the board meeting should be starting soon. it's funny how i keep forgetting about it. i think really i am just trying to block it from my thoughts so that i am not terribly nervous. do i have reason to doubt?

a friend of mine who has been seriously dating a man for over a year ended the relationship last week. we all thought she would be getting engaged a week ago and then planning the wedding for this summer. the strangest part is that the same thing happened to her best friend and roommate not 3 months ago.

i read the most amazing book today. for some reason, i cried, a lot, at the end. it was not really a sad ending. and not so happy that it caused tears. i felt... nostalgic and bittersweet. i felt like i was crying about many things, but i couldn't place what they were.

i've had some humbling little reminders lately. first, a story from a friend about an engaged couple who had to move apart one month before they were married [in february]. then in march, they got married, but are still separated by several states. second, my boss, who was called in the middle of the night and told he was next on the list for a lung transplant. he rushed to the hospital and prepared to have a double surgery...but it fell through and he is back to the waiting game.

i can't thank God enough for his faithfulness.
