and i can’t even think of a clever title!

i’ve been staring at this blank space for over an hour and i can’t get my thoughts together enough to write much of anything.

my weekend has been really weird.

i’m drained of all energy.

i’m really missing a lot of people right now.

my heart feels unsettled.

maybe i should get some sleep.

i leave you with this because it’s just pretty (and more interesting than my blog):

day 14…and i’ve got nothin’

things i want to write about but can’t get past the first two sentences:

- our trip to Africa. we leave in 6 weeks. What???
- the six shots i got for said trip to Africa — five in one day! i’m hardcore.
- the gross new york weather and how it makes me feel (ugh)
- the amount of money i have spent on cabs lately because of the gross weather and how i also seem to be running late a lot these days

- the fact that i’m in my bed at 8:30 on friday night. i’m tired. obvi.
- my grandfather
- how excited i am that i have company coming next weekend
- the twilight movies (that’s right, i said movies PLURAL!)
- how much i love my blackberry. her name is rose.

real post tomorrow instead of a lame list, which will require that i get out of bed and do something worth writing about. here’s to hoping!

…and the sun will set for you

“Maybe this is what grace is, the unseen sounds that make you look up. I think it’s why we are here, to see as many chips of blue sky as we can bear…to notice flickers of the divine, like dust notes on sunbeams in your dusty kitchen. Without all the shade and shadows, you’d miss the beauty of the veil. The shadow is always there, and if you don’t remember it, when it falls on you and your life again, you’re plunged into darkness. Shadows make the light show.”

- Anne Lamott
