I haven't posted in a long time. I haven't stopped writing; I've just been using scraps of paper and a pen rather than blogspot and a keyboard. In the month between the end of the summer session and the start of the fall session, I might convert all those scraps into blogposts, but I might also do nothing like that.
Some observers think I've been doing busy-work as I engage in my first weeks of Spanish. Keep your thoughts to yourself! I wish there more of these activities to do. I need to practice, practice, and practice the language if it's ever going to feel natural to use it. Adam told me that a little further down the road some of the stuff I'm struggling to use and understand will be much more clear; I guess he's probably correct. We only have a foundation in the language thus far, and the more sophisticated elements we've yet to learn will help make sense of those foundations.
Mmmmmm, it feels good to be learning. I feel good in general. Really good. Blessed. So to cap off my night, I'm going to name eleven things I consider blessings. Then I'm going to study flash cards for tomorrow's test.
The eleven things (las cosas):
Estudio!

The eleven things (las cosas):
- My parents are finally, finally in agreement on how to end their marriage. That is a blessing for everyone involved.
- My husband and son are running together. Five miles a day until school starts.
- My sister and I are running together. The Riverfest 5K path. Every Friday at 7 am. Until school starts.
- My son is one incredible ball player. So is his daddy.
- My family supports my continuing education.
- My job is finally just that - a job. No more. No less.
- My friends are freaking amazing. The old ones. The new ones. Probably the ones yet to be.
- My annual cleaning is almost finished. And it feels nice to be in my homespace.
- My to-read stack is dwindling. That tops the list of the eleven worst things on my horizon.
- My experiences and what I've learned from them inspire those who really listen.
- My body is strong.
Estudio!
