chewing, pondering, sleeping

the mandatory 2 week vacation officially started on tuesday, but i haven't been processing as much as i would like to. what i have been doing is eating, vegging and sleeping, which has been rejuvenating. i didn't realize how tired or weak i was. anyway, i'm planning to write a series of reflections on my experience at urbana 09, in case anyone's curious.

a couple goals (for some reason, i don't like the word "resolutions") for 2010:

1. work on bullet point A of #4 of my "goals for the 20's": live a life of thankfulness- by jotting down at least one thing i'm thankful for everyday.
2. find creative ways to spend more time with God. learn, practice and grow in spiritual disciplines. (go through the celtic prayer book? paint more? suggestions welcome!)

today, i am thankful for: a wonderful 3 hour phone chat/catch up with el novio. i guess distance does make the heart grow fonder sometimes, hehe. but i'm glad he's coming home next week.
