VW Van

Today

On my way to the boys' house, a VW van turned right at Imperial and Idaho. The man driving it had the hugest grizzly white beard/mustache I have ever seen and to match, he had stuffed palm fronds into either side of the spare tire on front so it looked like his van had a huge mustache as well. I love people.

Beautiful

Tonight, or rather, this very early morning

I checked my facebook one last time and saw that Lexi had left me a wall post that said simply:

you are beautiful

I don't think she could possibly understand how much I needed to hear that. I have felt very ugly for a long time.

It's amazing that in an age of communicating via internet and text messages, things can still be powerful, as these last three entries have demonstrated. Lexi tells me I am beautiful almost every time I see her. I guess I forgot recently. Thanks Lexi, you are one of the most beautiful people I know.

Never

Tonight

I was reminded of how woven God is inside all of us, whether we like it or want it or neither.

Liz promises to never give up on me. The thing with Liz is that she keeps promises more often than other people I know. If she doesn't mean it, she doesn't say it.

I am so thankful for this reminder. God holds us without hands and speaks to us without sounds.

If you won't give up on me

then I won't give up on you

Tonight

Beth C told me I have been in her thoughts and prayers a lot recently. That just floored me. But I realize the amazing fact that I am loved even when I find it hard to love myself. Mandy is right.

Voice

Tonight

About to leave the boys' house around midnight when I hear music. I stop and listen. Kyle is playing guitar and singing in his room. It's absolutely beautiful. The kind of music I would drift off to sleep to. I listen for about an hour before finally going home.

Liz

Today

I saw Liz.

:D

Veronica

Today was really hard and long and exhausting

but I got to see Veronica at the National Mall of all places.

Yes <3
