Tie 178

Well it's May sixth. Nothing special, just woke up this morning by the grace of God. I could have died but I didn't. I'm very grateful to be alive. So many things I haven't done and wish to do. I'd like to impact people's lives, make someone smile and give a stranger a hug. I think I've done that last one a couple of times already. Anyway, kinda got a tiny headache, don't really know why I get these chronic headaches but oh well. Gonna try to live today like it's my last. Much love, K
Totally forgot to tell you where this tie came from. It's from New Zealand! Grandma got it for me. At first I thought there were apples on it but upon closer inspection they seem to be sheep. Big fat white sheet minus one which is black. Don't know why that is but it's there. Out- Kiwi Tie

Well I didn't do any of the things I had planned for today. I woke up, showered, got dressed, ate breakfast and began to read my textbook. My plans to eat with my square were cancelled and so I went to a BBQ place called Dinosaur with my grandma and her friend. It was really good. Took a walk with the friend, Ms. Janet. And we talked and stuff. Made me think about going places and doing things outside of NYC. I know many important people are here but not what I want to do with my life. I want to learn Chinese and Korean and Spanish. I want to travel and see other countries. So today has helped me see lots of things in different lights. Plans for tonight: Finish reading, plan Sunday school, work on final exam and have some quite time with Jesus. Much love, K

So today, I tried to wake up early to do my laundry but it was really hard to get up. I eventually did and slowly but surely, I did my laundry and was done by 4. I then went to the hair salon where I got a perm and then went to church. At church, I sat with my old ladies and worked on my crochet tie. After that was choir rehearsal and then home. While walking, I realized that I really needed some quite time with God, so that's what I did. I'm reclaiming me and God time. I really need it so I don't get lost in the demands of life. I need to take some time out and talk with my creator and source of all my strength. I plan to read my bible daily and pray much more often. That is the plan, hopefully it all works out. Oh and on my way to church, there is this one street that has cars with license plates from all over. I saw one from Vermont, California... I like the read the things on the bottom. Like Vermont was the green mountain state. Louisiana was the Lincoln state. Connecticut is the constitution state. And you get the idea, I just want to know them all if I can. Anymore you know of? Much love, K

Hehe. Today is going pretty swell. I woke up kind of upset but that passed really quickly when I thought about what a blessing it was to even wake up this morning. So I'm not going to spend it being sad or mad, I'm going to try and enjoy as much of it as I can. I'm really excited that two of my very wonderful friends celebrate birthdays this month. On Friday my best friend of fourteen years will be 23, I'm just so blessed to have good friends like that. Love you Sam! Much love, K

Hosanna! Today was crazy. I spoke on the phone with this lady for forty five minutes and had to get told to by my boss to hang up. That was the most interesting thing from my day at work. Then I was tutoring. The one kid always complains but the second was cool. We talked and watched Marilyn Monroe. And then I decided to talk to my wonderful boyfriend because I miss him a whole lot. I am speaking with him as I write this. He has to study French and finish his physics homework. But sadly his physics is much too difficult. Who's idea was it to create physics? Anyway, happy hump day! Much love, K

Well today, I didn't feel like getting up, well not really. I just kinda wanted a lazy couple more hours but that wasn't happening with my grandma and sister coming in and out of my room. Oh well, I finally got up and got dressed and ate breakfast. Happy Birthday to the bestest friend a girl could ask for, Roofie. Today she is 24! I thought turning 23 was getting old but turning 24 doesn't seem to bad. I know if Ruth can do it, so can I. So in ten months I will also be following in her foot steps. I can't wait to see what the Lord has planned from now until then. Off to work to see what things I shall be doing today and then class until 9. I will try to not get into trouble this time. Much love, K
