Where to begin…
I guess at birth I just had a great start. I love life because it is so rich! I have nothing of material value that really drastically effects my life or makes me live differently. I have something so much more valuable! I have incredible friends and magnificent family members. These are the people that talk, engage, shape and influence me. I love them to no end and wish there were a way to let them know. I think that life is also rich because I have a faith in God that has traversed generations. Through anorexia, car wrecks, college, teen years, dating relationships gone sour, friendships made and dissolved, GOD has been there ALWAYS. Not that many of those things ever happened with frequency, but because God has tested my faith it is stronger and has made my life thus. I believe in the possibility to change the world, immature as that may seem. I think that nothing is impossible and I have this insatiable hunger for more of life, in all its life-ness. To love and live is a privelege and a choice. I keep busy, eat right, don’t sleep enough, push my limits constantly, try new things, travel, read, talk, walk, listen, observe, touch, see, taste. I live in a great location where all of this is possible and where most people are accepting and actively involved in at least part of those experiences.
I love life because I have life and the ability to live it. If that is ever taken away, then I hope to be in Heaven.

I love life because it is so unpredictable. today I listened so much to what so many people had to say, thinking that if I just keep listening and stop talking, I will hear and learn and know so much more. Is that wisdom or secrecy?
I listened to one story of a ruined relationship and coudl completely and totally relate, except that I only hope the very best for mine…he is certainly deserving of the best this world has to offer.
I listened to soem great humor regarding someone’s own perspective on their age, wisdom and abilities.
I listened to a girl I just met tell me how excited she is to become someone’s wife. Aw, shucks. That guy will be happy, I guarantee, and I know the feeling is mutual and the two are mature and ready to embark on a journey as one. I love success and that will be a success.
I listened to someone tell me how alone they felt, but how glad they were to have someone that would listen, not talk and just be an ear.
I listened to the sound of silence and enjoyed that kind of closure on the day.
I listened to my coworkers and was never short of entertained by their wit and sense of humor. I love my job!
I listened to birds this morning and cars driving by and the world around me and thought how forunate I was to be able to hear. Must start listening more!
I listened to God tonight when He wanted a few minutes of my time….the best few minutes of the entire day, so fresh and so clean!
