Diane’s World

…many enter, few come out the same

“So we pass the time and occupy our minds, and close our eyes and hope that we’ll be fine”

Sigh.

I feel older than usual.

JOY is…

grilled peanut butter and jelly sandwiches

reading about my nephews on my sister’s blog and missing being with them

falling in love with modern art… and having a logical reason why

long, relaxed conversations even though i know I have a million other things to do

apple cider and mystery muffins in sam g’s cozy apartment

painting for 10 hours, only stopping when security kicked us out of the building at midnight

any art class… especially for the people

the “curious george” soundtrack and the memories it brings

baking brownies for residents’ birthdays

the rush of pretending i’m going to talk to that one boy… but then chickening out. again. (maybe next time…)

finding a new song that describes exactly how I am feeling

the solidarity of the photography dark room

the smell of the room when pot roast is being made

my sister bringing coffee and dinner to me when she heard I was stuck in the painting room all day

long to-do lists that make me feel important

the smell of fall air… and fall weather

the rich concentration of spiritual activities that college allows you to have - chapels, praise and worship, gift, wellspring, bible studies and church. when else in life can you have 6 or 7 God centered activities a week?

being called artistic by 3 different people in one week

finally feeling like an artist

Yes, very busy week. But I’ve been enjoying it recently. I have a huge to-do list, but now instead of a to-do list, I see a million opportunities to become a better person, christian, friend, RA and artist.

Pray for me. I have an insane amount of work before I can even think about going on Tri-State break.
