summit

thankfully, i woke up feeling really good today. i felt peaceful.

i was busy most of the work day and they gave us a pizza lunch.

on the way home i stopped at april's and had my haircut then we went to the copper penny for dinner. you know... the one in the township. we split a burger and fries. it was all we needed and only cost us like 4 bux each.

with all that being said.... i've come to a conclusion. i LOVE being 27. i feel like a teenager on the brink of something exciting. i've been doing a lot of thinking and i've come up with some goals to be accomplished in my 30s. thirty is the new twenty. except i won't have to go to college or pay off my osap. i'll have loads of experience as a designer and the bombardier name to boot! its good. i have lots to look forward to.

i'm also dedicated to being single. i am lesley: friend to all, lover to none. i'm ok with this. i really am. i don't want it on my epitaph, but its good for now. this is my goal for now. to pursue singleness. to grow deep roots of faith. i'm still just a baby. just a sapling.

i'm gonna stand my own.

this could be the very minute i'm aware i'm alive.

I am so glad to see that there isn't anything a little Anne Shirley (and some good friends, hopefully bearing desserts!!) can't fix!!

Glad to hear that your smile has returned!!

It was missed!
