Life, at this moment

How can anyone resist a survey, right?

Right now, I am...

:: marveling at my new, beautiful set of rings from an amazing silversmith in Jerusalem, Israel--they feel perfect

:: tired of weekly assigned readings for my classes. I'm truly, honestly over reading for class.

:: laughing because that is what you do when things are out of your control and you just have to embrace the moment, and the unknown beyond it

:: overwhelmed by the effort, art, and never-ending disheartening search for a full-time job after graduation

:: pleasantly surprised that there is a cupcake kiosk right near my office that is better than any I've been able to find lately. dangerous.

:: wondering where in the heck I will be living in 4 months' time (also, what I'll be doing...)

:: grateful for my boyfriend

:: hearing silence, one of my most favorite sounds

:: going to the coffee shop down the street soon, since I skipped breakfast and my regular morning cup earlier

:: planning an art project

:: digging deeper every day into the history, activism, and modern-day issues surrounding HIV/AIDS and its devastation

:: creating new friendships (by being brave enough to seek them out)

:: listening to something greater than me, trusting that having no plan is OK right now

:: saying less is more

:: inspired by every square I view of the AIDS Memorial Quilt, and the stories and lives behind each

:: happy to be in Atlanta, Georgia

:: delighted that my capstone project might actually work

:: waiting to see what meaning I can create out of my passions, interests, and talents -- is there a job that suits all I seek to do, be, change, in this world?

:: being the person I am, each day at a time
