Just Another Summer Day

Not a whole lot has happened recently. I've still got a few books I need to finish, my dad managed to trade his motorcycle for a huge pontoon boat, and I actually got to sleep in today since I'm now done working until I go back to school.

It looks like I'll get a week or two to get my head on straight before going back to Arkansas. Here's to hoping that's a success!

It's now officially summer. The last two days have had highs of 100 and 102 degrees, with promises of ridiculously hot weather still to come. Yuck!

Anyway, life is weird. I got to hang out with some girls from high school the other day, and it was wonderful to see them all again. I'd forgotten how much I missed them and their unique views on things. It was interesting, though, to see how much I had changed. I used to see the world exactly as they did, but I guess my experiences have changed me in more drastic ways than theirs have.

Perhaps really they've just been truer to themselves and I'm allowing myself to be swept away until I'm not really sure what's going on anymore.

In any case, it was a lot of fun, and hearing their different stories and plans for the future got me thinking about how much we really do learn simply by living life day-to-day and talking to other people.

Some day, I'd like to write a book or two about all of the things that life has taught me. I'd like to think it'd be worth reading, especially if there's anything akin to wisdom in it. God knows I've got a long way to go on that count, though.

I don't know what'll happen tomorrow, but for now I'll assume that it'll be a relaxing day and that when it's over, I'll have read a little, written a little, laughed a lot, and tried to love as best I can.
