thanx stef...for the foot up!

ok. the things i've gained.

green in on my face, in my lungs, part of my being.. catching up with a giddy happy ex prairie girl.. chilling on the work front - there are many anal people who exactly the same thing in many different ways - each adimate that their way is the best way.. sunrises over the mountains.. sunsets reflected on the ocean. discovering that i need roots more than originally thought.. discovering some of the best breakfast houses on the face of the planet.. learning about the intimate fears, dreams, desires, insicurities, memories, achievements of anther being.. loving another being.. seeing the beauty in Abbotsford.. insight into my own limits.. knowledge about WoW.. realizing my deep love for the prairies.. reconfirming that there is so much more to life than $$..  knowing that the best things in life require work...holding back never gets us where we want to be.. knowing that my family are my best friends.. everything is worse at night.. i am too much in the moment. 3 weeks is too long.. the last shift always rocks...cuz i'm going home tomorrow!! it's ok to change...as long as i'm evolving, not regressing.. mornings are my time (have known this for a long time).. i'm picky about bedding and towels.. i'm cheap.. i love sushi.. Babylon.. reconfirming my love affair with pho - absence makes the heart grow fonder. the ability to let others make the plans...and truly enjoy the ride.. feeling healthy makes the difference in every moment.. energy is gained through solid sleep.. peace is achieved by leaving it all in Jesus' hands.. i have to give to get.. some tap water is better than some bottled water.. i've gained a deeper respect for honesty, appreciation for sincerity, need for simplicity.. the ability to wait - patiently.. an addiction to trail mix.. a rediculous cell phone bill.. complaining is toxic.. a hate for TV..ok, and SOME hip-hop is alright. ability to cook a roast..i hate jealousy - it's crippling, destructive, shallow - and i have to rid myself of it. i know i must live near water. many interesting roomies!  a few pounds ;) by eating some fantastic curries and my babes fabulous cheesecakes. a rediculous sleep debt. a deep contentment when sitting beside C.
