The latest

Its nearly 12:30 am on a Wednesday night and I can't seem to fall asleep. I wish I could-it's late and I have an early morning and a super long day tomorrow. But I can't...so I will write.

The last few days have been fantastic! Yesterday I played soccer with my friends and had an "ah ha" moment. We were playing under the lights at Cal Anderson Park in Seattle when half way through I became totally distracted by the moon. It was so big and bright and beautiful. And it made my mind think of almost everything besides soccer. I imagined walking on the moon and being in space. One time I heard a speaker at a conference say (his name has slipped my mind but he is a man who has been able to go to space a few times) that all the world leaders should go to space together. He said that if they did that, he is convinced our world would find world peace. He said everything made sense in space...that the only thing that really mattered when you looked at the earth through the little window on the shuttle were the people living on the planet. Interesting thought.

Anyway, back to last night, I was daydreaming about what it'd be like to be on the moon. And what it would be like to look at the earth while standing on the moon.

On Saturday I went to a Personal Growth seminar. I went with a group of friends. Alana invited us. It was all day and it was awesome. I relearned things that I had forgotten and discovered other things for the first time. One of the reminders that I had was I have become associated with some of Seattle's best people and I feel lucky to have such incredible humans as friends.And the best part about that is they feel the same way about me...

My 26th birthday is on Saturday. My best friend Pam is taking me to dinner. Before that I am spending time with Chels and Mel-other amazing friends who told me they are committed to making my birthday memorable. Once again, I feel lucky to have wonderful people in my life.

I realize this is short and random but I am starting to feel tired. Thank goodness.

Be back soon.

Excuse my geekiness, but this post is in the Montaigne-essay form. Essay means "to try" and in the process of tying seemingly unlinked ideas together you find new knowledge. This type of essay often uses nature, or a walk outside as the launching point for a discussion of ideas. Point being, the randomness is working for me. Love it.

Happy birthday on Saturday! I can't believe we are getting so old! Just kidding, but it is crazy to think that it has been 8 years since high school. I hope you have a fabulous birthday week.
