Friday

A jacked up girl.



In two thousand eight I:

loved new york for the 2nd time






got to be on tv with mom, aunt and uncle


[that's not uncle. that's al roker]


moved to the grand canyon with bailey





lived at the edge of a hole for two months





hiked the entire hole and loved it, suprisingly





became vegetarian



went to hawaii with my other sister, gena





skydived (skydove?) over the island





danced my heart out at a bsb concert





met THEM





got over him



worked before six thirty am for a solid 8 months (a feat, surely)



shaved my head



raised my gpa!



grew my testimony




met my husband




it was a fantastic year. hard, terrifying, beautiful. a year of discovery. a year of growth.



i have learned that my family is most important. my savior loves me. my friends
are true.



in 2009, i will strive to






simplify



share [a smile, love, the Gospel, backstreet pride, etc.]



and



be more patient






Happy new year.

That was definitely an awesome year for you! You had lots of fun stuff and growing experiences!

love after love

The time will come when, with elation,
you will greet yourself arriving
at your own door, in your own mirror,
and each will smile at the other's welcome,
and say
sit here. Eat.
You will love again the stranger
who was your self.
Give wine. Give bread.
Give back your heart
to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life...

Take down the love
letters from the bookshelf,
the photographs,
the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror.
Sit.
Feast on your life.

~Derek Walcott
