Whenever I am happy, angry, or upset my face will tell you how I feel.
I don't hide my feelings, although sometimes I try to, but most of the time, I just can't.
When I am happy, you will definitely know it :) And when I am upset, you will probably know (even when I try to hide it...)
My face just says it all.

change
Everyday something changes...sometimes in a good way and sometimes in a tough way. Change is not always easy, however sometimes it is best.
So far, 2009 has been a year of change for me. Small and big.
One change is my address. I know I have posted on the topic before, but this change has been very difficult for me (and my family.) I am still trying to adjust...I am trying to get used to writing down my new address and new telephone number. I am trying to get those last two boxes unpacked that are still sitting in my closet. It is very hard. It makes it real... Passing my old neighborhood, and not turning into it.... Simple little things. Change is hard. My sister and I went to my old house for the last time, we walked around, and suddenly all the memories just came back into mind. Seeing our home completely empty and realizing that that was it. We left with tears in our eyes...trying to stay strong for one another. This change hasn't been easy. But we have made it this far, I know in the end that it will all be ok.
Another change is the new President of the United States, Barack Obama. I may not be his biggest fan....and I will not go buy a t-shirt with his face on it. But, I will respect him as the leader of our country. I will pray so hard that he makes the best possible decisions for the United States of America. I will pray for his wife, and his daughters as I am certain being in the spotlight constantly is not easy. I will hope that this "change" he speaks about will help us in the long run. That is the other big change...
An exciting change: a new semester begins tomorrow. I am taking classes that I feel certain I will enjoy. I am ready for this change. I am excited for what this semester holds....the things I will learn, etc....
I could go on and on about things that have changed...or things that are in the process of changing, but I will leave it at that. Change is tough sometimes, but we get through it, and thats all we can ask for.

snow day
I woke up yesterday to find snow on the ground and coming from the sky. We were already expecting snow, so this wasn't a surprise. Yet, I found myself surprised. The fact that we never get snow was what made me surprised to see snow. My wish came true.
When it snows everything comes to a stop. School is often cancelled (especially here in North Carolina...) Work is sometimes cancelled, places of business are often closed. Everything stops. It is a great feeling, an extra day off, a blessing. And I was more than thankful for my snow day yesterday. Everything is quiet and perfect.
I love snow so much, so when we do get it, it is even more special.

my addiction
I am addicted to gum. Chewing gum.
That's right, I said it. Gum.
Everywhere I go, I have at least a pack with me...if not more, sometimes I have more than one pack, different flavors and all. I chew a peice until it loses flavor, then I chew some more. As soon as I am doing eating lunch or whatever, I put another piece back in my mouth and the cycle continues. I chew it everywhere I go. Home, school, church, friends house, neighbors house, shopping. I am really bad when I am at the store waiting to check out, they always have the gum in the check out line, and it is always screaming my name. The only time I have really ever been called down by a teacher is because I had gum. I think the reason I like it so much is because I always have to be doing something. I get bored easily, and I guess when I have gum, it helps, or gives me the satisifaction that it does.
That is my addiction. Hey, if thats the worst addiction I have, so be it.

savor the moment
To savor is to give oneself to the enjoyment of...and a moment is the present time or any other particular time.
Let me just say one thing about myself, I get very excited over the smallest of things....so when something big and exciting happens or is going to happen, I am extremely excited. I mean I am talking I count down the hours and even minutes until the event has arrived.
My aunt Terri and I watch the show So You Think You Can Dance. Although she lives 3 hours away, that does not stop us from chatting about our dance show. Text messages and Emails and Instant Messages are sent the WHOLE time the show is on (most of the time) and then there after.... Even messages that say three simple letters like OMG come across our phones and computers. One day, close to the finale this past season, Terri sent me a text saying Merry Christmas, check your email. The email said that she got tickets for the So You Think You Can Dance Tour ! She told me about the tickets in August...and the show wasn't until November 12, 2008 @ 7pm (yes, I remember the specifics, too!) and the very day she told me, I began counting down the days and later hours until it was time for our show....
As you can tell, I was SO excited. I don't even think the word excited explains it...it was beyond excitement. The day of the show, all day at school, I could not keep my eyes off the clock. Finally it came down to it. The show began, and we had such a good time. It was better than I could have EVER imagined. I will never forget it....
A few days after the show, someone asked me, "Well, what do you have to look forward to now?" I didn't really respond, but I was thinking, what don't I have to look forward to now? I had the time of my life. I will savor the moment.
I will give myself to the enjoyment of the particular time. Savor the moment.

to dread something
I think that as people especially we dread things. We dread it long before it will happen, and we exaggerate the dreading.
To dread is to fear greatly; be in extreme apprehension of; to be reluctant to do, meet, or experience.
I have noticed that I do dread things a lot. I dreaded going back to school this week.
Most of the time when I dread things, once I am to the point of actually having to do it, it isn't so bad after all. Most of the time things end up better than expected.

better than expected?
My day was great. School actually went well...considering it is Monday...and the first day back after a long holiday break. Mondays....I don't think I have ever said a Monday was "great" before...this is great. I normally HATE Mondays, not today.
I am hoping and praying that the rest of the week will be great. It is always tough after a break...so this was a good start.

Happy New Year and more...
I rang in the New Year with optimistic cheer...looking forward to great opportunities and new beginnings. I am excited to see what God has in store for myself, and my family.
This will be the first year ever to live in this new house...I am sure that it will feel more like home to me soon. I am trying so hard to start thinking "this is my home now..." However, as soon as I convince myself...it goes back to feeling like a hotel, or some vacation. Don't get me wrong, I love this new house sooo much...but I can't seem to call it home....I didn't know it would be so hard to say a simple four letter word. Considering we live in the same area, each time we go to the store, or to get take out, I always think that we are going to turn into my old neighborhood. Even the little things are difficult...who knew? It will take adjustment, and it definitely has just this far...
My break is coming to an end...we go back to school Monday. Not looking forward to that at all, but that is life. This amazing break has flown by so quickly. Now I can't wait til Spring Break. Hmm...already counting the days....65 school days...
I have no idea when I will blog again, the next couple weeks will be hectic with exams coming up...and 2nd semester starting.
Well, off to bed. It's really late...I think 1:15 am counts as late, huh?
Happy New Year to ALL! May God bless you and yours abundantly in the year 2009.
Love to all,
Megan
