A lazy day is what I deserved and so I allowed myself to indulge in sleep and buffalo wings.  The extent to which I vegetated included cookies and cream and Tim Burton movies.  The most extreme action I took part in today was keeping the outdoor kittens from following grandma down the driveway.  A long week of headaches, matricualtion, little girls, and physical therapy, concluded with an honors paper about a French revolutionist, further fueled my desire to do NOTHING!  And so, Saturday was my lazy day and starting tomorrow I will be alert and aware of the things that I ought to be doing before the morning of the Monday that follows. 
As for now, I giggle and admire my kittens and their spunk.  Their tenacious and excuberant nature that permits them to do almost anything.  I envy their never ending energy and their tiresome antics. And I love them for their eternal unconditional love they give to me.

The Lord blesses all of us according to our needs. I find that I am most grateful that He knows my needs even when I don't. My health is always going to be an issue and I have accepted this fact and try to do my best with what I have got. Despite the many physical limits I am subject too, I have recently been able to graduate from the GED program with Honors. I'm attending my 3rd semester of community college and maintaining a 3.86 average. I recently changed my major from Anthropology to Early Childhood Education with a focus in Special Needs. I have a wonderful family who supports me in all I wish to do.  I'm the luckiest aunt and sister in the world and relish the times I spend with my siblings and their families. I can't help but feel blessed and I hope that my gratitude is evident to those around me. I am filled with the peace that comes from simple accomplishment and moreover with the peace of knowing that I am a well loved daughter of God. I pray that I may be blessed further with the opportunity to share this joy with an eternal companion of my own someday.
