a peaceful monday night

song: postcards from italy - beirut (a perfect song i might add)

i just put all the energy i wanted to use for writing a new post into cleaning up my room. which in fact i did just do. but now i have zero energy to write what i innitialy wanted to. which was bascially going to be about how good i have been feeling recently. it seems to be a culmination of the discovering myself through my the strengths finder test from my management class, my enneagrams, being happy with my three and oh so different roomates, hearing how happy my parents are even though they are having financial trouble, being able to connect with broseph, my perfect eye opening college classes, the interesting people i have met the past few years, being blessed to live in a part of the world with so much freedom and life and opportunity (where the chance to have someone like barack obama as our president could so closely become a reality),....lets see....still rambling....well i guess im grateful for finally realizing that life is about living in imperfection and loving whatever gets thrown our way. in the words of the oh so profound disney movie meet the robinsons ... "Keep Moving Forward"...it really is the best advice anyone could ever give. everything will turn out the way its supposed to in the end if we just keep moving forward and stop trying to fix the past. and one more quote i'd like to add. one i am stealing from my roomate taylor, and from a book, (tuesdays with morrie) which i am eager to start once i learn how to sit still ... i believe this may be one of the most true things i have ever heard:

“The most important thing in life is to learn how to give out love, and to let it come in.”- Morrie Schwartz
