just another normal day

valentines day, 2008, yay!!!!! to be honest i could care less. i have never been able to fully celebrate it in it's popular meaning, but i have reached the point, that after 23 years of living, i really don't care.

now, i don't want to be one of those who sits and feels sorry for themselves because of that, and i am not into the whole substituting it with other events or celebrations for singles or whatever...i just want it to be another normal day. i could sit here and write about how i wish things were different or that this day could mean something special to me, but i don't want to waste my time doing that. that would take up too much of my time and waste yours as well.

no, today is just another normal day. i will wear red (just because it is my favorite color) and i will wear black (just because it is another favorite color), and i plan to eat chocolate (just because i love chocolate), and i will listen to sweet music about love, life, and someone (just because i love all music), and i will appreciate the flowers growing outside my window (just because i love flowers). and i will look forward to my valentine's card from my grandma that has a dollar bill in it for a candy bar. and the text message from my mom and dad saying they love me. yes, that is what i love about this day.

have a great day.

hmmm....thoughts.

so, the saying...my body is a temple...is my motto for these next 40 days. as i wrote in my last blog, i am giving up certain things and adding certain things, all in the hopes to remind myself that my body is a temple. a temple of what, you may ask, well it is a temple of the holy spirit, created to do and fulfill the work that was laid out for me, and grow in health to live a full life. so, now that i just said that, i don't want to sound too christianese but, just a desire to be healthy.

anyways, i suck at blogging, i know...but here i go...not much going on...busy with work and school. i went and worked out this morning, it was good. i want to get a tennis rack or something and find a tennis buddy and go play tennis or something every week. not that i know how tom play tennis...i pretty much suck the three times i have tried it. but just to do something active.

hmmm...something to think about.
