here we are

{I forgot where i found this picture. sorry. anyone know?}

but first

here i am . . .
sitting eating dark chocolate covered almonds
purchased direct from the bookstore
and listening to some blues.

what an array of emotions and feelings
experienced practically everyday!

i want to tell you about one in particular because it so gosh darn great!
but i will have to keep that one close to my heart.

but i am grateful.

sister is back in p-town, with ME!
i have great friends who are so good at being there for me.
and i'm starting to see things unfold
it's what keeps me going

that and the fact that i am never truly alone
because my savior is always there for me.

wishing you love and joy,
Kenj

un petit poème

« Et le lierre vient mieux de lui-même et l’arbousier croît plus beau dans les antres solitaires, et les oiseaux, sans art, n’en ont qu’un chant plus doux. » Properce, I, II, 10."

"And the ivy grows better of himself and the arbutus grows best in solitary dens, and birds, without art, does have a softer song. "Propertius, I, II, 10."

so i don't go crazy

I'm trying to find joy in the little things

and here they are:

1. walking on campus by myself really early or really late {both of which have been happening quite often}. It's the perfect time to de-clutter and de-stress my mind.

2. skeleton leaf. i picked up one the other day!

3. new opportunities {I'm learning to love & embrace them}.

4. making time for myself to read or take pics desipte being super busy.

5. making dinner, not just grabing some crackers and string cheese on-the-go.

6. realizing that my worst days are really the best days! {if you want to know why, just ask me!}

7. looking for things that make me happy!

love

penelope and mullets

I don't live with them anymore, but it's things like this that I get to look forward to every time I visit!

I'm quite lucky. ;)

Also can I just say how much I love BYU?! I've been feeling a lot of pride for my school lately. I'm really blessed to be attending such an amazing university with some pretty fantastic people.


Also I have a little present for you!
I love sharing little lovelies!
this . . .
is a sweet video I ran across this summer and meant to post ages ago.

One more thing, I am jamming to the sounds of N'SYNC right now.
I highly recommend that you do the same ;)

{I need to learn how to blog on one subject really well rather that a bunch of random things. I need to revamp this blog and make it more interesting, but alas other things have taken precedence at the moment.}

It's happening again.

I feel an ache coming on to run and jump and "commune" with nature.

I'm ready to throw responsibility out the window, forget all my cares and just . . . BE.

Lots of changes have come. I knew it would happen.

It is good.

I am taking a little blogging break.
