Happy Thursday!

Today, I will accompany my sister to drop off my parents and brother at the airport, and then accompany my niece who has an appointment with her doctor, all in a city. After living in Seattle these past two years, I've grown real accustomed to city life, even if not in the traditional sense of hanging out downtown, etc. so I'm real excited about being in Portland.

Even though I've enjoyed my last few days of rest while home, it's nice to have something, anything, to do.

What are you doing today?

Whatever it is, I hope it's just what you need.

Happy Thursday, friends!

How are you doing?

You know, lately, I've been feeling really good about things. People ask me all the time, "How are you doing?" and my response is always, "um...good." But really, I am. I am doing well. I guess I just don't stop to think about it very often and I need to be doing a better job of that but I really have no reason to complain. I have all my girls here with me and minus a few colds, they are healthy. I am finding that as people start to get settled into their roles with a new year here at SPU, my friends and I are learning to make time for each other, which is wonderful cause time with them is life-giving and though there is always so much to do with school, (when isn't there?) I'm feeling optimistic. Time will find its way and things are going to get done, one way or another. Maybe that's a bad view but right now, i'm gonna roll with it.

So yeah, i'm "um...good" and I like it.
