So much to share!

As I look back on my day, my heart is filled with joy over all that has taken place.

Care to catch some snippets into my life?

I woke up at 4am to give myself time to eat, stretch, shower, and generally get ready for the day, before I headed to the bus stop at 6am.

Before I walked out my front door, I heard the eeriest sound, looked over, and almost screamed because my new kitty friend was hanging by his claws from my front screen door, looking intently into my apartment. I told him he shouldn't do THAT again ;)

I always allow for some down time once I get to the bus stop. I make calls or listen to music or just hang out with my main chicken, Lady. Today, I got to talk to Lisa :)

Once I got on the bus, I began going over in my head some things that I had resolved the night before. I made the decision to be aggressive in my eating habits again. I have become lax over these last couple of months, eating rarely and not getting proper nutrition. I decided today, that I would begin eating every 2-3 hours, and for every one of my main meals, salmon would be added.

It is absolutely AMAZING the changes that I have felt taking place in my body after only ! DAY or eating this way! I feel alert, my blood sugar levels have kept pretty even, and I'm not struggling with being overly hungry. PRAISE GOD!

My poor body has been trying to tell me something was wrong for a LONG time! I finally decided to listen and DO something about it!

So, it was a good day at work. I'm always ready to go home after my shift because it is truly hard work to deal with the public ALL day, but some fun things happened.

I got to chat with Mike and one thing he told me really stood out today. He said Kauai draws out righteousness in people. We both share different backgrounds and feelings about faith and what it looks like to walk with God but on that one thing we can agree. What an amazing statement!

At one point during the day, Zeb, one of my managers, who can't be more than 19, walked by my register with the sappiest smile on his face. When I asked him why he was smiling, he told me he didn't know why. His smile reminded me so much of Lindsay and James, but mostly of Lindsay, because he would ALWAYS wake up with that exact smile on his face.

My friends from small group came in and they brought in a friend from out of town. He stopped, looked me straight in the eyes and said, "You are going to work with children in China."

If that dream had not already been in my heart and confirmed 10 years ago, I could have easily dismissed his words. I'm still sitting and pondering them. I do believe it will happen. I mean, come on, I'm in Hawaii! Dreams long forgotten are being brought up and out once more!

Kimmy was her usual self and told me I was a freak and weird, etc. It's just her way and I love her for it. I know she loves me :)

I made Jason belly laugh when I wrote: Lori's Scooby Snacks on my bag of nuts and then when I was counting down my drawer, Jason was doing dead-on impersonations of Chris Griffin, Peter Griffin's laugh, Gollum, and Yoda. I couldn't stop laughing! My drawer was exact to the penny, earning me a hearty fist bump :)

The bus ride home was full and one man got up so that I could sit down. Always unexpected but never taken for granted.

My walk home felt good and I made a simple meal of salmon salad lettuce wraps. Yummy! So simple, so good!

I whipped up breakfast for the morning and stuck it in the fridge. I am feeling very content with my day and I think I will go to the beach for a little bit and then turn in early for the night.

I carry you all in my heart. I really do. I hope you always feel my love coming from Kauai!
