In the beginnings...

This is the first post in my new blog. I am pretty excited.
I write a lot, but i rarely write to blog. I guess it is worth a shot.

I might post a few short stories every once and a while. That is, if I don't delete them.
I am pretty excited about this.

I have recently returned from a trip to Costa Rica and I loved it. I don't think people realize how much I want to go back. Honestly, I want to go back for a few months. I developed some great friendships with the people of Costa Rica and some people in the States. I want to start kissing people on the cheek. It's funny. The people don't just kiss the side. They full fledge kiss your cheek. The respect each other so much there. They treat each other like the brothers and sisters we all are. It was just so great to really see the love of Christ shining through people.



Currently, as far as life goes, I am just trying to figure out each individual day. For so long, I have searched for what the future holds. Now, I am really focusing on what today holds. I have thought briefly, about seminary. I don't know if it is a thought that will stick or if it will fade, but regardless, it is there and I accept it. I have also contemplated the idea if creative writing and literature.

The future scares me half to death and having to deal with it is painfully exhausting.
I took a break from school for a while because these decisions were giving me panic attacks. I have gotten a lot better, but I still have them.

I am pretty bad about not sharing my feelings with very many people. This means that it comes out via short stories and prose. This also means that when things are discovered I get hassled about them. I think I just don't want to bother people with my problems. I do have my select friends that I share most everything with. I think my main complaint is that I don't feel the need to call them as soon as something happens. Maybe I should. I do call people with good news. I do call my friends when something funny happens. But, I don't know.

So, that is what I am dealing with. I work a lot. I laugh a lot. I read a lot. I like puzzles. I like crosswords. I like crafts. I like my cat. I like peaches.

that is it for now.
