ahhh...sunday....

i absolutely love sunday afternoons...i come home from church and i can just rest and relax, and not have to do to much...today was a very good sunday -- my neighbour spoke on what it's like to live with a terminal illness (she's had cancer off and on for years and years...) ... and my mom actually came to church with me...this is very big news, indeed!...she has been coming in and having lunch with me after church, but today she was there for the whole thing, and it was just awesome!!....

....

today, it's not sure what it wants to do outside...it's warm, which is good...and right now it's sunny and windy....the leaves are swirling around on the breeze and every so often flashes of reds, yellows, browns, and oranges will zip by the window...the sunlight catches on them and it's absolutely stunning...

however, we've also been experiencing scattered showers today...but they never last very long or anything, so that's good...

.....

right now i'm listening to some great folk music (david francey...of course...) ... and writing in my blog...i'm debating putting on some water for a nice hot cup of tea...the only thing is, we're about empty of honey here at the house (i must pick some up tomorrow!!) so i'll probably go with a sweeter tea like the vanilla or the peach, as opposed to the earl grey....

....

i'll be doing some homework shortly...i just have to write two jounral entries for my academic journal, but one of them is sort of already done, thanks to a conversation i had with my cousin steve last night on an instant messenger....i'm mostly going to take parts of our conversation, the ones that relate to things we've been talking about in my class, and use that as an entry, because it will be acceptable, i'm sure...

my teacher said we could write about anything we wanted to, really, as long as it was revelant to class, and the conversation i had with my cousin fits in with things we've already discussed...

i got both of my reports done yesterday -- i did one on the DARE program and one on amphetamines....i learned a lot from both, of course...

anyways, it's such a beautiful day out, i think i'm going to go out and enjoy some of this gorgeous day...

it's back to work tomorrow, and back to my normal routine....i really think i'm ready for a change, though....

have a blessed sabbath, everyone...

how i woke up this morning: carrie newcomer cd in my alarm clock cd player...i hit snooze a few times, though...

one good thing that happened to me: my mom came to church with me....also, a one year old boy at church snuggled with me when i picked him up and then when i set him down he looked right up at me and held his arms up and out towards me again, wanting to be picked up again...of course, i did...but, that made me feel really good...i love that little guy...also, he saw me again later after the service and his mom was holding him (and he's a mama's boy -- big time!...) but he saw me and shot his arms right out and was squealing, wanting to come see me yet again...children are such a gift and a blessing...i really don't know what i'd do without all of the children that are in my life...i yearn for the day when i can have my own....
