Jebus Loves You

As I sit here in my office, I really wonder what life is all about. I hate to get all sappy on you people but it takes something momentus in my life (i.e. death or birth or even a good sandwich) to make me contemplate these issues. I always get into my little petty problems like how whenever I use bleach in my washing machine, I always ruin something, it never fails (tend to still wear the clothing anyways, so beware). I tend to lose sight of what is really important.
I think everyone does this from time to time. I just feel like I'm not grateful enough (except around Thanksgiving) and I have some fabulous things in my life. Why am I so anxious to move on with my life (i.e. move to another country/city) when what I have here is so great? I always feel like if I move to yet another city, my life will be completely different. You know what the only thing that changes is? Scenery and my lack of friends.
Now, I have a lot of friends, most all over the world, but I never feel like I fit in anywhere. This is where I lose sight of things. I have a lot of people that care about me but for some reason, unknown to me, it's never enough and I feel like if I move and start another life somewhere, things will be really different. Well, it usually isn't and I usually get a job I hate and hate my life even more, wishing I hadn't moved in the first place.
My resolve to this is to stop. Collaborate and listen. haha no, not really. My real resolve is to really stop and take note of the people in my life and how much they mean to me . There are a lot of people in my life that I can learn from and I plan to do it!
Anyways, this is my first post so I'd thought I'd make it a little thought provoking and meaningful, but I think I failed miserably.
So, to save myself I will post a picture of myself and my adorable newest cousin Kaitlyn.

i can completely understand your lack of gratefullness. it's because misty hasn't yet gotten her girlscout cookies... and matt ate all your sweedish fish. that's all.

in the words of the wise george michael:
"you gotta have faith. faith. faith.... you gotta have faith.. unhhh..
oh i guess it would be nice.. to touch your body"..um. wait.. not that part..
