AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS by Portia Nelson

I.
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost...I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes me forever to find a way out.

II.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in the same place
but, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

III.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in...it's a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

IV.
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

V.
I walk down another street.

Now Listening

I am dancing to this for a contemporary dance class I am taking...love it! So beautiful. It's especially touching for our group because a girl in our class lost her stepmother a few years ago in a car accident, and this dance is the story of her journey with grief.

Having a "Blah" day

I have only a week left in school and you would THINK that I would be eager to get all of my work done. There's not too much left to do and you would THINK I would just bite the bullet and finish it up. You would THINK so, but no. I just can't get myself to focus on my last few educational tasks that will ever be on my to do list again.

There are things that I would simply rather be doing.

As my Annie would say...BUT!!! I might as well just get all of it done so I can really focus on the other things without a care or worry =)

It's that time again...

I have a week and a half left of school. It's rather exciting. I have time. To. Breathe.

Aaaahhhhh.

It's beautiful.

BUT...if you know me well enough, you know that I cannot function unless I am busy. So this whole school coming to an end thing, while I am extrememly relieved and excited to be done with this chapter and start the next, is kind of freaking me out. Thus, I have started reading a new book and I will start blogging again. Not that I ever did it all that regularly.

Right now I am house sitting for a friend while she is with her family at Disneyland. She has three dogs, and they are super cute all cuddled up next to me on the couch right now but OH MY GOODNESS it was a chore getting them to calm down when I walked in the door this evening! We've got on our hands: a little yippee dog, a medium yippee dog, and a small lab who is not yippee, but very skittish (Don't mind these words I'm making up...I do what I want). Hopefully they don't go crazy every time I walk in the door.

heard this today...

"Don't tell your God how big your fears are, tell your fears how big your GOD is!"

Love it.

Ok, this looks really awesome...

That was a trailer for an online series coming out next year. The dancers in the series are part of an actual dance group called the "Legion of Extraordinary Dancers" or "LXD."

Here is another video of them dancing on an episode of So You Think You Can Dance a couple weeks ago...also take note of the music choice. Very cool if you have heard the original version by Coldplay!
