Words of Wisdom

“The events in our lives happen in a sequence in time, but in their significance to ourselves they find their own order: the continuous thread of revelation.”

Spring is Near!

It seems like the trees are blooming overnight! I took my grandfather to the doctor on Monday; when we got back that afternoon I could have sworn that the flowers had not been there when we left that morning! The daffodils have awakened in their bright yellow color. The dogwood trees are starting to bloom which always reminds me that Easter will be here soon along with beautiful Spring weather! Today it was amazing outside: sunny with a high of 75 degrees! I love warm weather so I hope that it stays this way and continues to warm up!

Spring always reminds me that light and life always returns even after cold, bleak winters where everything is dead. Life is the same way. As we go from season to season in our lives, know that hard times can only last for so long before beautiful regeneration will take place. Once the beauty begins to shine through, it will have been well worth the wait.

My First "Grown-up" Blog


My dear friend, Rebecca (the bride pictured with me to the left), recently began a blog on here so she inspired me to do the same. I have blogged a little bit on myspace but I think that this is more of a real, "grown-up" blog site; it's high time I at least pretend that I am grown-up enough to have my own official blog so here it is.

I suffer from this problem called overthinking. Some of you may be able to relate. I over-analyze almost everything. Perhaps I am a just a contemplative person; but I doubt that my over-thinking tendencies stem from such a normal thing as that. When I over-analyze people and my experiences with them, it's usually a bad thing. However, I do occasionally spend much time overthinking life in general which sometimes leads me to some pretty cool thoughts. I realize that I have probably never had a completely original thought in my life (neither have you, by the way). However, I am able to come to some pretty cool ways of thinking about things as I combine everything around me into my own thoughts and opinions. Whether you like what I have to say or not, it's nice to get it out. Your comments will be appreciated. Just remember: Don't hate the playa, hate the game.
