Now Thank We All Our God
Sometimes God's mercy comes quietly and subtly.
- A grad school pal who likes to speak the words of the Bible out loud with me
- Daily delight in my life as a single person (so counter to the secular and Christian culture crazy push to date)
- Lessening of nightly fears of death
- Cough medicine with codene
- Friend suprising me with supper after a rough day
- More money in my account than expected
- The resurrection of my bonsai tree
- Lack of seasonal allergies
- Beautiful cousins to make mockumentaries with
- Gracious and funny parents who let the two dogs sleep in bed with them
- The pear tree outside my apartment
- Singing Easter morning with my whole family
- Insurance for my aunt's radiation treatment
- A job that challenges me to enter into another person's life, and forget myself temporarily
- The silent glee from completely understanding the biostats lecture
- Songs by Stars
- Onesie shirt with giraffe print

The advent of the year of solitude
The strange truth is that, by living by myself, I have started to become the person I always wanted to be. My apartment is metiulously clean. I am a great student, who is (for the first time in her life) spending a good amount of time reviewing the class notes for that day. I make my bed everyday and never let dishes sit out unwashed (shocking for those I have lived with). I rent movies for my own enjoyment and watch them alone. I spend hours in bookstores, lusting after books, studying, and hoping that no one talks to me. I know this sounds depressing, but it is something that I have always wanted - to be content and happy to be alone. At times the solitude is painful and sharp, but it is beginning to take on nature of a down comforter that I want to surround myself with quite frequently.
