some thoughts

I would like to get back into updating this blog a little more often. I used to be good at it, then I stopped writing b/c it has an emotional toll and I wasn't willing to pay that. However, writing is fun and I miss doing it and for all 5 (6, including my mother) people who actually read this deal-I'm sure reading about the lizard escapade is getting a little old.

I've never wanted this space to be something where I pour my heart out, let's be honest, I've never been that vulnerable and sharing my heart with the world via blogger just seems unwise. However, I do want it to be a place where I am honest about life whether that be humor, sarcasm, or grievances. And I would like to start using this forum to do that again.

The last few months has been a time of growth for me. The Lord has revealed a lot to me and has begun to restore things that I thought were lost. I hope that it makes me better able to love those around me and to live the abundant life that God has promised. With all that said, all these things have required that I re-evaluate my goals. So I thought I would share some of those with you. Any thoughts are much appreciated. :)

1.) read The Brothers Karamozov (the book just sits on my shelf, mocking my intelligence)

2.) paint more, learn actual technique

3.) learn to play either banjo or drums

4.) brush up on piano and cello

5.) get a tan

6.) learn more about JAX

7.) places to visit in 2010: Austin, Seattle, Mobile, lakehouse

8.) convince my brother not to move to the other side of the country (at least attempt)

9.) learn Greek

10.) learn to solve a rubiks cube

11.) beat Adam Langley at stratego

...I was going to try to end on a good solid number, but I like to leave you all wanting more, so 11 it is.

p.s. If you were a Christian rapper, what would your name be? I'm going with 'lil princess (being that Sara means princess)
