Changes

I have not posted in about a week (I think? I don't really remember, actually) because life has carried some changes lately that I have not been sure how to write about. Being the blue-green Golden Retriever that I am (I spent the evening taking personality tests...can you tell?) change isn't my favorite thing. And to add, changes in the past semester have been the kind of changes that do not just happen; I have had to choose to make them happen. Like choosing to change my major. Or personal-life choices. Or choices about things I know I would like to do, but haven't known when to do. Etc.

It seems the older I get, the younger I feel...I have been able to realize a little more fully just how inexperienced I am. There are things I have not seen and felt and experienced yet... not things like seeing the Eiffel Tower. Things like, growing up.

As life moves forward, I am reminded that it is kind enough to come one day at a time.

On the other hand, it is finally December; a month of so many good things! I love December. Last night, though it was not actually December yet, I went to see the lights and the nativities at Temple Square; my favorite part was a toss-up between a Chinese nativity and a Native American nativity. (PS- I can lie to you, and tell you that if it had not been raining, I'd be posting pictures...but that's a lie. I am pretty bad at bringing my camera to things like this, slash, everything.)

It was a wonderful ushering-in of the month (December-eve?)

And now, let the countdowns begin:

Till I am done with finals: 13 days
Till I fly home: 14 days
Till I turn (gulp) 20: 15 days
Till Christmas: 25 days
Till Darry-berry's wedding: 28 days
Till a brand new year, with a fresh beginning: 31 days

31 days.
