Five Things

1. Every now and then, I'm talking with someone and am surprised when they say, "Oh yeah...i read that on your blog." Often, I can't immediately think of how they would have found their way here...Now I know I'm not the most prolific & intriguing blogger, nor do I think it is widely read, but I'd be curious to know who some of my silent readers are...so whoever you are, I invite (dare!) you to make your presence known. Even with just a quick hi.

2. It occurred to me tonite that I am fortunate to have family members who are also friends, and I have friends who are family.

3. Trustworthiness is a quality I value very highly, and so it means a lot when someone trusts me. I think I've experienced a new level of trust within several relationships this week and I love that.

4. Spring and fall are my absolute favourite times of the year. I love it when there's that new smell in the air in April/May, and the crispness in the air in October.

5. Every time I've driven by a certain wooded area on my way home over the last few weeks, I turn down the radio and roll down the window to hear all the crickets/toads (?). So many of them, it just echoes all over the place and the sound has some kind of nostalgic association that I haven't quite identified yet. I love how certain scents and sound can evoke an emotional response before you're even able to clearly conjure the actual memory.

i read your blog, though I seldom comment...usually cause i have nothing to say :) but I do enjoy reading your blog (oh yes and by the way I agree jelly bellies do rock--emma-rose would also agree!)

lisa...thanks for stopping by. i'm eating jelly bellies as I type. I usually buy them at Costco because you can get a 1kg bag for $6-7! And any time I'm there I think of you because I remember that you worked there in high school.

jo...you are indeed the source of my inspiration. I intend to blog the wedding details, fo sho.

Melinda...the omission of your blog on my list is no indicator of intentional slight. The truth? I suck at customizing my blog. It doesn't make sense to me why it doesn't work. For month's Kristi's link was a dud. So I gave up trying to add new ones because I couldn't get my small current list working. But I do read your blog...usually click from matt rose's.

Sarah! My favourite camper ever, I must say.

I randomly got to your blog because I went through to some random Bethany student's blogs looking for some thought provoking ones. So..I found this one..and I was like hmm..this is an interesting blog so I kept checking every once and awhile..and then you posted a picture from your trip to Trinidad..and then I was thinking Holy Crap! It's Audrey!

Then I had to post..

so now you know how I got here..
