moxie
let me preface this with telling you that i am running on 4 hours of sleep and have a very busy day meeting with professor W and doing hw.
one of the things i love about life and more specifically, the written word is when i read something that stops me dead in my tracks and makes me think. that happened today and i wanted to just share what i read:
"Are you frightened by the weight you possess"
i have no idea why but it just struck a chord with me. so because im all done with my hw, im gonna be a loser and leave the library and think about why i liked that so much. :-)
good day

marathon. HA!
so there will be no marathon blogging today because instead of taking intro to mediation, i decided that i would try to get a directed study instead. lets hope Professor W. writes me back and allows me to do one with her. and lets really hope she allows me to expand on the paper i wrote in the fall because that would make it so much easier!!
saturday
tomorrow i start my intro to mediation course. 1 saturday and 3 sundays. 9-4. im told that this class is easy and a good way to get 2 credits knocked out of the way. not to mention that it is practical... i have also heard that it is extremely boring. with that being said, i think i decided that i am going to begin marathon blogging during each class... until tomorrow at 9 kiddos. :-)

more of the same
as is evident from previous postings, it is apparent that i LOVE words- some for their sound, some for what they mean, some because of a memory.
i love sayings even more though because i get so excited discovering the history behind them. Its so interesting to me!! and i just realized right now that i would love to find out the history behind words... i tried to use the google to find the history of a particular word right now, but could not find any answer to save my life. (i assure u, this was not because my research skills are lacking!) So it got me thinking 2 things: 1. I want a book that has the history behind words, kind of like an encyclopedia of words and 2. if there is not one out there, i wanna write it! It could be called "Rachel's Words of Wisdom"!!!!!! ;-)

foreshadow
a teacher growing up taught me what foreshadowing meant. i love that word. i love how it sounds and what it means. i hope i still will...
i got some bad news today and i hope its not a foreshadow of what 2009 is supposed to bring.
i need to take my own advice and realize that life is gonna work itself out and that which doesnt kill u will really make you stronger.
the end.

009
2009. what can i say, if it is just as good as 2008 then i am gonna have one fantastic year!
im turning 26 this year in approximately two months. thats kind of awesome!!!! i truly love getting older and i like reflecting on how much i grow each year. i changed a lot this year... i feel like every year, i come to accept myself even more deeply than i thought possible. i recognize that i am extremely lucky to be able to say that. there are so many people out there that are not yet even on that road; i used to be there so i understand how it feels and trust me, it doesnt feel good.
im undecided if i want to do resolutions. i mean i am kinda as close to perfect as they come ;-)
the one thing that i was reminded of constantly this year was that- life always works out. knowing and believing that really brings a peace over me and i hope that all of u either already understand that or will one day soon. :-)
