The highlights of my week:
Mon. I floated, face up, in a swimming pool staring at the sky. I was surrounded by a garden that could be a small model of someone's imagination of what the Garden of Eden looks like. It was priceless. With all the spinning that goes on in my head while my thought process goes from subject to subject, for a small moment, everything seemed clear. I was in complete peace. When I'm close to nature, I often feel closer to God.
Tues. I took some great pics. with a photographer friend of mine. He's going into his last year of high school and making more money than most people my age. He took me into a cornfield. OH! How it was HOT! Favorite part: My roommate, Donald, carried me over some mush so my new shoes wouldn't get dirty. He's so brave; he walked through the field with us, even though he was afraid of seeing a snake.
Wed. I got summer theater works put on my schedule, so I can have 3 hrs worth of an A!
Thurs. Finally, my gum recession was fixed. I had a minor surgery. My g'parents came to see me and bring me ice cream! The best part of my day was seeing my niece Ava. She's such a happy baby. Unfortunately, she got really fussy as she was sleepy. I took her from my mother, and walked around the house with her singing lullaby, Brahms Symphony #3 in F. 3rd movement, and my best impression of Ella Fitzgerald's I've Got a Crush. She got so happy and after 8 minutes of singing, her head went plop on my chest. I'm just her aunt, but for a split second, I felt as close as a mother to her.
Today, I got a call from Dr. Gary DeWitt. So nice! He wanted to check up on my gum's recovery. I'm poppin' Advil like it's candy. Advil has a sweet outer coating btw. I don't always enjoy Alexandria, but I feel so nurtured here. My mom is serving me like I'm a baby, my g'parents are so concerned about my minor gum surgery, and my sweet niece is here. I suppose that's what makes coming home so special. If I lived here, it'd get old fast.
There are so many memories at home (some good and bad). Some memories, I can't make sense of why things happen the way they do. Today, my mind went back to when I thought everyone could sing. I didn't know I had a gift. It's not that I think I sing really great, but singing has really gotten me through a lot. Things I can't write to the public. They're the things I write in my other journal I've kept since yr. 2000. You could say that's when my life got interesting because I wanted to be interesting. It didn't get very interesting until Oct. 21, 2003 (another story/day). As I recently read my journal, I saw that I've changed so much since 2000. I started crying. Who I used to be to who I am now, it's all very very different. I can only hope I'm "changing for the better." I'm gonna stop now, before I start quoting/singing WICKED. |
