Elegies-Sextus Propertius
It's been some time since I've written a new post. Tell me, has absence made the heart grow fonder? This quote has been resonating with me lately, It seems so ridiculous. That five days should feel so long. I'm missing all of our beloved school a fair deal right now. And can't wait to return tomorrow! I've survived yet another Thanksgiving, only a little worse for the wear. As usual I over ate myself to the point of illness, this was of course encouraged, read forced, by those select members of my family that believe I'm far too thin, at near six foot and weighing not quite one hundred and thirty pounds, I'm defiantly on the skinny side, but no where near an unhealthy extreme. I wonder what has happened to the body imaging of our society if my weight is viewed as unhealthily skinny, I eat when I'm hungry, and stop when I'm full. That's kinda how it's supposed to work, right? On a more pleasant tangent, A tree has been erected in my living room, and the halls have been decked. That's right, Christmas is in full bloom here in my household. Currently I'm listening to The Trans-Siberian Orchestra, and trying to get the more annoying carols out of my head. It's quite late so I'm off to bed, Guten Nacht.

I love that music. Rock on. Our house is also decked out and it makes it a pretty fun place to return to... that is, until the clutter of the wek accumulates:) Research shows that our loves ones often want to feed us to show their love. A woman living in poverty will offer to make a sandwich for her child and a wealthy woman will prepare a feast... at the heart of it is our desire to nourish our loved ones. Of course, we might also benefit from learning new ways to show our care.
I know what you mean about the absence from school bit, i was gone from school 7 days, it was horrible. I didn't realize how much of an impact school had on my life until i wasnt here...I guess what they say is true "you dont know what you have until it's gone" sad but true.
Glad to hear your thanksgiving went good jordy. :)
