inspiration, but I'm far too comfortable to get up. go all the way out to the family room, wait for the computer to boot up, and then hope for a good internet connection (we are SUPPOSED to have free wi-fi here in Riverside, but it doesn't seem to reach to La Sierra).

Anyway, just a few jumping off points that I will come back and detail later. 
* I still owe a "what Candice is reading" for both September and October
* Friendship - when the shit hits the fan you find out who is REALLY there for you, and who just gives good lip service
* My ever-changing plan, and the mentor I am eternally thankful for

and, foremost in my mind - how one little thing can change your life completely.  We are surrounded by change every day, and we usually bend or twist around it, and go about our business.  But every once in a while something small happens, and the changes build and build, until your whole life has shifted.  The key is to find the positive in the change, and be thankful for the wake up call. 

My wonderful friend Lisa takes every opportunity to re-evaluate her life.  Her birthday, New Years, Easter, Arbor Day (for real), and sees every day as a new beginning, a new opportunity to turn over a new leaf and leave the mistakes behind her.  More often than not she, (and all of us) end up making some of the same mistakes over again, but the attempt at self-actualization is a reward in itself.  I want to be more like that, more able and willing to let go of the past and focus on the amazing possiblilites of the future.

before I go off on yet another tangent, I'm going to put the "TO BE CONTINUED" sign up.  **someone** is bringing me some ice cream (yay!) and I can't wait to hear the exploits of the day.

Until later my friends...
