Â
- time with my sonÂ
- the opportunity to leave work while it is still light outsideÂ
- enough time to read an entire book in one dayÂ
- a cleared out email system (at home or at work would be nice!)Â
- more time to communicate with my friendsÂ
- to feel better physicallyÂ

A blog documents about 3 percent of a person’s life in my opinion. I would have to do nonstop writing to document it all and then I’d be blogging not living. I don’t know if it’s just me or if it’s widespread because my perspective could be slanted but doesn’t it feel like the majority of blogland is bored with blogging? I’ve seen tons of people move, change, stop writing, and perhaps start living? Perhaps we latch onto blogging when times are tough in order to work through those times. In fact that’s what I did.Â
I’m not perfect now…but I was certainly a mess then. When I think about the person I am now and how I’m living my life compared to who I was back in 2001, I nearly shudder at the vast differences. I’m still the same person but greatly improved.  I was just looking at my grades and schedule, just got another A-. I’ll take it. I have 39 credits left and then I can enroll into a Masters Degree program. Me? Yes, sometimes I scare myself at how much I have changed.
A co-worker of mine just said “ya know what I can’t understand? Why can’t chickens talk like parrots? It’s so unfair.â€

I’m currently taking a political course being taught by a House rep from a state not my own.  It’s like getting a firsthand look into the government system via him.  He shared with us that he makes $31,000 as a House Representative.  It certainly doesn’t pay to try to fight for new laws. This class is changing me….it is a good feeling when education changes you. It’s even a more wonderful thing to learn from someone that is “doing†not just “teaching†or reading from a textbook.

Love, how did I find you?
Was I even breathing before I knew your name?
Who could ever have planned this?
Arranged a whole planet to all turn out this way.
Hey, only Heaven knows
The dreams behind these things I’m asking
Even our angels look surprised
To bump their wings in passing
I love you
How can I say,
I love you
Let the words escape
Though you snuck up behind me
I thought I was hiding
But oh how I fell for you
My heart beats double inside me
As I learn to love it
Say my prayers for two
Hey, only Heaven saw
The tears I cried
On the day I met you
If the whole world goes wrong
I’ll don a cape
And fly to your rescue
Because I love you
How can I say,
I love you
Let the words escape
Let the words escape
Let the words escape
-Chris SmithÂ
