keeping your head above water...

Life has such an incredible way of moving faster than we do. I'm starting my fifth day in a row in Ann Arbor. It's so strange that this is the longest I've been in one place in the past 2.5 months. I've literally been around the world and back since December 21! I've really enjoyed all the travel, meeting people, deep connections, and building relationships, but honestly - my spirit is just tired. (It's also 6ish in the morning... so of course, I'm tired!)

I'm really looking forward to this weekend. There's nothing huge planned. I'm going to wear sweatpants, be comfortable, and clean the bathroom sink! I know it sounds like such a simple mundane task, but I just know that getting some of the daily things taken care of this weekend is going to help me feel purified.

There are so many things that I'm thankful for right now though. I'm still riding the spiritual high from being at mission training for 5 weeks, I'm really enjoying new relationships that have started in 2006, I've started losing a few extra pounds (a wedding in Jamaica is a good instigator for wanting to look healthier), and I've been reading some great books too.
