If my week were a buffet I would just get another plate and keep going... my week is not a buffet so when the plate gets full I just have to stop adding to it. :)Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112280949591217660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527207283302611357.post-70862482340212260432012-03-11T21:13:28.041-04:002012-03-11T21:13:28.041-04:00Jay, I am glad you were able to stomach it if it w...Jay, I am glad you were able to stomach it if it wasn't quite your flavor. :) I think that people tend to not share their faith but it seems like it's one of the most interesting parts of people's lives.<br /><br />You seem to say so much through the photography we might be able to paint a picture of you! I was never much of an artist outside of expression--and only that on days when I'm not dyslexic.

I think I'm doing better by getting some of it out, but also remembering the past year like it was some sort of nasty mountain. Mountains are nasty going up, but you get some sweet views. The tranquil beach imagery sounds fantastic. We were hoping to get Hawai'i if the military thing worked out but we'll see about getting a beach anywhere. You know, it's funny you mentioned that, we actually have beautiful beaches in Wilmington, NC. We just want to go someplace else? I'm starting to sound a bit crazy, even to myself.<br /><br />I was hoping that this post could show how I actually feel about the situation and how it relates to faith. People make it seem as if it's a sin to even ask questions but that's the only thing that helps us sometimes.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01112280949591217660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527207283302611357.post-23078279760512712112012-03-11T18:40:37.532-04:002012-03-11T18:40:37.532-04:00I agree with Jay! even if you don't have the t...I agree with Jay! even if you don't have the time to blog regularly, it's nice to hear from you! ;)Shutterbughttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18129667890937305926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527207283302611357.post-17959335911169789772012-03-10T21:57:51.601-05:002012-03-10T21:57:51.601-05:00Whatever your beliefs, it's good to hear from ...Whatever your beliefs, it's good to hear from you again. :)Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12304596718908705463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4527207283302611357.post-8609852720948830802012-03-10T20:14:02.966-05:002012-03-10T20:14:02.966-05:00I'm not a non-believer, but I don't rely o...I'm not a non-believer, but I don't rely on God to pull things through, so maybe what I have to say counts.<br /><br />I take it in. When times were hard you look them in the eye, you hope for the best but sometimes you can't have it. Me, I would keep positive. I'd write down what I wanted, recite it daily, keep positive images around me. Posters on the walls had the things I wanted (a tranquil beach beach) and any negative or violent art on the walls were taken down. Just completely submerge yourself in as much positive as possible and eventually you'll feel things looking up. At least for me. Every time I'm in a similar situation I do it, and things work out. Maybe not how I planned, but still in a way that I find myself happy.D4https://www.blogger.com/profile/07917448737143816827noreply@blogger.com
