declutter and shape-up!

that's what i'm making my brain do this weekend. i came home for a little mental holiday. i still have been working on homework like a mad woman, but i needed some peace and quiet and the opportunity to sort out some internal conflicts and reassess my attitude. i don't know how much progress i've made, but its nice to be laying in a big bed, my kitty sleeping at my feet, enjoying my new found love of OneRepublic, and not having to worry about waking up to an alarm in the morning.

i was guarding during a water polo tournament yesterday, and a group of special needs students from Cal Lu came to support our boys during the first game. they've been on my mind ever since - on breaks the announcer would play music and half of the group would dance with complete disregard for anyone who was watching. how beautiful to just be you and do what makes you smile - they sure made me smile. what a glorious thing it is to have even just a small moment of carefree being and experience such simple joy.
