friday.

good day, sunshine.
on days where the sun is out in the morning, that song always pops in my head. i can still hear paul mccartney belting it out.... we went to his concert in november 05 and it was nothing short of amazing. it was weird to see him in person. anyways, love the beatles, love that song and especially love it on sunny days.

i just have to laugh when i rush out the door late to class, scramble to get a parking spot, rush my buns inside to find a seat, and the professor talks for 2 minutes to review what's going on for the last week of class, then let's us out 45 minutes early. why did i come again?

maybe it is because He knew i needed a bit of a morning spent sitting in this breeze-thru where the sun pours in the windows and there are green plants growing...

we are having a combined yard sale with my parents tomorrow. we have a buttload of stuff to sell, but so far we've gotten none of it organized or ready to go. good thing i can look forward to that later... i am one of those people who detests clutter with every bone in my body and loves to live simple and paired down. our house is anything but simple and paired down right now and i'm really looking forward to getting rid of the stuff we don't need and hoping it goes to people who really do need it or can use our un-useables. i feel guilty having too much stuff. it's not good for a person. i really want to live more simply. i mean, we still are college students who probably have not much, according to the world's standards... but it's becoming too much stuff by our standards.

i think He has been moving in us and leading us to where we can live in ways that are healthier for us, for the environment, and a place where we are doing what we can to not suck up material possessions when a lot of the rest of the world has nothing. i just really started becoming so much more aware of this, i think, when tim was in africa.
