| Fear vs LoveWhen our lives are dictated by fear or judgment, we tend to cling to ourselves and hold on tightly to what we fear may be taken away from us. But when our lives are dictated by love, we learn to trust in others and transform ourselves into what we could be.

| What If.....I forgo all practical instincts and logical social expectation....
...and decide to teach children instead of research....
...I worked right after graduation instead of pursuing a PhD...
...I chose to get a PhD in Education instead of Neuroscience...
...I choose to serve the younger population instead of myself...
...I take the road less taken...

| Fireworks!Wow. Yesterday was a pretty awesome day. Like, really awesome. I can tell because the weather cooperated with us for the entire day. So that's always a good sign.
First we went to the Esplanade around noon/1 ish and sat for a bit and reserved our spots right by the waterline. We played some Uno and some games, waited around till 3 and went back to PKT for a roofdeck BBQ. Yummy BBQ, Shaws trip, cranberry muffins, and then we headed back to the Esplanade around 6 pm to wait another 3/4 hours for the fireworks. We played Contact, card games (or variations of em) and just broke bread, ate bread and pretzels and yummy hummus. We laughed, we made jokes, we ended the Pops concert and sang really loudly out of tume for Sweet Caroline...
...and then there were THE FIREWORKS.
They were just so amazing and so big. I don't think I've ever seen them so beautiful up close. With a group of friends whom I really cared about and I know who cared about me. It was probably the most memorial July 4th I've had. :)
On a side note, this is a line that came to me yesterday when I was reflecting and I can't seem to forget about it...
"He plants seeds, hoping that we will wait long enough for them to blossom"
Also, when I was doing QT outside Isaiah 42 (and consequently 43) came to mind. Very interesting

| Sleep!I just had to post this entry because this is the first time I was able to sleep within half an hour of lying in bed, before 2 AM, and got SLEEP!!! woot!
Granted, I had some pretty weird dreams, and woke up @ 5 and @ 7 AM, but hey, thats better than not sleeping until those times, so I'm not complaining.
whee!!!!
On a brighter note, watching the Boston pops concert yesterday @ the Hatch shell was pretty fun. Yay for orchestras, Keith Lockhart, Overture of 1812, Neil Diamond, and most importantly, STARS AND STRIPES FOREVER! hehe, I feel like I can see the notes playing in my sleep.... probably still in one of my folders somewhere.
Anyways, Todays the actual fourth, so we'll see what's in store for tonight! :D
