It's getting warm and I'm looking forward to summer activities - hiking, biking, water rafting, etc. I might be doing some of these things solo, unless I could get some friends to join me. Sometime you're so excited, you don't want to wait for anyone - that adventurous spirit craving the outdoors and new adventures.
It's inspiring to see the places and adventures that people have experienced. I want it. I want to live my dreams, my passions - the things that make me feel alive and excited to be here.
The warm weather is beckoning me to be out there.

Coming this Summer

I want to see 500 Days of Summer. Just from the trailer, it looks like a quirky and funny love story with a pretty sweet soundtrack. I hope it's as good as it looks.

Sunday Thankful Prayer
Dear God,
Thanks for my little sister. Today is her birthday and I'm glad she was born 21 years ago. She is growing up and learning to be such a responsible young woman.
Today we had a great time together. I took her and one of her friends to go skiing. The weather was nice and sunny. It was a lot of fun being in the mountains. I'm glad I have a family member that enjoy the amazing beauty of the outdoors as much as I do.
Graciously,
H

It's nicer to be liked
I'm not seeking to be the popular girl at work, but I strive to be a team player as well as a likable person. Yet today, for a moment, I let someone take away that good feeling I had.
She isn't in my department and I wouldn't want to work with her that close, but still, she frightens me. I'd tell myself to just say hi to her like I do everyone else. It was harder today, after I walked pass her in the hallway, I saw the look on her face and felt that hateful vibe again. When I got into my office, I just cried. It's not that I want us to be friends, but it bothers me that someone could hate me that much for no reason.
In the end, the way she treats people is her karma, and the way I react will be my karma. I'm hoping she'll just get some medication to fix her crazy notion of me as her enemy.

Reminiscence
When I was eighteen and starting college, I met a dark hair young man. We met at a dance.
I wasn't sure how long he was looking at me, but when I caught his eyes, I felt an instant connection. I decided to walk over and ask him to dance. I thought he was handsome but I was too shy to show him much genuine interest.
A month later, we ran into each other at another local dance, and he asked me to dance to the same song that I had danced with him the first time. He could have been just another guy, but he left an impression on me because he was different than other guys. He was interesting to talk to and he made me laugh, a lot. I liked the way he paid attention to me and the way he made me feel.
I didn't know if I would see him again. Oddly enough, a couple months after the second dance, we ran into each other on campus. When I saw him walk over to me, I couldn't believe we were meeting again, my heart was racing and my pupils dilated as he got closer. This time, we didn't want to walk away again without exchanging numbers.
The reason why memories of him came back to me tonight is because I accidentally came across his sister's blog, and there was a picture of him. He looks the same as I remember him nine years ago. We both had moved on with our lives. I haven't thought about him or seen him since, but for a short moment, a part of me wondered... how would it be if things had turn out differently. It doesn't change anything, but it was nice to have a moment of reminiscent.
