A few days ago I recieved some bad news from the other side of the world. I shed a few drops of salty water, and decided not to care. How can I when all it takes is a few Doctor's visits and enjoying all my time inbetween. Especially! when it involves kayaking on the coast of Abel Tasmen National Park over Christmas with someone I love. To all of ( Read more... )

I am ok with being the polar opposite of my dad and brother, and I have realized that I need to lower my high expectations for my mom. She accomplishes more in one day than everyone else at 102 Courtneybrook Trail combined, and when all is done she is still able to smile. I ( Read more... )

i got an email from the red cross today. it said that they want me to come to louisianna to help out with the aftermath of Katrinia. I feel obligated. I'm going to call the local chapter tomorrow, and see if they will cover my plane ticket. If they will, then that is where I will be for the next week.
