Keep Calm And Write On

Since today is my first day of classes, I hope you'll all forgive me a scheduled post. I thought I'd continue where I left of yesterday, with the snippets of the story that still has no name. :)                                                           ~~~~~~~~~~~ "You went somewhere else, are you alright, dear?" Betty, the nice old lady who had played organ at the church for my dad for the past eon had possession of my left arm, as of she'd be able to keep me from falling if I toppled, I took a deep breath and tried to ignore all the people around me, and just focus on breathing. "Maybe I'd better take it from here." my big brother Caleb whispered in my ear. I nodded and let Betty lead my back to her seat. But just before I turned around to sit, I saw something. Two people standing in the back of the church. A tall, willowy man and a petite woman. It couldn't be, It wasn't possible. Or maybe...maybe it was possible and my suspic

watching...Nothing. because the cable is being cantakerous. Grrr Listening to...The steeler game, or trying, Mostly failing, But i'm trying. Living...The first week of my first year of campus life.

Praying about...A job application I have in at a place that would likely be a very good fit. reading....nothing at the moment. Because time. And college, And busyness. making...goals to blog more often,,..to read more often...to be more open to meeting new people. And I make an effort. I do. But it's difficult to find a balance between introversion and extraversion, people time and quiet time, and talking versus hiding in my room like I'd like to. ...Still working on that, actually. I guess that's all for now. I like doing these currently posts. I think it's a neat way to get a snapshot of life even when I'm
