Phew Genesis.

hot damn its been over a week since my last blog. i need a slap on the wrist for that!
since my last update, i am pleased to announce that i have done a complete 180.
THANK GOD.
after a month of feeling out of place and disgruntled, i am finally settled and happy. genuinely happy. back to my old "dont-need-a-significant-other" kindof happy. and man it feels amazing.

I am finally back into a routine. bed early, rise semi-early. laugh at the little things, smile always. soak up as much sun as possible and sit in the sand daily. those are the things i love the most. and most importantly, love my job. learn about it, live it. be gracious every second for the opportunity to live and work in the area that i much adore. not to mention, i get to sit at my computer and laugh with Magda everyday. pretty awesome.

I am anxiously awaiting my tuscaloosa visit...leaving two weeks from today! it shall be such a wonderful weekend i believe. a great pep in my step.
mom and dad are headed down today to spend the weekend with me and i am very excited!! i am very hopeful that mom feels healthy and able to spend time in the sun and water, playing like old times.
i have decided that i am once again destined to be single. at least for now. and thats ok. ive met some amazing people here thus far.one in particular is destined to change my life...he's amazing. but connecting with anyone over sun and salt water is a guaranteed friend for life in my book...

i leave you with this thought:
"A small body of determined spirits fired by an unquenchable faith in their mission can alter the course of history."
Mohandas Gandhi
isn't that the reason that we're all here? to believe in something and fight for a cause? i know i have my personal fights lying in the fight for equality for all peoples as well as environmental issues down here in my new habitat. but restless wars lie everywhere. its time everyone picks a battles and fights relentlessly until change occurs. the oppressed together are far stronger than the oppressor could ever dream of being. fight on my little lovers.
