To Nowhere

Nothing is ever simple,
As our lives drift to nowhere.
Tattered and torn,
We try to reach the shore
Beaten and bruised
We dream of a better place.
But there is no dock
To keep us there
There is no light
To let us see
There is no shelter
To keep us dry.
As we float away.
To nowhere.

The FIRST Day of School

Tomorrow is the first day of second grade for my almost 7 year old niece. Tomorrow is just another day for me -- but for her -- its exciting. WHO will be in her class? What will her day be like? Who will she have for reading? She is so excited (I am wondering if she is lying awake thinking instead of sleeping RIGHT NOW). I am excited for her and remember my first day(s) of school. Its like there is no routine yet -- new backpack -- new shoes -- new friends. I liked school a lot and so in reflection I have good memories. My FAVORITE grade was 8th...my LEAST favorite was 11th...

So I have just one thing to tell Miss Molly...only 180 school days left until SUMMER! :)

Remember: Water your african violets from the bottom

Touch the end of your nose when you don't want to sneeze.

I heard this at the grocery store yesterday and it worked. It made that urge for the 2nd sneeze go away.

Its funny how you learn these crazy things everyday.

Today I learned that everyone learns to like something they didn't like every 10 years. So for example, I didn't like kiwi fruit when I was a child but now I do. (not really -- does kiwi have a taste?)

Anyway...that is all of my insight for the day.

Remember: Take time to stop and smell the flowers.
