morning perfection(s)

admiring somebody's lawns or... somebody's creations on the way

+ arriving

+ watching others enjoy beauty

+ wondering what all those birds are doing

+ and realizing that those are not birds... they're surfers!!! wow.

+ having an intimate conversation with into-me-see

+ coincidentally-interesting-looking breakfast

+ delighting in spotting (stalking... i haven't seen them in 2 monthss) a grandpa and his welsh corgis 

= morning perfection :) 

We have a new president. Yo yo Ma's playing was just. Beautiful. Sigh. 

I realized today that I've been writing Jan. ___, 08 for the past 19 days. 

My roomies successfully dragged me to the gymna...sium for the first time yesterday. I feel it now. 

In Spanish, they call fresh water 'agua dulce' = sweet water. As opposed to salty water. Haha i think it is cute. 

The Latin world also says that there are 5 continents (excludes Antarctica, & combines N. America & S. America into 1 continent: The Americas), as opposed to our 7. 

I kind of agree more with the Spanish speaking world. But I can see why we would rather claim that there are 7. 

Today I was randomly reminded of (well, through a conversation, but this was much forgotten) the two Christian women in Mexico who drove for several hours every week just to volunteer at the extremely understaffed and underfunded convalescent home in Tijuana. It was one of the most humbling experience I've had, praying for them. 

And this shall translate into my desire to study for my quiz tomorrow, and the language, and the culture. >:) 

:D
